Urban sprawl is a blight. The road systems we have in the suburbs is nauseating. A complete moratorium on development outside current boundaries for almost all municipalities would force us to re-think what we are doing.

That said.

The GTA has increase almost 6x in size since I was child. Yet the road networks, subways and train systems have not kept up. Most municipalities that froze the planning projects proposed in the late 1970's used the money for pensions. We lost our ski hills in Hamilton not because people weren't using them, but because closed shop unions prevented affordable operations. We are going broke for a lot of reasons and that is too big an issue to discuss here - but it is a valid question.

If an overall plan was presented to the population in a concise and understandable way, people would do the right thing most of the time.
