The proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation are irresponsible and short sighted, and also fail to address the problem which they propose to. We do not need expensive single family homes in Greenbelt areas, which are a last refuge for wildlife and green space in those regions - what experts have said is we need greater density of housing in established urban areas, where infrastructure exists and can be improved upon to house more people with lesser environmental impact and greater affordability. Why doesn't the Government of Ontario come up with a plan for that? Building homes in areas set aside as floodplains and greenspace is irresponsible as global warming intensifies and natural disasters become more regular. The only part of this plan which I could agree with is adding land to the Greenbelt Areas - taking any away is robbing the future of the people of Ontario and cannot be undone. I would like to see the Government of Ontario abandon any plans to take away from our Greenbelt.
