Municipalities have been stripped of all decision making in connection with local land use planning, rendering years of thoughtful community planning and consultation obsolete.

Public consultations have been eliminated; citizens have no input into shaping our own communities.  Are we still a democratic society?

Schools, daycares, recreation centres, seniors programs, community centres, hospitals and other medical services are already over capacity, without factoring expansive population growth envisioned through Bills 44 and 47.  Servicing capacities are also finite for road infrastructure, Skytrain, sewers, water and power supply, and costly upgrades will be needed.  The Provincial Government has ignored these real and complex challenges and have left the municipalities and tax payers to deal with the problems.

The Provincial Government is using a sledgehammer to alter housing policy which will decimate well-established neighbourhoods.

Bill 47 assumes that the world is flat and that all land located around transit stations is the same; the policy is indiscriminate and does not allow flexibility to adjust for unique characteristics of each TOD area.

The Provincial Government has taken an autocratic approach stripping away all checks and balances under the guise of solving the "Housing Crisis", and they believe that all property owners have a responsibility to shoulder the brunt of the burden. 

Brentwood Park residents are expected to make the ultimate sacrifice by giving up our homes; we're being uprooted and ousted to make way for the development of more condos that will not be affordable or livable for middle income families.

Amendments to the Transportation Act oversteps the intent of the Act and further erodes property rights.
