How do you propose these people commute? There are no roads and Ontario can't seem to find the money to build any.
Your commute from the Greenbelt to downtown TO could take 2 hours or more. Just look at the folks coming from Barrie and the nightmare they have to drive in. Most of the work is in Toronto so many have no choice.
Maybe if the Gov would stop the 200 billion in foreign fx that gets laundered in Canadian Real Estate people could afford a house in Toronto.
- sanswork 10y agoI don't agree with touching the green belt but it starts a lot closer to the city then you are making it seem. Stouffville is partially covered by it and you can get to the city in an hour from there using public transit. You can't magic up space for houses in the city. There is always going to be more people wanting a fully detached house than there is space for. So you either grow out and have people doing multi-hour commutes/try to build new citiy centres like Sydney is trying or accept the reality that not everyone can have a detached house and grow up.
