The Record: Kitchener looks at development in Hidden Valley

I don't know why they can't upzone some areas that are already developed right now instead of going for greenspace.

Good question. Many complain that greenspace reservations (including the greenbelt) restrict the supply of land, but just gloss right over the fact that zoning restrictions on already-developed areas also massively restrict the supply.

The way I look at it, our cities will stop growing at some point. But will it be when we reach the borders of our province and there is no more space, or will we use our supposedly highly developed brains and choose to stop before that point?
