I am absolutely opposed to this amendment. We should not be removing parts of the Greenbelt area in order to meet housing demand. The housing crisis cannot be solved by developing on greenfields. We must continue to protect existing Greenbelt areas and add to it in order to preserve our watersheds, existing habitats, and for the overall environment.

Redevelopment on brownfields and existing low density areas, removing parking minimum requirements, ensuring affordable housing in a mixed land use, moving into medium and higher densities, and a shift away from our car-centric lifestyle is key to meet our housing requirements, reduce strain on existing resourcesand carbon emissions.
