Surrey, Delta, and Langley Township UCB Change Proposals & Suburban Sprawl Discussion

[mcj]

Hoping to start a bit of discussion on the proposed UCB changes and general dissent from Metro Vancouver's planning policies that the current municipal governments of Surrey, Langley Township and Delta are proposing.

Here's a recent DailyHive article on the changes. As well as a Delta Optimist article on the same issue.

Ultimately, these changes would mean less forests and farmland in exchange for more suburban sprawl. Is this a worthwhile endeavor to actually help solve our housing crisis?
