I am a young professional starting out my career, as well as saving for a house. This proposal, "Proposed Amendments to the Greenbelt Plan " is absolutely asinine. It is a greedy push for Doug Ford to get his payout from housing developers. This plan will not benefit me, or anyone like me, as the houses that are being built will not be affordable. Building more single family houses does not "solve" a housing crisis - affordable high density housing is the answer. Furthermore, this proposal strips away protections for the Greenbelt, a environmentally significant area in our ecosystem. Without the Greenbelt, expect more flooding and less biodiversity. With a climate disaster on the horizon, Ontario should be doing more to PROTECT our environment. I As well, this proposal limits Municipalities' decision making powers on housing developments, taxes, and protections for the common citizen. This proposal is not only harmful, it is shameful. I do not support any Amendments to the Greenbelt Plan, and Doug Ford should be investigated for corruption as he is clearly in the pockets of big developers and not the people he purports to represent.
