Quick Poll: Where Do You Stand?

Richmond Hill is under increasing pressure to add more housing as affordability and demand continue to rise across York Region.

However, much of our city lies atop the Oak Ridges Moraine—an environmentally sensitive landscape that filters drinking water, helps prevent flooding, and supports local ecosystems.

While current laws protect the moraine from development, that limits where new housing can go.

If we continue to protect the moraine, the alternative is likely building up—adding mid- or high-rise buildings in existing neighbourhoods. Answer the Quick Poll below and let us know your thoughts.

Would you support more mid- or high-rise buildings in your neighbourhood in order to keep protecting the Oak Ridges Moraine?
