Please do not touch the Green Belt. We need the food to be closer to the city. The price of food increased a lot and is only going to go up if the food has to come from far away because of the high energy cost. Having food trucks coming from far away it is only going to increase in pollution. Also, please consider that there is no public transit in the Green Belt area, all the houses you want to build there are first of all not "affordable housing" and and is only going to increase the pollution and traffic in those areas as people still have to go to work in Toronto most likely.
I understand the need for housing but please take into consideration also how is this going to affect negatively the lives of the people in the communities you plan to expand without the proper infrastructure. Have the new houses built outside the Green Belt and make sure that there are jobs for the people there too so they don't have to have such long commutes.
