Thank you for responding to the initial inquiry. Your standard form(canned) letter seems to have unfortunately not addressed a few critical areas:
1) the increased tax impact on existing residents required to subsidize developer fees.

I am 100 percent against the use of protected green belt lands to build any type of housing. There are many areas that could be built upon that will not harm our ecosystem. I will not support a Conservative government going forward if this plan moves forward.

If the province is expecting 2,000,000 people in growth why are you suggesting to build 50,000 homes? That is 40 people per house. How are you going to ensure there is density for that many people?

Your plan to build on land protected within the Greenbelt stinks to high heaven of corruption! It is well documented that your party's financial supporters stand to profit greatly from this move and the electorate WILL NOT FORGET if you go ahead with this absurd proposal!
Kill Bill 23 NOW!!
Doug Ford said multiple times, on the record, that he would protect the Green Belt. What the province needs is more dense affordable housing, not the ecological disaster that is giving developers free rein over the Green Belt.
Developing the Greenbelt is not an acceptable course of action to meet housing demands. The Greenbelt is needed to support feeding the influx of people as well as to mitigate the potential risks to the GTA and surrounding communities associated with climate change.

Absolutely disgusting that the government is even contemplating this. Surely this will fall on deaf ears as the Conservative Party doesn't listen unless they are being bribed to do so but the vast majority of Ontarians agree that this discussion should not even be taking place.

This ERO should be repealed.
There should be no lands removed from the Green Belt as it has been since 2005. I mentioned the reasons in my submission to ERO19-6216.

Keep your promise and keep the Greenbelt green! Developers can and should come up with innovative building solutions within the city to utilize friendly walk score and decrease urban sprawl and related extra traffic, road maintenance and pollution.

150,000 homes or even more can be built using existing non-Greenbelt land.
This is nothing short of a money grab for developers who own relevant land and wish to become even more obscenely rich.
It has nothing to do with housing or affordability.

On behalf of Mr. Gabriel DeSantis, UrbanSolutions is pleased to submit the attached letter in support of further amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary.

Ontario Citizens do not want the Greenbelt area to be reduced in any way. This Greenbelt is protecting wildlife and is promoting human health. Do not change the Greenbelt in any way. It has already been reduced.

The whole point of the greenbelt was to discourage sprawl and encourage densification. This project does little to help the housing crisis compared to many better alternatives. This project will bring unnecessary costs to transportation and furthers the climate crisis.

Ontario's Greenbelt was a very good decision and created for good reason. It protects the headwaters of rivers, wetlands, farm land and habitat. Its opening would be a terrible precedent. We need to have soil, water, air, green space for flora, fauna and mental health.

The proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation are an egregious pandering to developers that damages protected land and habitat, and by many assessments will lead only to more unaffordable housing, not less.

I am concerned about the environmental impact of opening up the green belt to developers. As well as the possible increase in taxes for residents in Markham.
We have enough housing in Ontario, the issue is it is not affordable.
