I cannot understate the importance of protecting green space from urban sprawl and developers. There is a housing crisis, but this is certainly not a good option to solve it as it will lead to mansions built on the greenbelt, not low income housing that's desperately needed. There are so many office buildings sitting empty in Toronto after the post-covid work from home push. These could all be repurposed into geared to income housing. Developers can be regulated to include medium and high density buildings in new subdivisions in addition to low density. The green belt is an area we need to be protecting as green space not only for the animals that live there, but for our enjoyment too. There are ample options available and opening up the green belt for development shouldn't be one of them.
