Will the changes to the Greenbelt area really provide affordable housing? How many units will be affordable housing and will it only be the developers profiting from not paying development charges. Will there be restrictions on what developers charge and what savings are passed on to the average home owner. What defines affordable housing.

Development charges are determined by strict guidelines on what a municipality requires for infrastructure and services. By shifting the burden to the taxpayer you will be forcing people who do have homes out of them as they can no longer afford the taxes. This additional tax burden is in addition to the increasing costs of living, home ownership and interest rates.

We had to sell our home as we could no longer afford the high realty taxes.

Existing infrastructure such as roads etc. should be examined - can they support the development? This needs to be addressed first.

Getting a family doctor is impossible, hospitals are beyond capacity and there is no where for our seniors to live or to be cared for. Again, this needs to be addressed first for existing residents prior to allowing more immigration.

Sad thing is, you ask for comments, but it is probably already a done deal. Please, please think of the services these new homes will require.
