It's nice that he's funding housing. But the EGH is basically 1 big sprawl and will get even bigger and sprawlier.

Not that surprising. Nowhere to go in Missisauga except up. Untouched land all gone.

Nowhere to Build but Up

An old way of doing municipal business—generating development fees by opening farmland to development—is no longer paying dividends. Mississauga, Ontario serves as a cautionary tale for the bottom line of sprawl.

Car insurance companies are gonna love that.

If you count all the people living in residential basements and sharing rooms, it probably already has.

This is what happens when you open the floodgates to migration from India.

Brampton gets bigger?
Is there some sinister reason Brampton becoming a more important city is bad?

Yes. Those darn brown people replacing the whites and turning Canada brown.

I have a feeling this ocounty guy is a duplicate account and he has 15 posts on TERB all of them about race, immigrants and migrants.

LOL like King Arthur said in Holy Grail. "on second thought let's not go to Ottawa, it's a miserable place.

Yes, overcrowding is bad. Specially for no end purpose. Purposeless consumption. Don't want Niagara Falls looking like this. Not only do you get typical landfill waste but also Uranium, Ontario's largest fuel source for electricity. Radioactive material can't just be dumped. Currently just being stored and put away but that can't last forever. Eventually you'll have ppl lining up at Hospitals for blood transfusion because Trudeau thought it was a great idea to double Ontario's population for no point at all 30 years ago.

Wait.
You think a city has to have an "end purpose" for its growing population?
That's a really creepy kind of central authoritarian view of cities.
Is that why you think there won't be any new construction to accommodate the increase in population?

Don't want Niagara Falls looking like this. Not only do you get typical landfill waste but also Uranium, Ontario's largest fuel source for electricity. Radioactive material can't just be dumped. Currently just being stored and put away but that can't last forever.

How is that going to be caused by the population of Brampton going up?

Eventually you'll have ppl lining up at Hospitals for blood transfusion because Trudeau thought it was a great idea to double Ontario's population for no point at all 30 years ago.

I see.
This has nothing to do with Brampton at all.

Meanwhile the city's healthcare situation is in huge trouble.

What does that have to do with Brampton? Or immigrants? So that is also the fault of immigrants now?

Meanwhile the city's healthcare situation is in huge trouble.

I wouldn't say that Brampton Memorial Hospital is one of the surgical wings of the William Osler Health System. I preferred to be taken to Etobicoke General over Cortelluci in Vaughan. I was asked, "why do you want to go there, it's full of Indians". I replied "Indians make the best doctors".

 

[Kautilya]

Not exactly but there insane insurance rates sure do.

The city has one real hospital when it needs three to sustain its current population. Bringing more people in when your infrastructure is trash isn't exactly a smart idea.

PLSMV.

Insurance rates for healthcare? Most people get employer provided supplemental healthcare. Vehicle insurance sure. Not sure what that has to do with the healthcare system. Also, if your infrastructure is trash, improve infrastructure. Why restrict people instead of improving trashy infrastructure? How is that in any way progress?

 

[Insidious Von]

Brampton already has three hospitals, if you count the one in Malton. I was sent to the Bovaird location for emergency surgery before returning to Etobicoke General. I'm familiar with Etobicoke, I used to live there, I may not have survived if I went to Cortelucci.
