The Greenbelt encompasses important agricultural land and natural systems that need to be protected for the long-term prosperity of the region. The addition of various areas to the Greenbelt over the years have been recent and a vital decision for the well-being and quality of life for people living in the towns and cities they pass through. The short term solution of providing millions houses that are unrealistically priced as “affordable” will only congest areas that need to be allocating money to other areas, while adding more demand that cannot be met. The green belt should be expanded and the unique ways of making money they already offer should be supported, and the currently existing areas outside of the green belt need to be better organized. The loses coming from destroying these environmentally significant areas will become irreparable and unavoidable in the future, the short term solution will only benefit a specific percentage of the population.
