I strongly believe that the Greenbelt, as it stands, should be preserved. The answer to the housing crisis is not more urban sprawl, but increased density where housing already exists. It's a known fact that urban sprawl is more expensive to service.

It makes no real sense to propose changes to the Greenbelt Plan that would remove or re-designate 15 areas of land in the Paris Galt Moraine area. Making room for homes that Ontarians' will barely be able to afford, especially in this area, is not the way to solve this.

Protected areas, like the Greenbelt and conservation areas in general, are protected for a reason and are not acceptable locations for development. Houses can be built elsewhere.

Hacking off pieces of the Greenbelt is profoundly short-sighted and illogical in light of the climate crisis, broken supply chains and looming food scarcity. We need protected farmland in place, ready when folks wake up to reality. We need to build communities up, not out.

I think this is a terrible idea that does not address the core problems it claims to. Increased density in existing urban areas will help; creating more suburban sprawl where little to no public transit exists will only eat up valuable green space and enrich developers.

I am opposed to this urban expansion and reversal of a previous promise by the government not to touch the green belt. Hamilton has enough space within the city to accommodate expansion and population growth.

In September of 2022, prominent developer Michael Rice paid $80M for land that's been protected for almost two decades. Weeks later,
Doug Ford announced proposed changes to the Greenbelt. With that, Rice's land was suddenly set to open up for housing.

No do not destroy the greenbelt with build housing. We can find other areas to build affordable housing. Don’t destroy land that can provide food, so we didn’t have to import so many products.

No! We don't need more huge single-family housing that requires long car commutes to get anywhere. We need urban density and small-town revitalization. We need green space to save the planet. Please don't do this.
I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 23 and associated policy proposals that would weaken environmental protections and undermine public involvement in land use planning and decision-making.
I am particularly concerned about the:

The proposed removal of land from the Greenbelt will weaken the incentive to support intensification of urban areas. The development could also be detrimental to the ecological integrity of the natural ecosystems which provide valuable services to the residents of the GTHA.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to your proposal to remove 7,400 acres from the Greenbelt (ERO #019-6216 and #019-6217).
I do not accept the government’s misleading premise that these Greenbelt lands are needed for housing.
