Bill 23 is a terrible, misguided, and money-hungry proposal. As a resident of Ontario and an urban planner, it is incredibly concerning to see a plan that proposes to encroach on established protective borders in the name of creating more housing opportunities. What a disgusting and opportunistic lie to leverage a housing crisis for greedy housing developers and greedy Ford. It is exactly this sort of irresponsible outward development that historically contributed to sprawl in the GTA and the associated adverse environmental impacts, housing shortage, and wildly unaffordable housing. This is not a project for the disenfranchised people of Ontario seeking house; it is not even for the working class Ford claims to support, it is a cash grab for the rich. It's shocking to see this proposal get this far in the process.
