I am NOT in favour of…

I am NOT in favour of opening up the Greenbelt for housing developments. Doug Ford is breaking a promise here. This will inevitably lead to more suburban sprawl, the loss of good farmland, wetlands, woodlands, and other habitats that support biodiversity. The Oak Ridges Moraine is an integral entity; you can't take out chunks and then say you'll add in some other parcels of land elsewhere in the province to make up the losses. All it will do is enrich Premier Ford's developer friends.

Having lived in Whitchurch-Stouffville from 2005 to 2015 and having seen what went on there and continues to go on, it's clear that what will get built will not be affordable and will probably be big detached houses on giant lots.

What's needed is greater densification in already developed areas, midrise housing, affordable housing, etc. See URLs below from Nature Ontario and from the Greenbelt Alliance. And there are 88,000 acres already zoned for development in the province. Build on those instead!
