The Big Apple has the same problem that all of Canada has. There is not enough supply to meet the demand. The problem is worse in Canada because the federal government is inflating the demand with unsustainable immigration levels.

The governments should tax land hoarders.

Anyone who owns more than a home & 1 vacation home gets taxed progressively for each additional home. So by the time it reaches the 10th home rate us like 95%.

Anyone should be entitled to one nice home/vacation home at normal tax rates. But hoarders should be punished.

Some flexibility might be allowed for farms/estates if they employ hundreds of people and create jobs.

Land hoarding is the same as unproductive tax breaks. They add nothing of value to the economy.

Sugarplum what good will that do when your government admits five times more immigrants than the number of houses that can be built each year.

The only solution to a housing crisis is to get demand to match supply. That means more people leaving than immigrating to Canada as Mr Pollivere said.

The situations in both NY and Minneapolis underscore the need to have performance based voting

you contribute positivity to a functioning society you have a say in the direction that society takes moving forward. you don't? go fuck yourself. and yes, my philosophy applies to elderly jackasses like JOEJ  too. I don't care if you spent a life time paying taxes. that was then, this is now. the moment you stop and begin receiving money from the government your right to vote ends then and there. 

Allowing people to vote simply because they are capable of breathing is leading to the type of leadership we are seeing before us today. Panderers. Pandering to the lowest common denominator our society has to offer because they know that such persons are the greater majority and will be the most loyal to whomever it may be that is keeping their gravy train rolling into the station

but at what cost? Surely a PONZI scheme such as that has to collapse under it's own weight eventually.

and it will

in NY and Minneapolis -- because the people there are stupid

there will disastrous consequences for both cities. Mark my words

...Nice rant Biggie Smiles Bigly!

I look forward to my imminent retirement Bigly.

My fellow Canadians like Herman Herman,  his son, DKG DKG, Brent Bent, formosanF Fashionista & even Shen Li will be supporting me since all are younger & not yet eligible for their government pensions. So they will all continue to pay inta the pension plan while I get mine courtesy of them.

If you lived in Canada I would expect you to do the same Bigly.

I don't know about Joe's ass cancer, but our provincial health care is so bad now that is what is happening to people with serious illnesses in Canada. They are dying from their diseases before they can get surgery or even see a specialist.

My wife and I have a contingency plan to get health care in Panama in case of an emergency. We know we will die waiting in my province.

Canada's health care was shitty even 20 years ago. A nice Canadian couple that stayed at the campground/RV dealer I worked at came down at least once a year for medical services which they paid for out of pocket because the wait time in Canada was so horribly long. Once of them needed an MRI one time so they came here and got it immediately.

Thank me Sugarplum, I pay the bills. I know you don't understand adult responsibility, but $700 Canadian a month OAS will not buy groceries or lube.

And yet a lot more people died in the USA during the Pandemic than Canada Lokmar.

Canada was like 3x less per capita deaths than the USA. And 75% of the deaths occurred in 1/3 of the country. So most of Canada was spared the worst of the Pandemic Lokmar. Other than 3 provinces Canada didn't get hit by Covid like the USA did.

So it was safer to be in Canada, eh Lokmar? Heck I'm still alive.
