Скачать или смотреть PEI Land Clash 2025 🌱 Housing Crisis vs Farmland Protection | Sleepy Hollow Tiny-Home Debate

Can Prince Edward Island solve its 2025 housing affordability crisis without sacrificing its prime agricultural land? Charlottetown’s Sleepy Hollow Road tiny-home proposal spotlights the battle between affordable housing, farmland protection, smart growth zoning and climate-smart rural development.

Over 70 % of PEI’s land base is agricultural, making land-use decisions critical for food security, economic resilience and rural heritage. Yet sprawl is creeping outward, driven by record population growth and soaring home prices across Canada.

Why this case matters

Farmland vs. housing: The paused Sleepy Hollow project reveals how housing demand can convert high-value soils into subdivisions if policies lag.
Smart-density solutions: Tools such as inclusionary zoning, urban growth boundaries, land banking and conservation easements let communities add supply without paving fields.
Public Land Bank push: Ottawa has listed 90 federal sites (473 ha) for housing, showing how surplus land—rather than farms—can meet demand.
Smart-density zoning reforms and “missing-middle” projects are scaling in Canadian cities to unlock gentle infill while protecting greenbelts.
