the board members of the various NGOs that pretend to do something about it.
The greediest people in the world hoard wealth; while the most generous have none.
These videos helped me convince my friends to care about "boring" issues like zoning and land use. Keep the good work up!
70 (50 after tax) isn't even enough to pay rent on in Toronto if you have student loans... This shit is wild.
Look to highly corrupt countries as to WHY you want to pay your public sector employees well. "Tourist tax, 3000 peso, cash only!"
Theres no one single issue, but all of the above happening at once AND a population boom at the same time to top it off. We need an all-of-the-above approach to fix it too. Remove zoning restrictions, make lending for multiplexes easier, build public housing as fast and as much as possible, and found new towns... to name a few.
can we please throw in banning blue LED headlamps too?
They want to hire people who can make 400k a year in the valley for 18k a year in a hostile work environment with zero benefits and a non-optional fitness plan... and they want these people to be computer nerds? Good luck!
Um, yeah, thats what happens when you lay off entire planning departments; up-jurisdict the decisions, and make them political footballs. Each team is going to go as far in their direction as they can and nothing will ever get done. We need a robust infrastructure commission with a healthy budget and mandate, free from political influence.
My parents 100yr old house is fully plumbed for gas (water, furnace, stove, fireplace), and a conversion would be financial insanity. They WANT to build a multiplex to have 4 units so they can stay on the main floor + rent out 3 to pay their retirement, but THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO.
