I am fully against these proposed amendments to the greenbelt.

It should be made abundantly clear that the protected greenbelt lands are not one-to-one replaceable with land elsewhere. The ecosystems being destroyed in one area by this horrendous plan will not be simply replaced by protecting land in a different watershed.

Also, the development of land in such a sprawling way will lead to the financial ruin of municipalities as they struggle to pay for the servicing to single-family detached residences that cannot afford their own services with property tax and will therefore lead to even poorer infrastructure maintenance while downloading these costs onto everyone else in the city.

There is room for dense, liveable, mixed-use and transit supported development within the existing urban boundaries that are already serviced and will not lead to environmental and financial ruin.
