Hello, I am masters…

Hello,

I am masters-educated public servant. I am also a millennial. I’ve worked so hard to get where I am, and despite having a secure job, with nearly four years of experience in my field of work, I am unable to find affordable rent. I am an urban planner. I also can’t afford a vehicle, or children.

Although I love the idea of more affordable housing, I do not like the idea of rural sprawl housing. I don’t understand how allowing rich country-estate owners to subdivide their agricultural lots into multiple lots would help me at all since I can’t afford a vehicle. I think this part of the Proposed Provincial Policy Statement should be removed and replaced with measures to promote with urban intensification.

You know who else can’t afford a vehicle? The Environment! Let’s have do foresight and start creating affordable and sustainable communities instead of making it easier for the rich white male farmers to make more money.
