I recognize and support the need for more housing to sustain growth in the GTA. That some of that growth will encroach on the Green Belt is not surprising or upsetting to me. My greatest concern is the type of housing and neighbourhoods that could be built on this land. If the delivered product is low-density, car-centric housing given everything we know now, that will be a failure. Releasing these lands for development should include requirements for medium density, walkable communities with mixed use zoning. They must be well-serviced by transit from the outset to reduce the likelihood that residents will be dependent on cars. These sorts of designs have been tested and perfected elsewhere and it is in all of our best interests to implement them in any new large scale development. Thank you.
