Removing areas of the green…

Removing areas of the green belt is short-sighted for sustainability. These areas that will be developed will be more remote and not have walkable infrastructure that would allow people to do the daily tasks of life without having access to cars. The focus should be put on developing or redeveloping land that is within city limits, to build walkable sustainable cities. Exclusionary zoning bylaws that restrict areas to single unit homes should be opened up to permit multi-unit homes. Natural and agricultural areas are a precious resource that should not be consumed by building more of our unsustainable urban sprawl.
