But I do think they are trying to destroy the middle class. They are purposeful and they are evil.

Decades ago it was proven high rise living is anti human. Crime rates, poor health & social problems skyrocket when people live in high rises. I believe it was Scotland that allowed 5 floors to be the max in order to keep society healthy. Here we are with a huge land mass cramming people into pockets rather than figuring out how to make our land habitable. Defunding the UN & the WHO is perhaps the most important step to save us all

The middle class are victims of the New Green Deal bullshit. We are in for a catastrophe in the near future. It’s worse in Canada because they gave up their gun rights and thus the ability to protect their families and homes.

What the hell are the politicians like Justin Castro thinking?

We will soon live in one room apartments, be unable to travel, own nothing and be happy or dead

This stuff makes me want to scream. Are people in power mental because of vaccinations as children causing Asperger syndrome. I am beginning to believe it. Read a very interesting article about this I refuse to take any vaccine. As usual great writing .

‘Densification’ is such a joke. Everyone knows it’s only for the rich. I live on a street in downtown Toronto that was once manufacturing so whole west side is Victorians mixed with refurbished old factory buildings. All of them have a full city sized lot for backyards. Not one has built a coach. Building costs are only one obstacle. The real problem is how many obstacles the City puts up, making it all but impossible.

The corridor from downtown to Hamilton is one long stretch of forest after another. Makes for a pretty train ride but nobody can move there because housing costs keep escalating and there’s no white collar jobs left to pay for them. Despite one crisis after another, rent and house prices haven’t budged an iota.

The goal is to pack people into the Bladerunner towers built by the City’s developer friends that line the QEW from east to west. But the quality of these buildings is degrading so quickly and they’re no place to raise kids. They look tired before the sale even closes. The retail spaces are useless with high vacancies. You’d have to be crazy to open anything in one of them because everyone has a hand in your pocket. You’d never make a dime.

Mexico and save thriving countries in South America are looking more attractive by the day.

So why is the Trudeau government importing over one million people - a population the size of the City of Ottawa - each year. The costs to taxpayers are staggering and the impact on housing and other services such as health care is very significant. The influx of immigrants also drives down wages while increasing the tax burden on cities and the entire nation. Mass immigration is like the elephant in the kitchen that everyone sees and hears but no one wants to talk about because of social conditioning on what subjects are verboten.

I bought the home that is my current residence in 2019. It was a foreclosure and a victim of the sub-prime market when it was built in 2006. I payed about 100k less than when the house was constructed 13 years prior. Now, based on the crazy market conditions that evolved a year ago it is assessed at more than the original owner sale price AND my real estate taxes have gone up 22%. Manipulation on a grand scale! As folks migrate from the liberal sh*t hole Northeast area to South of the Mason Dixon they bring their ideology and high cost of living with them! I'm living the dream.

So now I understand why major investors are buying homes and renting. Their control of policies, through donations to politicians, enable them to drive the rents up. That seems to be the big picture. In my area rent for a modest 3 bedroom home is $2700. Twice what it was before Biden.

It is owned by a rich guy living on 3rd ave in NYC. He has many others, but you won't find that info out there anymore. What is interesting is that the renters are a group of health care workers, 3-4 cars in driveway, leased cars, and they are all in their early to mid 30's. They are inundated with debt. They will never own anything the way they are voting. Yes they are Liberal Dems. I just don't understand them.
