Terribly short sighted.

The legacy of any government should be to make decisions that affect the enduring health, prosperity and happiness of their populace.

The removal of environmental protections and the building on sensitive areas set aside to manage flood waters, and improve the livability of our region goes against those goals.

While housing affordability is vital, there is 0 indication that using this land specifically will achieve these goals.

We have vast swaths of underused commercial land that should be considered developing on first. We have nearly empty towers in the downtown core that could be rezoned. We have thousands of rental units being used as vacation rentals rather than housing.

Please reconsider this tepid, and unimaginative proposal.
