  • They're just sharing their opinion on a public forum, keep it civil.

    No need to be confrontational.

  • I'm struggling to find relevence in the non-sequitor here but obviously the current government favors it more than the conservatives.

    That is not the issue at hand.

  • Why stop there? Why don't we just get rid of everyone Canadian residents included if you're so eager to find a non-solution.

    Withiout a skilled younger generation to support our aging population our economy will collapse, we need more people and we need better planned housing.

    Careful, you almost went mask off there

  • Our problems are entirely policy and zoning based. Having swoths of low density single-family homes with poor access to public transit is the problem.

    Sure having less people does make it less of a problem but it's never going to fix it and it's an insane take to suggest otherwise

  • None of this was a personal attack and to take it as such might mean you need to reevaluate your feelings on the matter.

    Pointing back to my original argument I stated that it was often a inflation resistant investment I'm not speaking of single family homes renting out their bottom half or whatever the case may be.

    I'm speaking of those you buy up commercial property with no intent to ever do anything with it because the value of the land will vastly outpace the value of inflation.

    I'm also speaking about landlords that own hundreds of properties. While someone in your position is becoming increasingly common it is not the majority in housing scarce areas. There are still a few individuals that own large swaths of land.

    There are a lot of policy decisions that got us here. But more mixed zoning, more housing, less landlords has been proven time and time again to fix it and while I'm not sold entirely on the Singapore idea I will say that everyone in my generation is fucking sick and tired of people making excuses about what can't work while people are on the street dying

  • At this point I think I'm with Singapore on land and housing being a publicly controlled good

    As it stands now our housing market is just an inflation resistant bank for the wealthy

    They just named the price they're willing to rent it at its entirely secondary to their goals and so it doesn't serve the housing market

  • Cool, so you won't see them but trust us it's there. Also if you talk about it we'll downvote you.

    This has been my general experience on Lemmy about the topic, seems like propaganda bots to me but maybe people are just really that stupid

  • If I have to read another comment about all the evil things tankies are defending without ever actually seeing a tankie on Lemmy I'm going to fucking lose my mind

  • Man if you don't see why making someone come so hard they piss is fun, I don't know how we could ever come to common ground

  • No matter what the discussion is about there's always someone taking it personal

  • Windows 11 N might be up your alley or one of the enterprise editins using group policy to disable at the unneeded shit but that's way to much work for most

  • Exactly, what are they doing to ensure the are no future stories like Madison's?

    That's how we know you're talking responsibility.

  • I know it's hard to acknowledge someone who taught us so much might be party to something so negative.

    However we owe it to ourselves and society to hold everyone accountable with due process. You and I want the same thing.

    It seems you just don't understand the toxic shadow that subtext can cast.

    We all have our own ways we need to grow.

    Sorry I resorted to personal attacks.

  • Removed mine, you're right I should take issue with the content not the user. Thank you

  • Then you clearly do not understand the subtext that saying something like "people lie in these situations" implies.

  • No stop moving the goal posts, you said they often lie whether true or not is Irrelevant.

    Given the power imbalance tactics like this have been used in the past silence people that were otherwise completely within their rights.

    I'm not saying that Linus did all these things and I agree with you that there needs to be a due process what I'm taking issue with is your language.

  • Like I said don't witch hunt but don't dismiss her either, which you have tripled down on at this point.

    I'm not outraged I expect due process, what grosses me out is your attitude

  • No implying that people in this position have a history of lying is disgusting.

    It discounts and underlays the seriousness of the situations and discredits them without due process

    Edit: removed personal attack, my apologies I should take issue with the content not the user
