Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion.
I understand that some existing greenbelt areas may not be useful currently and could be developed without major or even minor environmental impacts, but....
My concerns/questions with this are:
- what studies and consulting was done with/by conservation/watershed experts and urban planners to determine the proposed areas to be opened up for development?
- what regulations are in place to insure that the developments will produce AFFORDABLE housing?
- why are development fees being off-loaded to municipalities? this seems very unfair
- what laws were broken when 8/15 of the areas in question were bought after the election and BEFORE the announcement? I'm not a lawyer, but this looks like insider trading or something similarly very illegal
- as an aside to the above - what recourse to voters/constituents have when politicians flagrantly lie and break explicit promises? this all looks so corrupt, so even if some areas would be ok to develop, how can we trust the Ford govt to be honest and transparent in light of the apparent cronyism at our expense?
thank you.
