The amount of land already designated for development within existing municipal settlement boundaries far exceeds what is needed to meet long-range housing targets. This is crazy when almost everyone is concerned about the environment and our politicians flip their support of their constituents. Having grown up in the country I appreciate the farmland for food production, peace and quiet of nature, fresh air, wetlands and forests for wildlife.
As a country we need to look at the long term impacts to ensure we have natural lands for our children and for wildlife.
Increased housing can be achieved by building a little higher on existing properties within city boundaries.
