I strongly oppose the removal of any lands from the designated Oak Ridges moraine lands. Young couples hoping to purchase their first home or new immigrants arriving in Ontario need affordable housing in dense urban areas not on pristine land owned by wealthy developers intent on maximizing their investments. The developers stand to
Make even more profit as a result of the reduced development charges which now will have to be born by the residents living in the affected municipalities.
The need for affordable housing will not be met by degrading the environment, and building more luxury homes that young couples, seniors and new immigrants will not be able to afford or take public transit to find employment.
