I strongly feel that by tinkering with the Greenbelt, the current government is showing its primary allegiance to be to real estate developers rather than to the current and future citizens of this province.
The best way to handle increased populations is by increasing the density of current cities rather than by spreading out. People working in the cities will only be able to afford to live at a distance and commute thereby increasing our carbon footprint. Those long commutes are dangerous and adversely affect both the mental and physical health of the commuters.
Increasing density in urban centres can be done with our resorting to the construction of highways such as the 413 which would diminish the quality of life of those living near it by exposing them to higher levels of pollution as well as cutting into natural ecosystems and wildlife corridors.
