I live Princeton, Ontario, near Paris. The massive number of homes built in Paris in the last 5 years has badly impacted the “small town” in my opinion. Developers can’t keep taking farm land. Town councils only see tax dollars. Councillors tell us it will bring business, but the reality is it brings a strain on water supply’s, waste management, policing, clearing of snow on roads, and people who move from big cities soon want all the things small towns don’t have. More stores!
The fact that only 17% of Ontario has useable farm land should be foremost on everyone’s mind. Farms are being ignored for homes. Fruit, vegetables, hay, cattle, pigs, grain ( just to name a few) are things that are grown here because of the fertile growing ground. If the Greenbelt is expanded that will only cause smaller towns like Princeton, Burford, Ayr to explode with development. I agree the Greenbelt is important but land just outside this boundary should be protected to.
