Why are you complaining? They are building much needed housing in Canada, aren’t they?? /s

Call it a plan, call it common sense, I don’t care as long as it’s actually being done. So far, there have been lots of talks about this emergency but no real action on the housing front.
I’m sure there’s quite a few politicians that are “concerned” about this situation…
Either I’m reading more about shootings and killings or it seems like violence has significantly increased post COVID. Sounds like we’ll be breaking records by the end of the year at this pace.
“But, I hate the federal interference into my affairs and so do other premiers. Can that jerk in Ottawa stop interfering?”
Fucking comical…
I’ve heard about this before, this is unbelivebly uncompetitive! Sounds like something the Consumer Affairs should look at.
Can’t build wealth when half or more of the income goes towards rent or that 6% 1million mortgage.
Wealth disparity increasing, cost of housing increasing, GDP/capita decreasing, productivity decreasing. This is not the “The Great Reset” that I was envisioning after COVID19. I was dubious of course, but I really thought there’s a chance of more progressive policies. But instead we just have the feds subsidizing electric vehicles tech.
From the report:
“There are currently more than 1.25 million potential homes in Ontario’s municipal development pipeline, slightly the Province’s target of building 1.5 million homes by 2031. However, the CMHC estimates an additional 1.85 million units (2022) would be needed in Ontario beyond what is already being built or in the pipeline to restore housing affordability.”
Happy to see the community of those concerned growing. Also surprised to see Remax support the 15-min city, that’s suspicious of them, but nonetheless good to see.
Sounds like you need to write for The Beaverton.
There was plenty of money invested into wars and oil extraction. C’mon!
You’d think somewhere after few years they’d figure it was a bad idea to leave affordable housing building to private sector. But nah, it took 30 years to figure it out. Makes you wonder how long it will take to fix it? We’ll be talking about housing shortages and homelessness for years to come.
Anybody excited about the new simulator?
Gotta say that when Mike says modern UI, I’m not that impressed. Feels like us electrical guys always get some of the worst CAD/sim UI designs compared to mech, civil etc. With few exceptions like Altium which imo has a great modern UI.
The federal government manded in their recent budget that banks do whatever they can to keep people from defaulting.
Plus public transit is no longer packed like sardines. Too bad they are bleeding money when not packed, the gov needs to properly fund transit.
Are these the same guys trying to force federal employees back to the office?
I hope they understand that at very least, hybrid work is here to stay. Adapt to it!
Feels like there’s a lot of stations that are sad and in need of repair. Even downtown there’s stations missing tiles, construction areas that have been sitting for a while. TTC in general is struggling.
Even the “nice” stations have windows that look like they haven’t been washed in years…
I want what they’re smoking
Also, they assume that employers will be happy to reduce the hours worked while keeping the same wages. That’d be wonderful but unrealistic.
