This relentless push to build harmful sprawl must stop! We need a mix of affordable housing types within settlement areas, not expensive sprawl onto precios prime 1, 2, 3 farmland. I work in city hall and I can see first hand what damage is being done by This relentless onslaught of supposed housing legislation from the province. Removal of site plan requirements for 10 units or less for example, has been a disaster. Streamlining has not resulted in faster application processing times. What we need is to hire additional planners to process those applications more quickly. We need funding from the province to do that. We desperately need funding for affordable housing to be built near jobs, transit and amenities.

We need to INCREASE intensification targets up to at least 80 ppl/j per ha to support transit.
