Removing land from the Greenbelt is a dangerous and shortsighted move. It makes the GTA more vulnerable to flooding as well as encouraging car dependent sprawl. This sprawl worsens the climate emergency and creates inefficient suburbs. What is needed to solve our housing issues is an increase in density, a default right for a homeowner to densify their property, and a curtailment of housing as an investment vehicle. We have more than enough land to house everyone if only there was the political leadership to use it effectively.
