Yes.

Will we?

No.

No. The people in the game have a vested Interest to keep home values high, and those not in the game don’t have any skin in the game to offer a valued opinion to those already in it. It could be fixed, but it won’t be because too many people are banking on the ever increasing value. Not to mention all those just getting in would be submarined by a loss of valuation. Their mortgage would probably immediately default as the value does not match the risk.

I don’t own, I think the whole thing is rotten. Just a realist. It’s never going to get better unless the government intervenes on everyone’s behalf, and more than half the voting block would be pissed if they even hinted at doing something. That doesn’t offer job security, and it’s sad that’s that is how decisions get made in this day and age. Good of the people, or good of the party, you can’t have both…

People who work for the city can’t afford to live in the city.

As time goes by, communism is becoming increasingly attractive. Like, real communism. Not the bullshit under Stalin or in China.

Capitalism is working as intended, and it’s destroying us.

We have to get rid of Doug Ford first

Capitalism is a funnel -> those with capital extract additional capital from those without. I say this as a small business owner, just barely turning towards “winning” the game if capitalism after decades on the other side. It’s a resource snowball, and only a few can win.

Ideally, there is regulation, scaling taxes and redistribution. That part seems more broken the further along you get.

Of course, cause a part of the snowballed resources are used to break those. From one angle you could see the resource snowball (capital accumulation) as a self-reproducing phenomenon that drives the system into unstoppable feedback loops till they lead to various breaking points.

Have you seen China lately? It’s getting pretty dang attractive.

People are so afraid of the word still. A balance of implementing sensible ideas from the political spectrum is the way.

If you lean too hard towards one ideology you almost always get a murderous autocracy.

China has not been a communist state for a long time. It’s a hyper capitalist state with socialist values, while still under a dictatorship.

It’s a stupid assumption of capitalism that anything unprofitable isn’t worth doing. Where the market fails to provide, government can step in. Government used to build social housing. There is an intense demand for futureproof housing, like resilient passivehouse styled housing, that private won’t do because it’s not profitable and government won’t do because they forgot they could do anything if they really wanted. A world dominated by energy concerns and climate change necessitates this.

We will dither until there is blood in the streets.

Yes but it requires wealth redistribution

The opposite of the wealth consolidation that we have been allowing is redistribution of that consolidated wealth.

Don’t worry, the liberal party promised to pass electoral reform. Doug Ford voters should be free to vote for alternative political parties without a spoiler effect.

The liberal party kept their most important election promise right?

The party must die then. This is class war, no time for negotiations.

I know there’s a lot of great things that China is able to do under their regime. Like building mass transit incredibly fast. But this comes at a great price though in terms of rights and freedoms.

Yeah, that’s the idea. No entrenched government of any side will touch this, we need to force their hands. Many in government are the same folks holding onto multiple properties for investment purposes. We need to make it unprofitable to do so, in any way WE can, because the courts will never back us, and neither will the government.

And thats a reason to the most inept and corrupt premeir in onterrible history? I dont care if another conservative gets in power, no party represents me currently

There already is.

Liberal nations will dither until the blood flows like a river and it costs a billionaire some money.

The freedoms the West is throwing in the trash without even getting healthcare and mass transit for it.

Yeah but whose fault is that? People chose this. China doesn’t have a choice.
