    The housing crisis needs to be addressed separately. There is 7 times the amount of housing needed to house the homeless

    There shouldn’t be homeless in Canada at all regardless the income. This Airbnb bullshit breaking cities needs to stop.

      Everyone tunnel visions on airbnb, when in reality the institutional single family rental industry (SFR) is the true evil.

        Many people also say it’s not x but y; however, both are true. It is an equation of multiple variables, some of which will have a greater effect on the outcome, some not so much.

        Both issues need fixing. The point isn’t to win the shit Olympics.

          It’s not about winning, it’s about ensuring a spotlight is on the issue that is growing at an exponential rate and threatens private home ownership for majority of the population.

            There is no spotlight when there’s enough humans to make it ambient. Literally no one is setting a quota on empathy here but you. There is no good excuse to be kicking the legs out from underneath others. You’re making problem solving harder than it should be.
