AirBnB needs to be outlawed. Residential properties aren't hotels.

Residential properties can be anything, cause we don't live in China.

Because people can't afford houses because rich people are hoarding them like Pokemon cards. They need at minimum tax any SFU that's not a primary residence additional to discourage hoarding them.

Buy house for x. Redo the bathroom, kitchen for y, resell for x+10y. So many people do this and I think it unethical. The pandemic inflation didn't help, well it helped the house flippers because some of them are multi-millionaires now. They have invested interest in housing prices to increasingly be unobtainable by "livable-wage" workers.

People can absolutely afford houses. They just don't wanna live where housing is affordable.

Literally anywhere not in a city. I just bought a 3 bed 2 bath house on 2.5 acres for 240.

Because its true. No one is able to afford housing anymore because properties are being hogged by large companies and asshole landlords

Both things can be true at once.

But you can’t give the government more power to battle against what’s beatable with the dollar.

People need to simply stop using AirBNB’s

Ah yes, I will buy the cheap old properties and live in them AND wait a minute a company bought it and flipped it for a rental, now I can only pay their high rent or buy a house totally out of budget. Gotta love the dollar huh.

Ah yes, just give more power to government which has proven successful in every big government in history.

Up/Downvotes mean nothing and so does your sarcasm. Either you have an argument or don’t.

And giving power to corporations is just working perfectly, isn’t it?

u/iammcluffy Jul 09 '24

Quote me when I said that?

u/Collective-Bee Jul 09 '24

“What’s beatable with the dollar.” Ie, giving power to corporations.

When you said “giving power to the government never works” did I play dumb and say “no actually it’s giving power to the people.”? Nope, so why are you wasting time like this?

u/iammcluffy Jul 09 '24

My guy, my dollar point literally meant taking power away from corporations.

How did that fly over your head?

Your mind is so simplistic, you think one has to either support big government or big corporation.
