Yes?
I don't know fuck all about Canadian politics
In BC rent is high in the GVRD because
1) it's a small area
2) infrastructure is shite across the bridge
Lol then leave please
ok here is my proposition then this is off topic
3) money laundering and foreign buyers
So you live in Canada, and know nothing of the politics there, but want to comment on how the US is run
welp
That's certainly not a recipe for idiocy
yea cause it matters on a much greater scale
Ever heard of fixing your own backyard first?
^
bulldoze a fuck ton of single family homes and build appartments
the poor ones specifically
the cheep old ugly homes
bulldoze them
>rob the poor for homeless gibs
I mean, it's not as if he knows much about US politics either.
you have to pay compensations also they are probably renting
what
Okay, pick a specific area
Home ownership isn't some obscure thing below the US poverty line
It depends on where you buy
do they own more than 50%
then we can discuss 1) why rent is fucked, and 2) what are the contributory factors for homelessness in that area
because otherwise you're just chasing ghosts
oh
zoning is usually shit
Yeah you're going to have to pick a specific, regional problem really
and people wont vote to fix it because their property value will fall
Like, lemme use AU as an example
There's a recent surge of homelessness in QLD
zoning is pretty retarded overall
But that's because of the recent flooding and shit
Once that's all fixed up, hopefully sooner rather than later, people won't be homeless again to the same degree
still counted as being homeless, though
In BC homelessness is drug and mental illness driven
So it varies
@Beemann it's the same in VIC, and Melbourne specifically
Also high rents
