I do not support the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan because there is sufficient land within existing urban boundaries of the GTA to accommodate projected growth. Development in urban areas takes advantage of existing servicing and, even if upgrades are needed, is a more responsible use of both public and development industry money. On the other hand the costs of urban sprawl are well known. If the issue is planning and environmental regulations, streamlining and finding efficiencies needs to be done better as well as moving on pro-active policies such as providing for the 'missing middle', inclusionary zoning and funding affordable housing and transit.
