I understand you're a conservative, but change is okay.

A couple things that other have already pointed out: Once that forest and its carbon sequestration abilities are gone, it is gone forever. Second, there's a slew of multimillion dollar single family homes on the UEL between NW Marine and University Blvd. (10th) that can be redeveloped to meet housing needs. It is doubtful any of those current owners work or study at UBC so there's no need for them to be housed there.
