I am fully opposed to Bill 66. I believe that the repercussions of opening up the green belt are far too dire mainly due to environmental reasons. But not only environmental, we want to build compact and complete communities and avoid sprawl. This will lead to more traffic. No one likes traffic!!! No one.
If you want gains to the economy, we need to be looking at protecting lands that are prime agricultural lands, clean water and air. We can work together with developers to make better, more prosperous land use decisions without opening up more land. According to the Neptis foundation, they’ve calculated that there is more than enough land to meet growth projections for Ontario. There is virtually no need to open up the greenbelt. Please, do not do this!
