I am strongly against construction of any sort on the Greenbelt, as it it protected land and that bio-diversity is irreplaceable. The greenbelt prevents the risk of flooding as well. Efforts in construction of any sort of residential housing would be much better suited in already populated areas.
For example, there are many empty office buildings in Toronto that could be repurposed into apartments or even safe housing to aid the homelessness crisis. Shelters are overcrowding, leaving some of our most at risk community members without options.
I believe working with what we already have would make a much better impact on, and would be better received by the general public.
The wildlife and biodiversity deserve to be protected, and Ontarians deserve convenient cities. We can have both if we focus our efforts on improving what we have around of as opposed to ignoring it and expanding on protected land.
