Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

What's going in with New Zealand and Canada?

Canada:

  1. Two big metros get all the love
  2. Not enough houses
  3. Builders build bungalow sprawl, poorly, but get more money for repairs; and rebuilds after fire torches 2-3 of them.
  4. Still not enough houses
  5. Now also not enough land
  6. Low supply vs high demand

Results: Shitty firetrap car-dependent bungalow sprawl at sky-high prices

Don't talk to me about 7 floors of firetrap lowboy condo shit. 3 mins to get grandpa down the stairs from L7 to L1 after 3c leaves a candle lit is a joke.

Almost all of that applies to NZ.

I thought that list was about NZ, until I got to fire trap....we don't have that particular problem here.

The rest, well fairly spot on.
