  1.  @yxeaviationphotog  Rent control = Air BnB, renoviction and corporate ownership as they come to fill the void left behind by ordinary property-owners who got taxed and regulated out of the market. along with higher rent prices and lack of housing availability.

  2.  @yxeaviationphotog  <Properties also wouldn't decay if they were better maintained by those landlords.> If the landlords were legally allowed to charge the amount necessary to cover the costs of maintenance. <rents are extraordinarily high in a lot of cases when they really don't need to be. > But they are due to taxes, interest, etc. being extraordinarily high.

  5. Exactly.

  6.  @LANDBACKbyANYmeans  Not everywhere have food banks.

  7. Not really. Toronto is a Liberal/NDP "paradise" regardless of the Mayor's or Premier's political leanings.

  8. Common sense = discriminatory.

  9. Strong and independent until access to social assistance is cut off.

  10. But Canadian grocers charge 3x what their US counterparts charge.

  11. Maybe not, but you have only yourself to blame for working 20 years making half the amount they made. You had more than enough time to get some better skills and land a better-paying job.

  12. Be prepared to pay a living price.

  13. Meh. Those families are irresponsible. Why can't they raise their own kids at their own expense?

  14.  @deborhais  Neither are Trump-haters.

  15. While rent control decreased housing supply.

  16. Build shantytowns.

  17. Until the shortages follow, that is.

  18. Government meddling enabled more condo-building as it made other kinds of housing either costly or illegal to build. No one got greedy except the government.

  19. Individuals have personal agency. So continue blaming them.

  20.  @maxbolton5227  The average Canadian has a high household debt. Much of it due to living beyond his/her means.

  21. Just like most other NGO's.

  22. It's not their job to.

  23. <Since the pandemic, nurses have left hospitals and clinics due to over working, no time off, short staffing, etc.> And vaccine mandates.

  24.  @Kelseyveg  Depression is not a valid excuse for not keeping the place clean.

  25. And Manitoba.

  26.  @dee-annminer-evans  LOL. Like they stand for the working people in British Columbia?

  27. And rightfully so like any self-respecting business.

  28. Everyone want to live the big-city life but don't want to pay big-city prices.

  29. It looks like her real problem is her own spending habits.
    2
  30. The legacy of British colonialism lives on.

  31.  @CarFreeSegnitz  <Greedy landlords can say “go to the food bank” while jacking up the rent.> Partly due to greedy governments jacking up property and other taxes along with imposing burdensome regulations.

  32. And in turn grant the government permission to have their way with you.

  33.  sjtwstot  Fascism is a left-wing idea.
    2
  34. Higher minimum wage, yet is negated by higher living costs. And to top it off, most of Canada is no man's land between Toronto and Vancouver as its cities are too far away from each other.

  35.  @sandystanley1237  For what? They're not responsible for Omicron.

  36.  @annakoniarska1376  Rent control does not work especially in the long run.
    2
  37.  @adamhercia3243  It all started with Justin's father.

  38. Governments do more to exacerbate rather than alleviate poverty.

  39.  @gnarCR  Smaller stores are "unaffordable" because they can't afford to buy in bulk and they don't have the space.

  40.  @helloitsme4139  <It’s time for people to open their doors and take in others> Starting with you.

  41. <We need Stricter Rent Controls and dear I say, > And have even less housing on the market? LOL

  42.  @AskWhyMoreOften  Aside from part-time workers, who is making 15-20K a year?
    2
  43. For what?
    2
  44. Justin Trudeau.
    2
  45.  @B.D.F.  Corporate greed enabled and facilitated by political greed. The poster is right in blaming Trudeau.
    2
  46.  @NileshKanani-yw9jg  It's just a Toronto and Vancouver issue.
    2
  47. Maybe when Canada has an economy that isn't 70% dependent on the US.
    2
  48.  @biniji9377  The poster is right. That's just the price to pay for the privilege of living in the city. Especially a city that happens to be popular.

  49. Exempt them from paying any future taxes or refund all the taxes they paid since the pandemic started first.
    2
  50. And that's a good thing. Everyone has the right to be free to make as much as their skills/talent/luck/etc. will allow.
