I’m not sure rural America and rural Australia are that close.

Even bum fuck nowhere Australia is quite diverse in people and have information about other countries and travel to the big cities fairly regularly. Both seemed to have great friendly people though.

Also the most dangerous sketchy places are in the outback, though some of the towns are fine, whereas in America it seems to be in specific cities or parts of cities, and others are fine.

Oh yea. Thanks for the info

Is it ever faster to drift around a corner?

Because when I was a kid playing burnout I thought it was always faster to drift around the corner. But replaying it now heavy breaking and accelerating through the curve is faster.

They system that allows for it is broken not the people doing it.

This is what people fail to understand, you think banning people from owning multiple houses or rent control will magically fix the issue. It won’t, it will just make things a lot worse for the renter and for the first time buyer. Life isn’t that easy. You can’t just “solve” an issue you really don’t understand by making simple laws.

I’m not a neoliberal.

Just because you stupid idea is stupid doesn’t mean I’m a neoliberal. It’s just a terrible idea.

No.

Anyone with a spare room won’t rent. Why would a 25 year old rent out a room in a 2 bed if they thinking of starting a family or upgrading in 5 years? Why would a old couple rent out a room if they want to leave it to their children.

Even family homes. Maybe it’s in a good area and in 5-10 years the land can be turned into more profitable high density but seeing as you can’t throw people out of they homes it will make more sense to leave it vacant or knock it down.

It would massively reduce the supply of housing.

Equally no one would bother building housing at all, it wouldn’t financially make sense. It’s not like they have to spend money in Toronto they would just spend it elsewhere.

Not going to happen. Its not a bubble if demand increases more than supply. Even if the bubble bursts don’t expect much.

Go look at the bursting bubble in 2008 and look at how longnit took for prices to return then exceed 2008 prices.

Demand needs to decrease or supply needs to increase, or both.

Making it harder to lease will reduce the amount of housing available on the market and will futher reduce the supply.

That’s completely ridiculous.

Rules like that would negatively impact the renter because no one would lease.

I’ve never met an online community as economically illiterate as lemmy. This is not how the real world works, you can’t just will things to work a certain way. Rules like that would be a disaster.

Contracts should be long enough to offer stability. Fix the laws then.

Toronto issue is the public transport is terrible. Needs more rail to high density hubs around the city. But the real issue is the ridiculous immigration levels 20 percent of Canada is Immigrants. Of course all that’s going to happen is it will keep houses increasing in prices and keep wages down.

Good for businesses and land owners bad for the everyday Canadian.

So people should be able to live in someone’s house indefinitely?

Rent control is stupid.

“Rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city – except for bombing,” Swedish economist Assar Lindbeck

It would be great if there was mens clubs to just hang out, drink, talk, play games things like that. In fact there was and they were HUGE but men aren’t allowed them now.

It would be great if boys could have that. Almost like a girls scouts but for boys.

This is it.

Men underperform in things like education and work.

Who gets all the help? Women.

There is so much toxic feminism that doesn’t get attention. A male only shelter got shut down by me because the feminists protested so much until it got shut down.

Women get told they need there own spaces for mental health, women’s issues, to have women’s chat.

Men aren’t allowed those things. They are told they never open up, they are toxic they shouldn’t be acting x,y,z and they should be more like girls.

What you are saying is when all thr fallout occurs then they get help. You are fixing a problem when their could be a solution before it becomes a problem.

The only places I have been close to that are “toxic” male places. All boys clubs, drinking clubs, rugby clubs.

But women see them as toxic and label then like that. But if you talk to them you get more toxic than from these clubs they aren’t a part of that tell you how horrible they are.
