While finding a way to create affordable housing is very important, we need to find a way to do it without destroying more and more critical habitat.
Paving/building over what is critical to endangered species makes no sense.
Paving/building over wetlands that provide support in terms of run off and flood plans makes no sense, infrastructures can not support what there is already - how can it support this?
Paving/building over what has been marked as protected for decades, with developers who will not be held accountable to ensuring the housing IS actually affordable makes no sense.
Intensifying (building up) existing neighborhoods, with existing transit and other supporting services would be the way to go.
If we were serious about creating this housing and having it be something that is actually affordable, lets take a page from what other largely populated cities/countries do to manage the same!
