sbaldrick posted:The biggest shock coming to boomers and it’s already happening is what happens when they say “I pay your salary” at a retirement or LTC home. No matter how expensive the home is you can’t afford private nursing and you / your family will be told it right quick if the nurse threatens to leave. There will not be a labor shortage because the boomers will just vote for more immigration. Sorry but they are never going to see any repercussions for their intergenerational theft.

That’s sad to say but overseas degrees aren’t accepted and never will be.

Pierre Poilievre in the House of Commons. https://youtu.be/7hn2b5-50go Finally, something sensible from a politician on the state of affairs (though I disagree with some of his explanations, at least the issue and effect is being highlighted. Not that anything is going to change.)

Mandibular Fiasco posted:Pierre Poilievre in the House of Commons. A surprisingly realistic outlook on the situation, from a conservative, though the proposed solutions would just make the problem worse. Opening the floodgates to more construction in the name of "increasing supply" isn't going to give access to cheaper houses for working class homeowners, it's going to reinforce the stranglehold that developers have on supply. The windfalls landlords have gotten from jacking up prices will allow them to buy more of that property and keep on siphoning wealth upwards rather than downwards. All of this while pushing out "affordable" housing further and further out, forcing longer commutes on middle class workers and exploding urban sprawl. Good old conservative double speak of "looking out for the working man" while actually giving kickbacks to the wealthy.

Why don't we build more modular housing out of interconnected shipping containers, but actually store them on cargo ships? That way you can easily relocate to any port town of your captain's choice every 2-4 weeks.

Perhaps a deal could be worked out with the captain where instead of getting a job, you could work on the boat and in the yard in exchange for food and board. The captain could even trade your services to other captains/people of wealth in exchange for goods and services. It could even be worldwide... some sort of people service trade

That's a fair point. We need solutions that actually work, not those that are solely driven by ideology without reference to evidence for success. What's ironic to me is why conservatives, if they are so about the free market, aren't more obvious and eager to dismantle healthcare? For someone like me who works in the system, I could stop worrying about affording a house because my salary would triple.

Oh, they are, but public healthcare is pretty core to the "Canadian Identity" and coming straight for it is a recipe to Never Get Elected. It still happens, just slower and not in full light

With regards to public healthcare, when conservatives get in power their strategy is usually to allocate less and less each year in the budget for healthcare and to tell hospitals and doctors to "do more with less". The end goal is that the waiting times increase and service gets worse so much so that it becomes easier to convince people that public healthcare simply doesn't work financially and only the competition of the free market can bring it back to maturity.

Condo developer to buy $1-billion worth of single-family houses in Canada for rentals Non-paywall archive quote:Core’s main business is condo development, and it has 14 projects in the Toronto region. Last fall, Mr. Hawtin raised $250-million from investors to buy approximately 400 properties, add basement apartments and turn the houses into two rental units.

As noted above, the solutions he proposes are hyper-simplistic. Any time someone starts saying "the problem is supply and demand", it makes me think the person's total exposure to economics and public policy came from the Daily Double answer off of Jeopardy a couple of weeks ago.

This is why the conservatives plan of opening up regulations is going to fail - Uncle George (or the billion dollar hedgefund company) is going to get their 13th property (or 760th) before cousin Jane gets her first. If there's no incentive to sell to a first time home buyer, the already landed will continue to amass more and more land. There needs to be reform and controls in all this - Create incentives to sell to a first time home buyer, reform realtor procedures, reform tax code for more than 2 properties. Remove most incentives for hoarding properties. gently caress it. New rule: If you sell to a first time home buyer, you are exempt from paying capital gains taxes on that property transaction.

Creating an incentive for people with multiple properties to leave the market and reduce people using a basic housing needs as an investment vehicle is the intent.
