Actually all of the green belt along the escarpment IS protected land - a mile deep all the way across.
And personally I don't want to live in toronto - where half of the city is always blanketed in shadow and wind tunnel effects blow down streets.
And that's the main argument you are going to get - those that want progress and see hamilton rise, and those that fear it becoming like toronto and becoming a cold city. Take a side
Personally I believe, like many things, there needs to be a balance, staggering etc.
