It would be a huge mistake to take away farmland as well as lands designated for Greenbelt in order to build homes. Cities like Hamilton have a large amount of empty/ closed buildings that could be used. The infrastructure is already there. During the pandemic stores often had difficulty accessing certain foods. Climate change has affected our supply, ie. drought/ flooding in the US like California where much of our lettuce comes from. We need ample farmland to prevent food shortages as well as feed Canadians especially with more immigration in the future. The financial waste on building new highways as well as developing land is too high. Initiatives to slow down / stop climate change have to start now.
