These MZOs would force…

These MZOs would force extreme and reckless density on Midtown, more than double that of any comparable development in the GTA, without the infrastructure to support it; creating chaos and overwhelming transportation and services that are already overstressed, including local roads, transit, the GO station, and the QEW. The Town’s OPA 70 already permits densities up to 6.0 FSI, which is very high by any North American standard, making these absurd densities neither necessary nor acceptable. The MZOs would also eliminate affordable housing requirements, which is what is actually needed. This TOC is not about delivering housing; it is about maximizing developer land value at the expense of livability, infrastructure capacity, and the public interest.

I have two children who I woudl like to grow up and be able to live in Oakville. I appreciate the need for additional housing at affordable prices. However, I do not want a future for my children which consigns them to living in rabbit hutches in the sky. I do not want that future for anyone else's children either. As an immigrant from Europe I support high density living. I do not support the kind of reckless mega density proposed here which will only line the pockets of the few.

I vote NO for these MZOs.
