The land on Garner Rd W (Map 9) is already in a busy, developed area with multiple condos and townhomes directly across the road. There are multiple retail stores just down the road. This land previously was not part of the greenbelt but was put in a few years back. Given the recent development, it's unclear why this decision was made. How can a combine harvester be expected to drive down Garner Rd in order to plough a farm? It's essentially a city zone at this point. Expecting this to be protected farmland in this area is somewhat ridiculous.

Beyond that, housing has become unaffordable for my generation. Housing prices have grown significantly beyond the rate of change in inflation and wages. One of the drivers of this is a lack of supply. This area is already developed. Why not open it up to have the remainder also be developed in line with the rest of the area? It seems an ideal area close to several amenities to build medium density housing to increase the supply of homes. The current set up of this area makes no sense. Are we truly thinking that having farmland across the road from condo and townhouse development is the ideal plan?
