tagesschau posted:Answers that can't survive in the face of the Tories being elected more than once in a row are not the panacea they're being presented as. Uhm, what? That wasn't an "answer" to the problem of housing, it was an explanation of why you saying that government housing is inherently bad is a dumb surface level argument that ignores the specific historical process that lead to the TCHC repair backlog. To be clear: you've not switched entirely away from your argument that government housing inherently sucks and are saying that actually the reason it sucks is that it is always vulnerable to getting cut by a conservative government? quote:(And Singapore as a model? Really?) Helsing posted:Whether you'd want to implement that particular system is debatable. But the point is there are contemporary examples of very different approaches to the housing issue so the idea we're stuck doing everything in one specific way is asinine. All we lack is the political will to try and improve things. quote:No counterargument? Insult the poster instead! It's the RBC way.

Obama was worse but Trudeau is way more embarrassing.

This is really sad to say but an actual free market would probably be an improvement over the current Canadian housing market which is deliberately engineered to produce higher prices year by year forever. Suffice it to say that is not intended as an endorsement of a free market in housing.

PhilippAchtel posted:As irritating as these stories are, you should maintain a little sympathy. People are the product of their environment, and ours blasts in people's brains that they are never good enough until they buy X consumer item right now using whatever credit vehicle they have access to. "You're richer than you think" is an enticing siren's song. I used to think more like this but frankly the left needs to tap into its righteous fury more often.

Dreylad posted:Habitat for Humanity project for 24 low income houses in Oshawa stalls out from lack of funding, buildings are damaged by weather during the lull in construction. Meanwhile in the same region there are hundreds of units being built for 500k+. I think this was more or less unavoidable considering how many economic hardships high earning Canadians have been suffering. The cupboard is bare and the people who give to philanthropic causes are tapped out, there's simply no money left to give.

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.

One of the worst parts of twitter is the way people who once would have maintained blogs will just do big tweet threads and they end up all chopped up and disjointed like something written for the Toronto Sun.
