expressing her concerns and displeasure about the overabundance of pizza restaurants in Halton Hills especially Georgetown The mayor responded to her letter and the matter was even brought up before council The councillors felt that the market should decide what tvpe and numbers of commercial businesses would suruve This is called the free enterprise system This response did not sit well with the

to regulate land use in the This helps to eliminate problems with ting land uses sets the use for the land for residential in dustnal and commercial It also spells out in specific terms the types of use in each zone A business wanting to locate a restaurant will look for property that allows him to construct a restaurant This could be a family restaurant fast food or pizza The business operator makes the deci that is right for him based on local market conditions return on investment etc decisions that are his alone to make In our society today we are being regulated in all aspects of our lives the private entrepreneur cer tainly does not need another as to what type of business he must establish However if any local resident such as the lady who wrote to the mayor was that in in opening another type of restaurant that option is certainly open to her What we don is a further level of bureaucracy intruding in the free market system Under our present system if we have too many
