Artemis is fun too

Waypoint Kangaroo was really fun, You can’t really go wrong with any of the Andy Wier stuff which I didn’t see you mention, maybe its a given that if you’ve read all that you’ve read all the Wier stuff.

Finland had to close their borders recently due to a migrant influx, which they have since opened. Wonder where they’ll live, and who will pay for it, what services will the funding be redirected from, and what magical insta-build housing they’ll live in (it takes 18 months to build a 20+ unit complex after a quick Google).

My response was to Quebec city, expanded to “how could a nation even manage this from start to finish, nevermind a city”. I like this sarcastic attack on my person, though. This is precisely why I didn’t engage. If one says anything but “homelessness bad, housing good”, the internet megaminds come out and try to apply their critical thinking skills. I like your use of “we” here as well.

Housing is a right, not an investment vehicle. The entire industry from building, selling, buying and renting needs a reset. Short term rentals need their own zoning type at a minimum, residential zoning should remain residential. There are some really papers out of McGill and university of Uppsala on financialization of housing and it’s effect on affordability. There is so much shit to do on this topic and everyone is stuck at bleeting “build more homes” on the internet.

Unfortunately as I expected, the replies are just more questions.

Downvote the shit out of me, but explain how this works in the above case where one (let’s even expand it a bit and say) nation chooses to do this, and everyone homeless around the world with the means to make the journey, decides to head down there and enter the country by whatever means? We’re not talking about a taxpayer base, just a whole ton of people that want homes, and of course some small subset of those people that want free homes. People seems to scoff at the “it’s a complex problem” thing because they don’t think of the solution to homelessness within the confines of reality.

Hmm that could work 🤔

I can’t believe it’s not butter

I’ve been playing the newish Wolfenstein games on mine and they run so incredibly well. I haven’t played a campaign game before this since Death Stranding.

AND has gun ports in arms. They’re lining up outside of the audition room.

Name one that would REMOTELY fit the role

Giving government money to muskrat companies is the scam.

Iceland is in their own dumpster fire with housing. You’re better off in continental Europe if you can get a visa. You also have the New Zealand working holiday option, which is a good time. I toyed with Iceland and have close friends there, it’s rough to get housing, cost of living is expensive because everything is shipped in.

Seriously does anyone know what they’re talking about or is this just marketing bs?

He’s embarassing himself? 😂

Because you’re saying “don’t worry about the already built housing people sit on for short term rentals, those don’t count” they do count, there are a lot of them. How long would it take to build 9100 units in Toronto vs immediately dumpstering the airbnbs and forcing sale or long term rentals. There’s a part of the issue that you just might not be aware of, it’s the fucking vacant homes that sit there empty, making loads of cash during busy season.

You’re right, building more is good, but without bans on short term rentals and proper regulations around multi home ownership we’re just gonna build more units for landlords.
