Why are we even touching the Greenbelt after Doug Ford promised not to touch it in 2018? I am very concerned over this proposed bill 23.
We have plenty of places to build without sprawling onto more of the Greenbelt.
We NEEd the Greenbelt to produce food, and to protect communities from flooding etc.
What about biodiversity? the more we sprawl into the Greenbelt, the less room there is for wildlife...and diverse populations.

Looking into making it easier for tiny homes, granny flats, low rise....sure! Excellent.
I’ve met a couple of folks who are working poor that can’t believe that this is a solution to their lack of housing. They can’t afford the rent where they are, don’t have cars, have good access to public transit. But to get into a half million dollar townhouse somewhere in NewMarket or whatever doesn’t help them.
It’s very nice to add land in...but it should be added to the Greenbelt anyways....without destroying these areas by creating more urban sprawl.
