The solution to housing is not to destroy public green space for more suburb developments. We should not remove our municipal and provincial green space, which improves quality of air, land, and life in our cities and province.

Rather than constantly expanding, Ontario needs legislation and enforcement to stop predatory investors and speculators from buying up homes and condos for resale or rental. Our housing crisis exists entirely because of these entities forcing ordinary Canadians out of the housing market by buying all the available stock and driving up prices. Adding new housing will not solve this.

Invest in affordable high-density housing, mixed walkable neighbourhoods, stop predatory speculation and investment by corporate entities in the housing market, and leave our greenspace alone!
