I am 100% against expansion into our green belt. Firstly: in Hamilton, housing targets can be met on existing land. We have a sea of surface parking lots to use for housing. Parking should be underground. There is also a surplus of land on exisiting residential areas on Hamilton "mountain" to utilize.
Secondly: we are in a climate change crisis and need all the trees, wetlands and green space to offset the polluting atmosphere that is causing the climate crisis.
Lastly, I have adult children and young grandchildren who will be impacted by the negative effects of climate change. Humans can't survive without natural green space!!
Please read the scientific facts on how our green space helps our environment.
Please cancel all expansion into green space. And in fact I suggest you add more protected lands thay are off limit to development.
Thank you.
From a worried grandmother in Hamilton.
