Suburban sprawl is an inefficient solution to the housing crisis. Though it may generate some short term economic development, it will ultimately stretch provincial financial resources more thin, as additional roads and highways will create a greater economic burden on the province and tax payers. The destruction of the Greenbelt by developers will also sterilize Ontario ecosystems, putting more species at risk of extinction and removing natural defences against the growing climate crisis. The continuation of suburban sprawl in this province will ultimately rob Ontario of one of its most precious resources; it’s natural beauty. Our province must instead focus on creating more dense, mixed use, walkable communities, while also investing in public transit and bike infrastructure. Infrastructure projects that aim to remove cars and create spaces where people can more readily interact with one another are proven to be more economically efficient and protect our already threatened environment.
