I do not support Bill 108. We have endured the OMB and it's biased and arbitrary decisions over ruling citizens and neighbourhoods. It is not in the our interests and those of Toronto to have this Bill.

The OMB existed solely to insulate elected officials from responsibility for (unpopular, developer-friendly) planning decisions.
Eliminating the OMB was a way to return responsibility for planning decisions to elected politicians. And so to allow more public control.

I strongly disagree with proposed changes in Bill 108 that impact the environment, wildlife habitat and especially endangered species. The proposal is well-described as a "pay to slay" policy.

I am against this proposed bill as it goes against the interests of the local citizen and against the processes in place at the local level to protect the interests if the community.
As a resident of a North York neighborhood who falls victims to the OMB's biased decision to allow developers to build monster SINGLE-FAMILY homes which ultimately led to absurdly inflated price of housing, creating local traffic and sewage issues, a degradation of local road conditions.

I've been a vocal opponent of the OMB, a quasi-judicial Provincial body that makes the final decision on development applications appealed in Toronto.

Species at risk are being forgotten in this bill. Stop this bill now. We have a responsibility to stop the loss of species. Why is this hidden in this bill? New houses are not more important than a healthy planet. It is time to say no to big developers who build huge homes on richly diverse land.

IS ANYONE CONSIDERING INFRASTRUCTURE? Bad idea to give builders more power - we are already trying to work with them in our North Toronto neighbourhood to respect neighbours, work sites, roads, work hours etc etc. They do not give a shit.

I am deeply concerned about the proposed changes in Bill 108. I have lived in the Yonge and Eglinton area since 1974 and have seen firsthand the results of having the OMB override municipal planning.

This legislation appears to weigh heavily in favour of the developers and those who lobby for and profit from them. And yet it does not seem to have any parameters under which they are held accountable for the progress, quality and end product of their projects.

Since it first originated, the Ontario Municipal Board has functioned to frustrate local input into the design of communities in Ontario. In effect, the developers have almost always won and have known that they could.

What is going on??? The OMB greenlit so many projects that should have never been approved. So many communities have been destroyed. Thankfully, efforts were finally made to put an end to the corrupt and single-focused board. Now you want to bring it back??? Is there some cronyism involved here?

I object to the changes proposed. We need more community input and more community weight to the balance of power for decisions related to new development.
