Growing up within the greenbelt, I learned to value the land and unique ecosystems therein. These spaces should not be compromised for half-baked housing crisis solutions. The only additional provisions to the greenbelt should be the expansion and restoration of conservation land. Further toying with back and forth development projects only degrades sites.
Most importantly, the housing crisis alone is not real; the economic crisis is. Inflating the housing market with more cheap contracting development is a false solution for an empty crisis. Let's make the quality housing already available more accessible. Let's value heritage homes and properties through feasible restoration and affordability. Let's talk about wages, inflation, mortgages, loans. These are conversations that will help point our economy and housing market towards a more inclusive path.
