One planner says a decision by the Ford government to scrap urban boundary expansions could cost Ontario 250,000 homes and 'quadruple' the housing crisis.
Councillors approved a motion Wednesday to request an RCMP Greenbelt inquiry be expanded to include the unilateral expansion of Hamilton's urban boundary.
Doug Ford responded to Mayor Andrea Horwath’s suggestions that building on Hamilton’s Greenbelt land was ‘not necessary’ and likely be difficult to develop.
Andrea Horwath says she doesn’t appreciate the Ford government using authority to develop sensitive land and doesn’t expect the city will completely surrender to the process.
