lol yes, students are causing the housing issue /s
How about you build more houses, assholes.
Well obviously, we should build more houses. Everybody supports that. We’ll start building as soon as we find a good spot to build them. The only restrictions are:
- development can’t encroach on nature or cause any deforestation, loss of wetlands, or animal habitat
- you can’t encroach on farmland, we need to preserve that
- any building over 40 years old is historic and can’t be torn down or altered
- you can’t change the “character” of any existing neighborhood
- you can’t block the views of any existing houses
- you can’t convert empty office buildings into housing, because zoning. Also, workers are going to want to go back to offices any day now…
- you can’t sacrifice any industrial-zoned areas for housing, because industry needs that space.
- there needs to be at least three parking spots provided for each new unit of housing
In other words NIMBY gunna NIMBY
Sure, still lots of places. The government’s can start by using some of those special government powers to open up those spots and pay for the building of hundreds of thousands of social housing units with rent control they owe us since they stopped building them thirty years ago instead of the developer get rich scheme we’ve had here for generations now.
So they made the immigration minister the housing minister and now he wants to cut immigration? When all you have is a hammer…
STOP. FOREIGN. BUYERS.
