I absolutely cannot support…

I absolutely cannot support building in the green belt. There is plenty of existing land on which to build, especially if zoning allows for mixed use, and higher than single family home development. The green belt is incredibly important as farm land, which cannot be restored once it is built upon. Groceries are expensive, and this is just going to make it harder to scale up food production in the long run. This land matters for the ways it supports biodiversity, and mitigates against flooding.

I am at my wits end with this governments auto-centric, suburbia, low-density garbage. It’s time to stop prioritizing developer profits and build high density non-market housing, which will help stabilize all market rent housing in our cities.
