Yet again the government is…

Yet again the government is only thinking about their current term, and a re-election for the next term. Ontario needs affordable housing but should be doing this in the current confines of existing residential and mixed use spaces. We should be taxing unoccupied homes, looking into some sort of control for the ridiculous surplus of short term rentals, and building up. Opening up some of our most sensitive lands for development is something that should be considered when all other viable options have been explored, and reported on. They haven't been yet.
It's not just the issue of building homes, but the cumulative impact of bringing in resources to this area and the destruction of some of Ontario's prime agricultural and ecological lands.

I hope the government receives a lot of resistance on this and recognizes that it is not for the people or for the environment.
