that was fast af

2019-09-24 01:20:01 UTC  

nice edit

2019-09-24 01:20:19 UTC  

Are you suggesting homelessness is determined by rent?

2019-09-24 01:20:38 UTC  

no I was talking about the housing topic

2019-09-24 01:20:39 UTC  

@Fondboy because... you're not in the US?

2019-09-24 01:20:46 UTC  

I'm not in the US either

2019-09-24 01:20:50 UTC  

So you gotta be specific

2019-09-24 01:21:01 UTC  

have I ever talked to anyone on here about Canadian politics?

2019-09-24 01:21:10 UTC  

Uhhhh

2019-09-24 01:21:11 UTC  

Yes?

2019-09-24 01:21:15 UTC  

I don't know fuck all about Canadian politics

2019-09-24 01:21:22 UTC  

In BC rent is high in the GVRD because
1) it's a small area
2) infrastructure is shite across the bridge

2019-09-24 01:21:27 UTC  

Lol then leave please

2019-09-24 01:21:53 UTC  

ok here is my proposition then this is off topic

2019-09-24 01:21:55 UTC  

3) money laundering and foreign buyers

2019-09-24 01:21:56 UTC  

So you live in Canada, and know nothing of the politics there, but want to comment on how the US is run

2019-09-24 01:22:15 UTC  

welp

2019-09-24 01:22:15 UTC  

That's certainly not a recipe for idiocy

2019-09-24 01:22:16 UTC  

yea cause it matters on a much greater scale

2019-09-24 01:22:29 UTC  

Ever heard of fixing your own backyard first?

2019-09-24 01:22:33 UTC  

^

2019-09-24 01:22:34 UTC  

bulldoze a fuck ton of single family homes and build appartments

2019-09-24 01:22:54 UTC  

the poor ones specifically

2019-09-24 01:23:02 UTC  

the cheep old ugly homes

2019-09-24 01:23:05 UTC  

bulldoze them

2019-09-24 01:23:14 UTC  

>rob the poor for homeless gibs

2019-09-24 01:23:16 UTC  

I mean, it's not as if he knows much about US politics either.

2019-09-24 01:23:36 UTC  

you have to pay compensations also they are probably renting

2019-09-24 01:24:00 UTC  

what

2019-09-24 01:24:07 UTC  

Actually that's not necessarily true

2019-09-24 01:24:13 UTC  

Okay, pick a specific area

2019-09-24 01:24:22 UTC  

Home ownership isn't some obscure thing below the US poverty line

2019-09-24 01:24:29 UTC  

It depends on where you buy

2019-09-24 01:24:36 UTC  

do they own more than 50%

2019-09-24 01:24:39 UTC  

then we can discuss 1) why rent is fucked, and 2) what are the contributory factors for homelessness in that area

2019-09-24 01:24:48 UTC  

because otherwise you're just chasing ghosts

2019-09-24 01:24:52 UTC  

oh

2019-09-24 01:24:56 UTC  

zoning is usually shit

2019-09-24 01:24:59 UTC  

Yeah you're going to have to pick a specific, regional problem really

2019-09-24 01:25:11 UTC  

and people wont vote to fix it because their property value will fall

2019-09-24 01:25:18 UTC  

Like, lemme use AU as an example
