Thing is, every spot of land in the Greenbelt is just one more spot of land on the fringes of Barrhaven and Stittsville that is turned from farms or nature to houses. Land is going to be used up for the growth of the city, and putting it between existing urban communities makes a lot more sense than expanding outwards.
