Yes, but only because "white trash" in Canada is less about ethnicity & poverty, and more of a state of mind.

If people wanna live in shipping containers they can go for it. It sure as poo poo shouldn't cost them $200,000+ to do though.

It's been my plan for some time to secure some land up north and put a "tiny" home on it but the reason I began looking into that kind of lifestyle years ago is because it's too loving expensive to live "normally" in a suburb or a city for me, and now even that is too expensive without the bubble bursting

gently caress all these hipster douchebags freezing their asses off during the winter because they forgot they were building a home and not a loving play fort for 8 year olds so they didn't add any insulation, or rich assholes pretending they've gone galt because daddy's bank account paid for their 300 acre fuckfruit farm

Never mind the reef, I don't think millennials should be banking too hard on retiring at all given current trends.

I know I'm not the only one this fills with rage. There's going to be so much violence my loving god

I always say there's a lot of violence in our future and people misinterpret me and think that I genuinely long for that, but the reality is nothing could be further from the truth and poo poo like that powerpoint is why I'm convinced it'll happen anyway

It's something perpetuated by boomer journalists that need fluff pieces and don't care about the underlying economics behind living space. Just hey, look at these crazy young people living in boxes, isn't that something! print it on sunday. I got three years left until retirement.

When I was planning on loving off up north onto a piece of land and building a small place to live in, it was precisely because owning a house and living the "normal" life as advertised when I was growing up was already out of reach for a working class cripple like me. Less than a decade later, and I've all but given up any hope of that life and am doubling down on the bottom apartment in my parents' house because I've accepted I'll likely never leave. There are people with degrees and training and their health at 100% that are in the same spot in their lives. I can't wait for the TV shows based around remodeling basements on a budget of whatever you can find on the curbs of well to do suburbs

I've defended CI in the past because I thought he could be funny, but how hard is it not to be racist all the time? If you're that upset that he's not here to post links, you could post links too; be the change you want to see and all that.

Pretty sure the economy is about to poo poo itself catastrophically, I'm finding 30 acres for $50k near actual towns in BC, shitloads of new listings everywhere else (mainly the kind of prestige holdings that offshore investors love), and that 1700acre parcel comprising 50% of Princess Louisa Inlet is back on the market (last seen in 2013-ish).:magical:

Children of Men really has aged well and did a good job of nailing the right feel for the near future we are now plunging into.

I hope your kids are healthy and are able to work enough to support themselves until they drop dead, because they're certainly never going to get to retire the way you might

Wait, is that how it works? You kill a landlord, you become the landlord?

When you take the final landlord's head you win The Prize, which is that you now own all the property and can afford to have children
