I am absolutely incredulous that this government is backtracking on it's promise to not touch the greenbelt. I live in the City of Hamilton and the people and Council have decided against expanding the urban boundary. There will be nothing but McMansions built out in these new areas and we, as taxpayers, will be subsidizing the infrastructure required to service these giant houses.

Why isn't the government focusing on areas where housing could be built within the City and serviced areas? There is nothing here that will make housing more affordable which is what we need. We do not need giant single family homes that are only making developers rich.

I am opposed to any expansion of the urban boundary in Hamilton and changes to the Green Belt. We need to preserve these green areas to provide contiguous land for birds and animals - not pave it over and add some random areas to the Green Belt.
