In the end, I think we agree more than we disagree. Heheh. I also think that rent control that fix a price without any way to increase it are harmful. I'm definitely not willing to maintain any of these. Not sure about rent control and

I'd say the baseline being argued here (being able to keep living where you live) to be considered "aristocracy" is pretty darned low.

So yes, prices will go up, displacing people. You don't need to have 2000$ more in rent per month to be driven out of your neighbourhood. 200$ may be enough. And then, if gentrification, immigration, tourism or any other external &quot

My question still lingers: since housing prices as they are now disincentivize building because of poor profit opportunities, how can removing rent control spell more profit opportunities for private interests without increasing price? If p

And do you think prices have to increase so that you can have an "artifical oversupply" of housing? And I thought you were advocating for free markets, yes, since you talked about "market rate". Sorry for the wrong infer

I understand supply and demand... but it's a really basic theory. My point is: prices will have to increases for supply to increase as well. Saying that increasing supply will keep prices low makes no sense if right now prices are too

Well said.

These are real propositions to solve a real problem. That's the kind of discussion we need to have. A free-er market in itself only won't help urban people keep their roof.

But for supply to expand, prices must go up, right? They can't go down. That is what I'm trying to understand, since a lot of people here imply that "increase in supply will lower prices".

I see. Thank you for the detailed comment. Let's say I accept your phrasing and naming of the problem & solution. Given that one big consequence of managed housing economics is depressed profits, how can "free market" sup

Maximum rates of increase per year is a type of rent control. It is, where I live, based on inflation, tax increases and investment in the building. And you may have "fixed that for me" by rephrasing what I said but you also did n

Goods are not all equals. Housing is not Food. And you did not address the problem. Or maybe you don't think it is a problem. PS: I'm well versed in Austrian economics. But theory, hypotheticals and thought experiments don't

Won't falling prices disincentivize building by lowering possible profits?

Won't lower prices reduce returns to building ownership?

Rent control, as flawed as it may be, aims to solve a real socioeconomic problem: people being driven out of their homes and neighbourhoods by rapidly rising costs. Proponents of a free market solution to this problem point out the disincen

I'm canadian, yes. But a well thought out subsistence allocation won't just "give" everybody 1000$ per month. The majority of people who continue working may/should end up even. I don't see a paid for scheme al

There are so many knee-jerk reactions and hot takes about the really simple idea that people should be assured the means to subsist . The two most entrenched and, dare I say, ridiculous ones being: 1. "No one will ever work anymore!&q

> CSS inevitably becomes a spaghetti soup of states after a while. Not if you lint your CSS with rules preventing these kind of things. The same is true for maintainability. Stylelint is a great tool for that.

Why wouldn't `.button.is-success` be enough? And aren't you already using `success` somewhere else in your component? In JS, maybe?

If you use CSS and HTML together, rationally, you don't have to name any more things than you already have in Tailwind. Naming everything in CSS is a self-inflicted problem that you can easily annihilate with modern though widely suppo

First, sorry for the response delay. I don't know why I didn't see your answer. As for the case in point, in fact, I think CSS can be as fast if not faster. But that's totally for me to prove. Hehe. That's why I'm w

Sorry if I'm being obtuse but I still don't understand. As I see it, the problem was one of SASS code architecture. What do you mean then by "enable debugging symbols"? How does that solve the "chaotic file architec

Well, I'd say yes, we welcomed and considered any proposition made by our team members, junior or not. The CTO makes the final decision. But if it's a good idea, it'll be included in the workflow, yes. Source maps would be a

Thanks for the great reply. Here are my thoughts: In your code example, all that is in :root should be used from project to project. As it is Tailwind. Only values should change. Again, same as Tailwind. So I don't really see a problem
