I have one across from my apartment and my work, sadly no dog.

Some people have dogs that don't get along with other dogs. She said she also wanted to do a "summer workout." Maybe she just wants a quiet, private green space, and it's not just about avoiding dirty poors.

We had to leave our rent-controlled apartment in exchange for a five-figure settlement (just barely). I felt bad about it, but months later everyone was renovicted anyway for a quarter of what we received.

Until self-driving cars are allowed to go through the city streets without a driver, there's no way these companies would make a profit. What I don't understand is why investors are throwing money at this industry when they're 10-15 years away from making a profit. They have no real business model and it's just an investor Ponzi scheme that looks like it works because it exploits the workers so much.

The housing and rent situation in the major cities in this country is so fucked. I know people claim rent control will help but my understanding is that the one thing you can get economists to agree on is that rent control doesn't help, so yeah. Obviously the tech bros in SF want everything to be automated so they can avoid the poors but that isn't close to being a reality. It's all so untenable with no real solution in sight.

Quote

Wages for men were hit particularly hard, especially in cities that bore the brunt of the decline in manufacturing jobs, such as Toronto, Oshawa and Windsor. Between 2000 and 2015, men’s wages were flat or in decline in those cities

Note: during that time, the price of a detached home roughly tripled in Toronto.

If wages are flat/declining for men and mostly the same for women, why is the bidding going up on housing? Speculators?

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #2157 on:** January 20, 2020, 06:43:23 PM »

Foreign investors are not constrained by local wages.
Wages have gone up for the rich, many of whom own investment properties in addition to their primary residences.
Interest rates are low.
Tens of thousands come into the city and an equal amount of supply is not and cannot be built (in the case is detached housing). What is being built is shitty one-bedroom condos unsuitable for family formation.
Baby-boomers are not downgrading at the same rate as previous generations.
Purpose built rental units haven’t been built much since the 1970s (economists would point to modern rent control laws from 1975).
Canada is a great place to launder money.

I honestly don't trust economists on rent control.

They have this assumption that the state can only do rent control instead of rent control in conjunction with building high density housing, investigating / prosecuting international money laundering, expropriating slumlords or absentee landlords, et cetera. It's unlikely to be a panacea on its own, at least after decades of neglect.

tbf to the court philosophers that is the likely outcome when so much subnational political power has been captured by developers and (in Anglo North America) the voting bloc that arose from postwar policies.

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but why must policy A be combined with policies B, C, and D, which are not logically connected (D is somewhat logically connected I suppose), to discover whether enacting policy A creates shortages of affordable housing?
I imagine if an economist is going to do an empirical study on rent control, then that's the variable they're going to look at.
