I am concerned that "Places to Grow" is not aligning with other proposals.

To the North of Newmarket and in part of King Township on a "protected area" you are proposing to build 15,000 houses. Why would you build houses there when there is room within the urban boundaries of Newmarket to build them? Also Newmarket does not have sewage capacity for these houses so more infrastructure must be built. These houses should be low rise (3-4 stories) apartments and condos; town houses; affordable housing; as this type of housing is desperately needed.

If these houses are built within the Urban Boundaries then the Greenbelt area can stay protected.

The same can be said about the proposed building of houses within the Greenbelt north of Toronto.
There is plenty of room to build many more houses in Toronto. Putting small areas of low rise housing within areas of Toronto that are all single family homes would free up a great deal of space.

I ask the Government of Ontario to live up to their promise of never touching the Greenbelt. All the houses can be built without involving the Greenbelt.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
