This proposal is fundamentally wrong. The government made a promise. Doug Ford made a promise. It appears that Doug Ford can not be trusted to keep his word. He is compromising the future of our children. This Greenbelt boundary should be protected. We should not be slicing off parts that increase sprawl. This is bad urban design planning. The government should be doing everything in it's powers to protect the existing Greenbelt and add to it. If the government is truly trying to provide more affordable housing as it indicated then it should not be using any of the Greenbelt and instead doing everything in its power to increase infill with cities and increase densities within cities. There are numerous studies that point to the fallacy of sprawl. This proposal will increase sprawl. This comes at large costs to service sprawl. This increase our energy expenditures. This proposal does not take into account the climate costs of this action. This is bad planning and it will be a financial strain on the backs of the hard working people of Ontario.
