I am opposed to removing land from the Greenbelt. While there is a housing crisis, I don't agree that this is the best solution and the blatant dirty politics of major Ford suplorters benefitting from this proposed change is an affront to the people as well as our environment. There are empty houses and buildings across Ontario that could be updated/modernized to become housing.
Laws concerning who can buy land/houses here and regulating so there is affordable houses for citizens without generational wealth would also make a big difference.
If the proposed change goes forward there must be rules that the new housing built on former Greenbelt land is extra green (from their construction to the building's environmental footprint and energy consumption) to compensate for the loss of green land and that its affordable for people earning closer to minimum wage. In addition, solutions for relocating the displaced wildlife that is safe and sustainable for them.
