The new policy proposals are moving Ontario inthe exact opposite direction from where we need to go. Your new policy encourages lower density and suburban sprawl at a time when we need to preserve green spaces and increase public transit usage to limit and mitigate the impacts of climate change. This policy is short-sighted and driven by your denial of climate science.

In addition to its negative impacts on the environment this proposed policy will not increase development in areas where people want to live and work. High housing prices in in-demand neighbourhoods will not drop because housing exists in less-desirable areas. People consistently want to live in walkable, bikeable, neighbourhoods with high-quality public transit where they can shop and work in their local communities.
