If you have too much money you might not be vulnerable to exploitation
I’m in Australia and had this set to my notification tone for some time. Unfortunately nobody obviously knew what it was from
This way they can scrape the bottom of the barrel salary wise
We need to send them some spirographs or at least start an ad campaign
It’s what caused all those children to go missing
On that last bit. I agree with you, but people are getting paid to produce, and since they probably just know angular, they use angular everywhere.
If everyone had razors, we could end razor attacks overnight
What really grinds my gears - literally - is having to have two sets of sockets because America. It’s really gets annoying when you lose your 10mm socket and the other one isn’t quite right, but you can’t work out is 18/32s is close enough and then you bust a nut.
Playing large scale battleship. They will erect the middle bit soon using some kind of strip so you can’t cheat.
It’s a real shame the eu is doing this. I’ve agreed with most of their policies recently regarding IT and phones.
I don’t agree with that stupid cookie shit though.
I just felt that there was a lone voice of reason trying for a better future but I guess we are on our own.
I don’t speak German but what’s with all the fish on here today?
Op is not underemployed - he is working 2 jobs
I like it, at first I thought “hmm. This breaks the rules of the no corporate ownership” but then realised that so long as there is transparency / a special co-op structure where they can be sure you only own the one property it’s totally workable.
Ironically, that was my exact experience in the current system. The landlord student lived upstairs, demanded rent, and kicked people out on a whim. I like the other person’s suggestion about a co-op
In Canada there are 15m private dwellings and 38m people.
That’s one house for every 2.53 people.
I have 5 people in my house (wife, 3 kids)
I think there is plenty to go around and it’s not a shortage thing.
Housing is considered affordable if it’s repayments and maintenance is 30% of your income.
So a median income in your area should see a median house price at around that. I did a bit of maths and it’s around a 4x multiplier given current interest rates in my area.
Also consider that everyone needs a home, so median is not the cheapest available.
In my suburb the multiplier last year was 7.5x, and I just did a check and the cheapest available housing listed is 6.5x
So you are totally right, there needs to be a massive shift
There’s no reason why buying or selling a house needs to be any harder than renting a house. The default should be owning your home and paying it off. Just like the default is owning your car. Sure, you rent a car on holidays or if you need something very short term, but you buy a car if you need it more than that.
So there are two things we need to do:
Through taxation make multiple dwelling ownership a thing of the past. Plus ban all corporate ownership of residential houses. The only exception to this rule is new builds until they are sold to a private buyer.
Transferability- if you need to move and buy a new house, your old property goes into a no reserve auction pool run by the government. This same pool is probably where you get that new house you are looking for.
Together these should bring the market down to sane levels and also create greater variability in house values - really prestigious properties will continue to sell for more, but bog standard suburban sprawl would be affordable and we would no longer need rentals.
The Tasmanian trout lady was just catholic. It all makes sense now
