Any development in greenbelt regions will be a complete waste of valuable green space and a destruction of valuable conservation land. We must maintain our local wild spaces, especially given the existing sprawl and spread of the GTA. Densification allows for more efficient municipal spending on roads, wastewater infrastructure, transit, etc. while preserving.

The Greenbelt contains some of the most valuable agricultural land in Ontario, as well as ecologically valuable and sensitive wetlands and more. It is incredibly shortsighted to look to develop this land into additional suburbs that will only increase ongoing traffic issues, when the spending would be much better used retrofitting existing buildings into more affordable housing in the city centre.
