The issues we have regarding housing will not be solved by building on farmland currently designated as “greenbelt” land.
These lands are part of the functional green infrastructure that supports our municipalities in the region. The soil, plants, trees and stored carbon on these lands provide us a service we should not ignore. Building on these lands will increase our needs for built infrastructure, that not only includes increasing our networks of roads and utilities outside areas that are already serviced, but also built infrastructure that would have to do the work these lands currently do for “free”.
We are shortsighted and lazy when we believe we can only grow out instead of within our current serviced lands.
