Green spaces in housing developments are areas designated for parks and natural landscapes to enhance residents' quality of life and environmental health. Proponents argue that it enhances community well-being and environmental quality. Opponents argue that it increases the cost of housing and developers should decide the layout of their projects.

Yes
@9MW8Y2BConservative5mos5MO
researches and science always have confirmed zillion times that nature and green spaces are good for human brains and bodies.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
No
@9MW8Y2BConservative5mos5MO
yes. definitely. communities need refreshment and leisure walks, children need play. this cannot be denied.
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
Should city planners prioritize the desires of developers, or the long-term environmental and social benefits of green spaces?
@9VNPZW2 1wk1W
The second option. Green spaces improve the happiness of a city's denizens.
As well as absorbing excess waters, and also absorbing heat to avoid making a place too warm.
The long-term environmental and social benefits of green spaces -- making it easier to build low-quality housing ultimately decreases quality of life for everyone in the country.
@9TW2CCS4wks4W
No, but tax breaks should be awarded for those that do
@9TFQXBL1mo1MO
New housing development should focus on using existing resources and infrastructure to create accessible housing.
@9RS542R3mos3MO
Yes, but we need to start going away from car centric
@9RLR8YH3mos3MO
Not if it comes at the expense of solving the housing crisis
@9RC25L93mos3MO
Depends on if there is a lack of such things already or this would cause there to be a lack thereof.
@9RC2QHKNew Democratic3mos3MO
Yes, and be planned with accessibility to transit and public services (schools, groceries, utilities) in mind.
@9RBY87R3mos3MO
Eventually, but the primary concern should be the construction of habitats
@9RBVDVT3mos3MO
No, funds for parks and greenspaces should be captured in development fees paid to provinces and municipalities.
@9R5KN5L3mos3MO
Yes and No, there might not be enough space to include green spaces and parks
@9PZ8ZPN4mos4MO
Yes, and local government facilities should plant native hardy plants instead of current popular trends.
@9P8NRFMNew Democratic 4mos4MO
If possible, housing developments and communities should prevent environmental ecosystems from being too disturbed or destroyed. If this is not an option, previous ecosystems should be reintroduced elsewhere in an appropriate place where it can be insured that the ecosystem won't be too disturbed or possibly destroyed.
