My concerns are that the policy is ignoring the existing properties and lands that exist within cities, as well as opportunities to increase the density of core areas, which already have existing transit and other infrastructure. Additionally, why is the province currently not focusing on balancing building projects so that there is an intermingling of commercial and residential? It seems that this policy will create unsustainable sprawl with slowly dying core areas in the foreseeable future, with poor planning and inability to truly control the outcome of new building leading this failure.
Also, policies that encourage growth, but fail to ensure that the product of said growth is done to the highest standards will result in financial and infrastructure issues in the future, and looking at the policy, there seems to be no real effort to create a long term stable solution.
