that was fast af
nice edit
Are you suggesting homelessness is determined by rent?
no I was talking about the housing topic
@Fondboy because... you're not in the US?
I'm not in the US either
So you gotta be specific
have I ever talked to anyone on here about Canadian politics?
Uhhhh
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
Actually that's not necessarily true
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
