I don't support the development of the greenbelt. Urban sprawl is not the solution to increasing housing availability and affordability. It already takes hours for commuters from travel from the outskirts of GTA to the downtown core for work. Adding additional housing in the greenbelt will further burden road and highway infrastructure while demolishing acres of forests and viable farmland. Further, it is unclear how these areas were selected for development, and appears to encourage land speculation by real estate developers. As food prices continue to increase, farmland should be cultivated to provide local produce to citizens at a reasonable price.
