Immigrants make a country great. One of the reasons why I'm happy about the increased immigration in the USA, and why I'm sad about the decreased immigration in Canada.

They raise the rent the max amount no matter what the tenant does. Every year, without fail. This will have no effect.

And not having any children!

You can also make soap out of it, and you get some curious byproducts!

If housing as an investment has created a circumstance where young people can no longer afford homes then it's in those young peoples best interest to sour the investment class.

Good. Disrupt the system. Until young people can purchase homes at similar rates to healthy countries then young people should escalate civil disobedience.

That may be true, but if the collective society decided to make housing unaffordable for the younger generation then they've decided to live with the inevitable shenanigans.

Counterpoint: if you rent, put everything down the drain you can. Stop taking your garbage out, just blend it and down the drain it goes. Everything goes down the drain. It's like a magic hole that erases all of your sins!!

Only poor it down the drain if you rent! Never when you own!

I found it too big and clumsy, but I'm glad others liked it!

Some countries manage to enforce it better. But I agree it would be more difficult to enforce this in the west.

 

Hey! It's my first post!

I have a few websites that are hosted in the USA. I'm going to move them all to Canadian hosts. I'm looking for recommendations for hosting companies in Canada that are owned by Canadians. I've look at a few but first hand experience is always welcome.

Most of my sites are just basic html/css/javascript but one of them is a wordpress storefront. I specifically need the Wordpress site to be as fast as possible - a difficult task for wordpress, I know.

Also, glad to see this community! Great stuff!
