ERO 019-6216 / 019-6217
I fully support the removal of the Book Road West lands in Ancaster from the Greenbelt for several reasons already premised in the MMAH guidelines, but there is another underlying and compelling reason that is most important to me. It is as follows:

This is a terrible and misguided action. Affordable housing IS needed but where infrastructure already exists. The people don’t need more suburban single family monster homes under the guise of affordable housing which this will create.

Do not destroy any of the green belt for real estate land developers. Our summers are getting hotter and hotter due to climate change. Paving over the green belt will exacerbate this.
The proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation are irresponsible and short sighted, and also fail to address the problem which they propose to.

Hello. I am a Toronto resident who opposes the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area. While I understand that the government intends to add lands to the Greenbelt Area if the amendments pass, I reject this kind of simple replacement solution as irresponsible and narrow-minded.

We have enough land to build on. Do not compromise the environmental integrity of the Green Belt. Land supply is not relevant to the housing crisis and it is incorrect to imply that development in the Green Belt will "fix" the issue.

Why can't the government reassign the land being left abandoned by all the factories? There are several areas in GTA that can be repurposed for this. There is no need to use the Greenbelt for housing. If you start now, where will it stop?
I strongly object to resdesignating greenbelt or wet lands for housing. It is a very short shighted view to increase urban sprawl. Building outwards from the centre of Ontario will make people more dependent on cars and thus fuel.

Really concern about using the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve in Pickering for housing (re: map #6):

There is a large nesting site of Great Blue Herons in the woodland trees within this parcel of land...

I am completely against this proposal. You are destroying our province. You have already killed our economy and education system and now people are dying in our hospitals while you try to kill our environment.
I am opposed to removing land from the Greenbelt. While there is a housing crisis, I don't agree that this is the best solution and the blatant dirty politics of major Ford suplorters benefitting from this proposed change is an affront to the people as well as our environment.

New homes and affordable homes are desperately needed. The green belt should not be touched to achieve this. The government appears to be favoring private developers and does not present a reasonable case as to why protected lands must be developed.

Do not touch the Greenbelt, unless it is to add protected lands. The Greenbelt is an important ecological corridor that protects biodiversity and provides food and recreational opportunities in the province.

I have studied the maps of areas proposed to be removed from the Greenbelt. They seem to be consistent with the criteria that they be "suitable for development" ONLY providing that "suitability" is defined by the proponent for development.

Building more houses does not solve the housing crisis when the majority of people can't afford to buy a home. This move is clearly motivated by selfish greed and profit. The government needs to remember their job is to serve the public not developers.

I thought the Greenbelt was protected? It isn't, and I say it needs to be.
Ontario created the Greenbelt in 2005 to protect agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area from development.

ERO019-6217 should NOT be considered.
Premier Ford has stated on many occasions that the Green Belt lands would not be touched because "the people have spoken".
Taking ANY land from the Green Belt therefore means -
1.He's NOT TO BE TRUSTED to keep his word

I am opposed to any changes or amendments or boundary reduction or boundary modification to the current Greenbelt, designated farmland, designated significant and protected wetlands and forests. All of these natural ecosystems must remain protected and uncompromised by development.
