Housing is a right, not an investment vehicle. The entire industry from building, selling, buying and renting needs a reset. Short term rentals need their own zoning type at a minimum, residential zoning should remain residential. There are some really papers out of McGill and university of Uppsala on financialization of housing and it’s effect on affordability. There is so much shit to do on this topic and everyone is stuck at bleeting “build more homes” on the internet.
Unfortunately as I expected, the replies are just more questions.
Downvote the shit out of me, but explain how this works in the above case where one (let’s even expand it a bit and say) nation chooses to do this, and everyone homeless around the world with the means to make the journey, decides to head down there and enter the country by whatever means? We’re not talking about a taxpayer base, just a whole ton of people that want homes, and of course some small subset of those people that want free homes. People seems to scoff at the “it’s a complex problem” thing because they don’t think of the solution to homelessness within the confines of reality.
Season 1 was such absolute dog shit. The orbital defense flowers, “JL” etc… but yeah, S3 feels like Kurtzman got kicked in the sack and someone else made Picard. I recommend watching S3 and forgetting the other two were ever made.
Also in S1 Jean Luc Picard picked a bar fight. The person that had his dick dragged through a mile of broken glass getting killed by a Nossican over and over in a bar fight, went to pick a bar fight. What was that show?
Yeah, makes perfect sense!
Sorry! I’ve only heard that title used in the context of software engineering gigs.
Exactly, not in software as in, not working for a software company.
😂 what!? I’ve worked with 11 engineering managers and they’ve all used emojis. You’re either not in software or you work for a bank/insurance.
Finland had to close their borders recently due to a migrant influx, which they have since opened. Wonder where they’ll live, and who will pay for it, what services will the funding be redirected from, and what magical insta-build housing they’ll live in (it takes 18 months to build a 20+ unit complex after a quick Google).
My response was to Quebec city, expanded to “how could a nation even manage this from start to finish, nevermind a city”. I like this sarcastic attack on my person, though. This is precisely why I didn’t engage. If one says anything but “homelessness bad, housing good”, the internet megaminds come out and try to apply their critical thinking skills. I like your use of “we” here as well.
