The concept that…

The concept that environmentally protected land could be turned into a housing development poses a major problem to the remaining environmentally protected land in Ontario, and creates a dangerous and disgusting precedent. The destruction of the green belt will cause catastrophic issues, and should not even be under consideration. Why not expand the GTA further east? develop other plots of land? perhaps land further north past the green belt? why not create more housing opportunities in rural areas where housing is becoming increasingly expensive and unrealistic for any first-time buyer. this “solution” is not a well thought out one, and in my opinion, should not be under consideration in any circumstances. keep the green belt green, and stop trying to use bandaid solutions that only worsen other existing problems.
