Background

I want the Government to introduce new requirements so housing developers must ensure all infrastructure—roads, utilities, schools, dentists, and community services— are funded and built before building new housing developments.

Additional details

I feel that many projects are planned in areas with unsuitable infrastructure, harming the country, and this destructive trend must stop. While I understand the housing shortage, I think the larger issue is inadequate roads, utilities, and services in new developments, straining already overstretched health and community resources.
