These changes are not…

These changes are not necessary. Many municipalities in Ontario have reported (London is mine) that they have enough land zoned already to accommodate growth.

If "affordable housing" is removed, then it should be replaced with "social housing". This is what we need: social housing with rent geared to income. This is what developers should be building, not more "luxury condominiums".

Planning should be maintained at the municipal level. We know what fits in our communities to make them vibrant places where people want to live and prosper. Allowing a free for all in development will only destroy our communities. The only people to benefit from these changes are those who will develop to the maximum extent of profit. Don't let the oligarchs win!

Lack of appropriate housing, priced to income, is what is exacerbating many of our social ills: random acts of violence and drug use.

Please give back power to the people by allowing us to manage our municipalities.
