Agree with * Housing density…

Agree with

* Housing density around major transit lines - add increased minimum percentage
* homes on farmland for workers - add net-zero builds
* mandatory mixed housing - add % specifics so that higher density housing has greater proportion
* requirement that municipalities address homelessness and affordability plans - remove ‘local needs’ as every municipality must be providing subsidized and transitional housing to prevent relocation of homeless out of their own community
* protection of water resources and water shed - remove ‘encourage’ and make requirement

Disagree with

* municipalities not having to explain expansion - dangerous precedent without firm parameters
* making mandatory housing density for development an ‘encouragement’ - must remain mandatory to prevent developers sticking with single dwelling units
* allowing municipalities flexibility for rural development - should be farmland excluded
* encourage municipalities to preserve employment areas close to goods movement corridors’ - should be a requirement
* protection of resources - remove new petroleum industry and resources

Include

* higher mandatory housing density for an development
* net-zero requirements for all new builds, private and public
* provide more requirements for all municipalities to address homelessness and affordability so that the latter can remain in their own community if they so wish
* province will support infrastructure to facilitate seamlessness of efficient and effective transit between regions
* province will provide funding for more university and college satellite sites in upper GTA such as Newmarket, Uxbridge or Bradford
* province will commit to increasing funding of clean green energy (solar, wind, wave not gas) to electricity grid to support demand in growing municipalities and provide incentives to municipalities/ regions for specialized areas of development in this regard
* province will provide future funding for more clean energy storage facilities to meet demand on grid
* province will end moratorium on offshore wind and wave options for clean energy whereby these options can produce 80% of Ontario’s energy needs and meet climate and health modelling targets
