AREA: Mount Hope, ON (Amalgamated City of Hamilton)
I’m writing to you to share my firm opposition to recent provincial actions with broad destructive impacts on our city and our province.

I do not support removing any lands from the greenbelt. The province and municipalities should prioritize lands already within municipal borders for new housing.

the green belt is a permanently protected piece of land. that's what it is. we can't allow our government to throw that away just to line their friends pockets with more cash.
Please preserve the green belts for our Children and our children’s children.
Or eventually there won’t be any of this beautiful earth left.
It will just become a subdivision.
I love nature and animals and trees. Don’t you?

As per the "Report of the Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force" there is a clear scientific consensus that the primary way forward is to intensify existing urban areas and stop exclusionary zoning.

Allowing development in the Greenbelt will not solve the housing crisis and this decision will contribute to climate change, for the following reasons:
1. Trading already protected urban river valley lands for Greenbelt lands will not result in a net gain for the Greenbelt.

Why are we paving over our green belt when our cities and suburbs have hugely under utilized space? We should be focused on improving that develop spaces we already have, improving public transportation, neighborhood composition, walkability/bikability, etc.

This is missing the mark (intentionally, I suspect.) Doug, we don't want more cheaply made McMansions for one, we want AFFORDABLE housing developments to drive down rent. ie housing for something in the realm of sanity like 1200/month.

As a life long resident of Ontario I believe the green belt is an essential part of our province. I feel as though it is incredibly important to have all this nature surrounding our cities and it’s necessary that we keep that green space safe and protected.

"The people have spoken — we won't touch the Greenbelt. Very simple. That's it, the people have spoken. I'm going to listen to them. They don't want me to touch the Greenbelt, we won't touch the Greenbelt," Ford said in a statement.

There are definitely people more qualified than me to speak on this, but I’m a student in Urban Planning and I truly want to see my province of birth become a great place to live.
Ontario doesn’t need more McMansions, power centers, strip malls and highways.

I am very concerned about the use of the Greenbelt for housing. While I realize housing prices are out of this world right now, and there is proposed increased immigration, I do not feel that this is the way to go.

Ontario is in dire need of new homes. It is also a chance for us to make our cities more vibrant, instead of opting for low density sprawl. Moderate density can help us reach the balance between good quality of life and economies of scale to support local development.

We have the space for medium density houses. Remove R1 zoning from most of the suburbs and make it affordable for smaller developers to make duplexes/triplexes (cut the red tape).
