I currently work as a painter on newly built homes, it hurts seeing the beautiful landscapes destroyed to build single family homes. Even working above minimum wage I would never be able to afford these homes. At the start of the year I had to move out of an apartment and back into my parent's town house.
Bulldozing important environmental areas to make more low density neighborhoods would offer no benefit to myself or my peers in similar situations. Nor do I think it will have a positive effect on the city in the long run. Ottawa's green belt and it's closeness to nature is a key aspect of the city's identity. My ability to connect with nature here is one of the things that makes me proud to have grown up in Ottawa and it's a huge reason why I'd consider staying. The housing crisis is not a land crisis.
Please protect the greenbelt.
Please protect all it's inhabitants.
Please reconsider Bill 23.
