I live in north Durham with my family and 3 girls. We would like to be able to subdivide our property into 2 acre parcels to build houses for our extended family and have them own the houses and property. This makes housing much more affordable and allows families to stay together. As well if we wanted to sell off a parcel that should also be allowed to make our currently situation more affordable as well as provide housing for someone else in the community. Housing is essentenial not only in cities but also rural communities. As well i read some farmers are opposed to subdividing properties. This opposition should be dismissed and it should be on a property by property basis. Farmers do not speak for all rural communities and they should not be allowed to dictate how the rest of ontario operates. Or farmland should be separated from rural land since they are fundamentally different.
