If working 60 hour weeks or reskilling isn’t your cup of tea, that’s fine but we can’t keep everything the same forever.
- another_story 5y agoI don't think it's fair to put the onus on individual people to move everytime they're priced out of a market, especially a market that has been heavily manipulated to benefit the few via lower interest rates and poor zoning laws. You could see this housing crisis coming from years out and the government did nothing but maintain low rates, block multi-unit zoning changes, and allow the wealthy and foreign investors to buy up housing. The real issue is poor and inept leadership.
