George Santos pocketing 3k of donations intended to help a dying dog is the most cartoonishly evil thing I’ve heard of a politician doing in years. Like it can’t be true because for it to be true he would have to inhuman.

fuckin doug ass ford going through with opening up for-profit clinics (after decades of conservatives underfunding the healthcare system) and opening up a large swath of protected green space that rings the suburbs, and is home to a number of sensitive wetlands and farm land, all in the name of "build more homes" which will have literally no effect on home prices. literal cartoon villain shit and his base loves it. mad as hell. there's a lotta people who will call you a nimby for not supporting all new constructions, many of whom even claim to be leftists. It's not simple supply and demand economics when there's this amount of capital involved, and I don't know why so many people claim not to understand that just because there's new stock, doesn't mean the old stock goes down in price because real estate firms treat it as an investment commodity. Therefore, even the old stock always goes up in price when new stock is built. One hand washes the other.

To dismiss the role of housing supply in terms of affordability is pretty asinine. If more people want to live somewhere than the current housing stock can handle, then housing prices go up. Full stop. Monopoly power in the rental market is making things worse but even if we dealt with that the problem of lack of housing still remains. Maybe you could rezone empty office buildings into housing, but nimby’s are gonna throw a tantrum over that too.
As far as using protected wetlands to increase housing supply, that seems dumb unless there’s no way to increase density in the rest of the city or other empty space that wasn’t protected.
And what’s the big deal about privatized healthcare? A lot of those great “socialist” systems in Europe have private sector healthcare options to supplement the public service. Is it the way Ford is doing it or do people think the existence of any profit seeking entity in healthcare to be a cardinal sin?

I love that Rs collectively shit all of their own beds with warren and her Native American bullshit, but are just straight up ignoring this Santos craziness. They’ll call her Pocahontas and use it to their advantage to attack, but then let santos create a distraction while they fuck around in the background. Republicans are absolutely incredible at misdirection. They have ZERO standards. The last time they pretended to have a fraction of standard led Bush to an 18% approval. |

Is it the way Ford is doing it or do people think the existence of any profit seeking entity in healthcare to be a cardinal sin? The major points are that, one, yeah, the issue of "we need to build here or no new homes can happen" is artificial. It's the laziest possible way of addressing the issue of not enough homes. Everything from huge amounts of foreign investments (only recently addressed by raising the tax on that by a small amount), horrendously desighned low-density suburbs, atrocious public transit driving the need for vehicle access, zoning laws making it essentially impossible to build anything other than single family dwellings, etc etc. This is far from a case of "we gave it a go, it didn't work so now we gotta pave over the farms and marshes". Of course, there's a bigger, deeper issue there that much of this is the result of these places acting as feeder towns for the city of Toronto which, afaik has to be one of the lowest density metropolises on the planet. There's certainly something awesome about owning a detached, single family home with a garage and yard while being within walking distance of where the Blue Jays and Raptors play, but there's also something wrong with that from an urban design standpoint. Of course none of the new developments will be "progressive" or whatever buzzword describes much smarter, longer lasting, relatively future proof, higher density, mixed use and transit accessible suburbs which should be the way of the future. They'll be the same wasteful culs-de-sac built all over North America. As far as the private healthcare issue goes, it's not an issue with private healthcare itself. That's simply a means to an end, and if fewer people clogging up public emergency rooms family doctors were the result, that would be fantastic. It's not however, the result of the Conservative government throwing its hands up and going "This is the breaking point, we don't have the money, we can't afford the facilities, it's privatize or no one will ever see a doctor again because it's just that bad", it's the result of decades of conservative mismanagement, underfunding and antagonizing of the public sector, only for them to go "See, we told you this doesn't work" when it starts to topple. If conservative governments for the past 30 years had demonstrated that they gave a single shit about preserving (and improving) public healthcare, or more importantly, had given a single shit about making sure that every Ontarian had the opportunity for barrier free, cost free, world class healthcare, then it would be easier to accept their designs for doing so. I've always seen the utility in some kind of mixed system, but the people who have been taking a shit all over the public sector and trying to strangle it to death for decades aren't the ones who are going to do that. |

To lower housing prices what you gotta do is an economics (build single family detached McMansions on environmentally protected lands so some shithead real estate developers can get rich).
I am very smart!
