The Ford government is…

The Ford government is proposing using up 7500 sq acres of Greenbelt space for urban development in light of the housing crisis Ontarian now face. Yes the cost of labour and raw materials are all up due to runaway inflation but as a percentage, still less than the price of developed land. Canada is the world's second largest country by land mass, but we as Canadians choose to live on less than 5% of that land. Ontario alone is over 1 million sq kms of land. 7500 sq acres of land is approximately 30 sq kilometres. That is 30 out of 1 million or less than 0.00003%. It's the price of land in Ontario that is driving up the cost of affordable housing. Keeping land costs at a ridiculous level is absurd.
I support Fords common sense approach.
