There is no stated argument…

There is no stated argument or justification for removing lands from the Greenbelt to improve housing availability when so many other alternatives have not been tried and proven wrong. So much land has already been given over to farming and in turn this farmed land has become the home of endless single family dwellings on small lots spreading endlessly, encroaching on more farmland and wildlife habitat. Our educated workforce of urban planners can be directed to rectify this situation. Pushing development right up against the current boundaries of the Greenbelt threatens to habitat and species that are now under threat of extinction. Bill 23 must incorporate guidelines that increase density on what already exists and ways of also increasing and protecting what wildlife habitat we still have left.
