Farmland and green space is critical to sustain food for the local urban space. Refurbish industrial lands or gentrify older areas for affordable housing. Moving into green space is disrupting animal habitats and causing more accidents with deer and other creatures. Read more

This is a great policy. This will not hinder farming but improve farming as kids will stay on farms and continue to farm. I currently live a distance from the farm and somewhat neglect the farm. By living there I can improve the farm and the land. You are giving farmers a choice. Read more

I am 100% against expansion into our green belt. Firstly: in Hamilton, housing targets can be met on existing land. We have a sea of surface parking lots to use for housing. Parking should be underground. Read more
