My forward thinking to the incoming disaster?I think that's the textbook example of clutching yer pearls.

That shit is fishier than a cannery.The Buddhists bought it all up!
I'd suggest coming back in 5 years to see how things are making out, but seeing as you're 82 already....That shit is fishier than a cannery.
lol I'm about as close to 28 as 82 but you kids never miss a chance to exaggerate.I'd suggest coming back in 5 years to see how things are making out, but seeing as you're 82 already....
Tell us again how the woke trans agenda is evil and then come at me over being an asshole.You've got to be one of the biggest assholes on this site and I feel sorry for you. I think you are so toxic you can't even read or respond or discuss things in good faith. I'm having a friendly conversation with people and then you come in like some insane person. I can't even relate to it....
A person like you is not going to be conscious enough to understand how damaging that is to your life, but you are a source of toxicity in this world and I feel sorry for you for that. It must be very hard for you to be you.
What resources are spread too thin when it comes to housing?@Andy Capp
Honestly, please explain to me how it works when the resources are already spread as thin as possible, and the idea is to throw more heads at it. Tell me how this works. Tell me how you get a nation affected by apathy to deal with this incoming problem.
I've spoken at length for years about the big thing being missed in the West, is maintenance. And that became more clearer than ever with COVID and the fallout from that. Next 10 years is going to be brutal on the Maritimes imo.
Households in the US are shrinking so that we have Boomers in 3BR/2B houses that have empty rooms while others struggle to find places to rent affordably. If anything we have too many 3BR/2B houses.I dont understand this. Especially in our area a developer will buy a property , good house and good sized yard, bulldoze that bitch then fill it with 4 to 6 houses.
How in the fuckiscle do these houses cost 800k each (when the original house/land cost around 1.5mil) when you get fuck all land, can basically high five your neighbour through the windows and dont even have a space to park your car?
This infill housing is ruining our area and infrustrature cant keep up. Would be nice if the greedy fucks could just make regular 3 bedroom houses or even 2 bedroom units but everything is profit now.
In a way that is true since services like water, sewage, power, and roads are stretched across suburbia in a way that means much higher costs to service a smaller number of people.What resources are spread too thin when it comes to housing?

Funny how defensive you get when you're wrong, this time like every other time we have this kind of interaction. When you know nothing about a topic, try asking questions instead of contradicting people, pretentious prick who sounds like he quit school in grade ten.

Why should your home be exempt from market forces? That's like arguing that there should be a limit on car production so that my brand new car holds its value better.
So you want to make housing even more expensive by increasing infrastructure costs to create new housing, and as a cherry on top, you want to make new housing purposefully less desirable by making sure it's in bumfuck and not near economic opportunities.
You might as well as have just said you want the government to tailor all of its policies to you the silly individual, and fuck the millions of other US citizens.
Most regulations that restirct supply are at the state and local level. See the lovely nimby above and you'll see why building housing is so hard.

so you are a liar too huh? that wasn't my position at all. I was talking about squatters who have no rent agreement and people who once had one... stop paying and use those laws to steal and rip people off.Careful there, he's no p*ssy. He isn't afraid at all to take matters into his own hands against anyone who pays their rent late.
We're talking about building apartment complexes in upper middle class neighborhoods. That's not going to do much to make housing cheaper. You want people to be able to afford their own homes. Not pay outrageous rent prices for the rest of their lives. Renting apartments in upper middle class areas just means you're over paying for a tiny piece of space that you'll never own. Not a good investment strategy.
Yeah if I own a home, I want it to keep its value. If you are a builder and you're looking to make millions of dollars while devaluing my home, I'm going to want to put a stop to that. Sorry but that's the market at work. Not only do I not want my home devalued, but I don't want to have to start worrying about people breaking into my vehicles and stealing in my neighborhood.
You do understand that part of it, right? Like I didn't make sound monetary decisions my whole life so I can "take one for the team" so venture capitalists can come in and get rich off of devaluing my home while bringing more riff raff in my neighborhood.

There is a reason municipalities fight tooth and nail to block though, the more condo towers in an area the more it's a gridlocked shithole with potholes and drug addicts waiting outside shoppers to mug you, takes 20 mins to drive anywhere, ER wait times triple, etc.That's a good argument for why barriers to increasing supply should be where efforts to address the issue are focused.

razzing is fine but why lie though and be off topic at the same time?lol, chill out homie. You can take a little razzing, you're no p*ssy.
Adding more housing supply is how you make housing cheaper. I'm not saying that we need to add a 15 floor apartment complex in the middle of a suburb but adding things like multiplexes and accessory dwelling units is a way to add density that better matches the character of existing neighborhoods.We're talking about building apartment complexes in upper middle class neighborhoods.
