  1.  @CHodgy  You hate the truth about those people more than the poster does the people themselves.

  2. There's nothing stopping you from taking the least among you in.

  3. <This is what we get for heavily depending on grocery stores > That's the price to pay to pay to live in the city. <it's that none of us can afford a spec of land to farm on> And if you could, most of us can't farm for squat rendering the land useless. <This country only cares about one thing - helping rich landlords get richer. THIS is the crux of all our problems.> No. The real problem is that most of us are dependent on the cities for our livelihoods. Most landlords are not that rich to begin with.

  4. <Private developers won’t do it, they make more by building less.> And they build less, because the city limits what they can build and where.

  5.  @jamescollinscares3897  .<but its our governments responsibility to look after our citizens> And this is where society f---ed up.

  6.  @vmitchinson  Most services are just make-work jobs.

  7. The same easily frightened ignorant masses?

  8.  @infantebenji  It also applies to the federal government as most politicians and civil servants are property-owners.

  9. Maybe, but they're still privileges.
    2
  10.  @wildwolfzonerwolfe6966  They were in no position to.
    2
  11.  @virtuitousvampire9371  But you're free to rent an apartment that was built before 2018 as it's still under rent control.

  12. Toronto >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> just about everywhere else in Canada.

  13. Harper wasn't in office in the mid-90's. But Chretien was. And divesting from affordable housing was one of the first things he did when he took over.
    2
  14. Nah. Much of it goes toward a bloated bureaucracy that even the most bluest of Blue States wouldn't tolerate.
    2
  15. Who's everyone? You and your social circle?
    2
  16. Rent control exacerbated the problem with people struggling to finding housing even if they can afford the higher rents due to the lack of availability.
    2
  17.  @2bRealist  Less responsibilities.
    2
  18. So is envy.

  19.  Mr.BumTickler  Not in Quebec.
    2
  20. That would be 66% of Canadians.
    2
  21.  @ijustwanttosleepnow  LOL. No.
    2
  22. It is. But this is more a municipal issue than a provincial one. And the NDP are in charge of Edmonton.
    2
  23. Because rent control and tenants' right enabled all of that.
    2
  24.  @cin4195  They're actually underpaid, especially in Quebec.
    2
  25.  @made2blaze  I'm a Gen-Xer.
    2
  26.  @Adam.Langton  It is a good reason. Even poor people don't want to live around other poor people. That's why they save up or get a decent-paying job so they can afford to live somewhere better.
    2
  27. While workers refuse to abstain from spending on their wants.
    2
  28.  @Tribuneoftheplebs  Because they haven't been taxed or regulated into non-viability.
    2
  29.  @Toto-cl8rw  Some of the downtrodden brought it upon themselves.
    2
  30.  @mackenzie9865  Not according to the homelessness per capita rate among developed countries. Canada is in the top 10. The US is not.
    2
  31. How about allowing more medium-density housing to be built?
    2
  32. Exactly.
    2
  33. It all started with Alison Redford.
    2
  34. My Acer desktop is about 10 years old and still running.
    2
  35. Too bad that loaf of bread might be expired.
    2
  36. $459 100.
    2
  37. How about no?

  38.  Lady Day  Her father is multi-racial Jamaican, not Black.
    2
  39. Don't hold your breath.

  40. Housing is not a right. No one is owed or obligated to provide it.
    2
  41.  @SnowWhite-hr4ho  <upscale condos only.> Condos = tax revenue as condo-owners pay taxes like regular home-owners do.
    2
  42. You have only your lax immigration laws and Pierre Trudeau to thank for that.
    2
  43. And end up like British Columbia with the country's highest rent?
    2
  44. Maybe, but this is not it. They took the job by choice.
    2
  45. LOL

  46. Landlords made this country. The French settlers had their seigneurie system going.
    2
  47. Wealth inequality is natural. Most people cannot manage what they have for squat.
    2
  48. <I was scared and nobody would give me a seat.> Because they didn't have to.
    2
  49.  @HuplesCat  Tankie, please! Socialists were never known for being competent at running an economy.
    2
  50. Exactly.
