The fact is that this is only happening because the OMB was a 100% pro development entity.  Other parts of the world have vibrant economies and planed landscapes, Ontario is a pile of crap.  If developer interest groups hadn't overplayed their hand and pushed for their profits to be the only planing value they wouldn't be facing this change, should it actually happen.

There is nothing wrong with NIMBY, unless locals are failing to bear their share.  Well in Pickering where we took your garbage, your 14 lanes of traffic, we take your nuclear waste, your shit from the big pipe, and yet we can't even plan our own communities without being told anything we want will be overturned at the OMB.  I think we were doing our part..  Think globally act locally is NIMBY also, and a well respected approach.
