As a resident of Ontario, I'm completely against this proposal. We need to preserve our native lands and the species that live there. A good chunk of the Greenbelt is also made up of wetlands and it's to my understanding that any development on those wetlands will be costly down the line, needing a lot of maintenance. Instead we should focus on repurposing empty lots that already exist, and continue to discourage landlords from hiking prices and leaving rooms empty until someone is desperate enough to pay their higher rate. We need more middle-cost housing, but I don't think cutting into the Greenbelt is the way to do it.
