When people trying to purchase their first home are outbid constantly by investors (corporate or not) who later try to rent out that same space at more than the first time buyer would be paying on their mortgage then no, you daft idiot, they are not providing a service.
This whole lAnDlOrDs ArE oUr FrIeNd shtick makes you look pathetic.
Another big hit to the retro gaming market. That being said, I kinda hope we get a prison speed running league from this.
I think the last game I bought out of fomo was the og COD WM2 on 360. I didn't have much money for games until like two years ago so I really only bought what I knew and only took a chance on games I knew were hyped and looked like something I was into (ie Skyrim).
I don't really care about what's new if it doesn't interest me. Bought BG3 cause it got a lot of hype and I've airways wanted to get into DnD and this looked like a good way. Don't think I'm going to buy Starfield, at least not at release.
I even saw someone on Reddit saying that you don't need to turn off water in the shower when you soap because it costs almost nothing.
Are out saying that you turn the water on and off multiple times during your shower? Like when you wash your hair, you turn the water off to shampoo then turn it back on to rinse?
That looks so good, I would hang that on my wall if I could find a poster. Is this still Amano?
Work at (insert service job) don't deserve...
Won't save my edit
It's not just out of touch rich assholes who think this. I have so many friends that love to say people who work at don't deserve to live in any city and should get a real job. The most ironic part is non of them know how to cook and rely on fast food for the majority of their meals.
People making under the median household income are the ones who keep the city functioning and they deserve to live in the city more than someone making 300k a year.
Cons under Mulroney began the cuts to social spending to balance the books, libs under Chretien finished it off.
The idea was that the government shouldn't have a hand in housing and it should be left to the free market.
There has been some rumblings that make it sound like they are gearing up to get involved. The new housing minister recently said the feds never should have left the building game in the 80/90s. Singh has made some recent contents as well that echo that statement.
Between that and what's been going on in my province, it sounds like the higher levels are finally starting to understand that the municipalities and private builders can't do it by themselves. It sounds like more info will be released in the fall so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Moved to the island in 2013 and 1br were 450 to 550, 2br 750 to 900. Right now I'm seeing 1br going for 1500 to 2k and 2br going for 1800 to 3k.
None of this makes any fucking sense, my income had tripled since I moved here, with graduating school and getting a good job, yet I'm still living like I was in 2015 making minimum wage.
Also the reason I don't have any copper wiring left in my house, probably.
News flash dude, it was wrong then and it's wrong now, period.
If you think for profit renting is superior and less predatory to public housing, a successful model used in countries all over the world, and used to be successful in this country before the Conservatives and Liberals killed it in the 80/90s, then you're an idiot.
No one is saying the empty nester with the basement suite charging an affordable price for the unit is in the wrong. The one's that are in the wrong are the corporations and individuals who are buying up properties for their own personal gain at the sake of those around them who did nothing wrong other than being unlucky wth market timing. The ones in the wrong are the politicians who have lied to their voters into believing that for profit corporations are the solution to public services like housing, healthcare, and transportation, and the voters who have buried their heads in the sand and refused to listen to reason because they are scared of admitting they may not be right 100% of the time and would rather watch the world burn than change.
If you can't understand this then again, you're a fucking idiot.
