This plan is a death sentence for climate change strategies. It will definitely not increase the affordable housing supply and will allow sprawl all over Ontario’s cherished (and irreplaceable) farmland. Where will our food come from?
This is a terrible plan!!!
I think the complete disregard for already agreed upon plans, shows Doug Ford is not acting in the best interests of the people of Ontario. I voted for him in the past two elections. Certainly I won’t be voting for him in the next. You are no better than Mike Harris
I propose cities use higher density development to reduce deficits, pay off debts, and improve services. In fact, it has been shown in the link attached that higher density development can make $606 per person per year while lower density development can cost $465 per person per year.

Why is the Ford Government so eager to destroy Ontario? We don't want sprawl. We want to save the greenspaces and everything that makes living in Ontario great. We don't support this policy
The idea that communities have to keep sprawling, to build housing, has gotten out of control.
This has destroyed habitats, greenspace and created unprecedented traffic.
Farms are butted right up to roads that are filled with gas and particles spreading into our food.

This is a terrible proposal - Cities and towns must be able to have some say over how they grow and meet housing targets - that' how we make choices about where and how to live.
Good luck with Stephen Crawford being re-elected in Halton. The vision of the Ford government is so short sighted. They just bounce from one bad idea to another.
I am strongly opposed to the policies outlined in A Place To Grow. These policies will encourage sprawling, car-dependent development instead of the compact, transit-friendly development needed for communities to be sustainable and to combat climate change.

Your Places to Grow Act is disgraceful. Rewarding developers and investors over the people of Ontario in the guise of more homes is a sellout of our Greenland. Your government knows full well that there is enough zoned land already and that affordable housing is what’s needed.

Stop the sprawl ! We can’t keep doing what we have done before. Continue with density housing , don’t build more highways at taxpayer expense. De privatize the 407.
Save our precious farmland and the Greenbelt .
Stop Ford and his developer (destroyer) cronies
I am completely against this policy. We should be prioritizing our forests, wetlands, farmlands, the Greenbelt, and other greenspaces. They are limited and priceless resources. We are in a climate and biodiversity crisis. We do not need more sprawl.

There is enough land to be utilized to meet your housing numbers.
Ontarians need nature, farms to provide fresh food and not imports that will cost us more.

Urban sprawl is not needed.
1. The further the sprawl the more infrastructure that we can already not maintain.
2. The further the sprawl the bigger the housing foot print thus more the cost.
3. The further the sprawl the less wild space

Thank you for the Bill 23 Policy that the province brought forward, seeing the latest changes City of Toronto made to finally end Single Family exclusive zones is an amazing step forward, and hope more municipalities in Ontario follow sooner rather than later,
