    Ford won’t do like Eby because his voters will revolt. Opening greenbelt is the only way to get houses built sadly, though I agree that is the logical thing to do.

      The green belt is an important wildlife corridor and it helps to protect surface water and ground water recharge areas. The benefits of a few mcmansions built in a desireable area are not worth the long term consequences of destroying the greenbelt.

      Lets stop kicking the can down the road and finally address the factors that caused this crisis like sprawl and zoning.

        If it could be done I agree. But voters won’t allow it, unlike BC they aren’t progressive, they vote Ford.
