An opinnion about the new maintenance fees after sub-metering kicks in

Once the unit's electricity starts beeing paid by each unit separately, then there's not too much left to be split in four ways according to unit's size.
A better approach I gues would be to differentiate the maintenance amongst units based on the number of people living in the units instaed of the unit's size as it currently is. Units with more people then other units consume more water, produce more garbage, use elevators more , etc, so they contribute more to the CEA (Common Element Area) expenses the the units with less people. 
Or at least I guess it'd  still just be more fair that the CEA maintenance be divided equaly for all the 195 units, as the only thing that really made the difference for different units was mostly the electricity bill.
 
Am I missing something that wolud still make sense for the units to pay for 4 different types (amounts) of CEA maintenance instaead of paying about the same amount each?

  4. Common expences include hydro.. Don't forget your reserve fund is on top ot that total approx 1,600,00.00 so that leaves approx. 1/3 for hydro out of that comes all other things garage halls pool area outside lighting and upkeep repairs to common element and damage done by people who don't care. your maint. is assed by your square footage. the more you have the more you pay.
