Why is it Expensive to be Poor?

YouTube

Every time there's some extra € something happens like a crucial piece of equipment breaks and 💥 back to 0.The universe conspires all right! not enough positive thinking? not vision-boarding right? oh,I know: got to wake up even earlier, like Varadkar!

Nothing to do with the 100k+ in rent forked out just at our current address from where we're being evicted btw, no. Nor due to the ever-rising utilities etc. It's all me 😒

The Liberals housing plan:

1. Cut pharmacare
2. No windfall tax on oil & gas
3. No non-market housing targets
4. $1B+ bailout for condo developers who "can't sell at a loss"

Developer losses get socialism.
Everyone else gets capitalism.

This is not a housing policy.
It's a wealth protection policy.

Critics blast government plan to 'bail out' sagging condo sector in B.C.:

"To spend public dollars to bail out the condo market or the private development sector, I think frankly is a misuse of public funds".

"How much of this is really a way of helping out the industry versus, I think, a bailout in terms of bad business decisions by some of these developers?"

Critics slam government plan to 'bail out' sagging condo sector in B.C. | CBC News

A plan by the B.C. government and Ottawa to buy thousands of vacant condo units and turn them into affordable housing is drawing criticism. Some call it a "bail out" for developers.

CBC

The government bails out wealthy developers with your taxes while the NDP wants bureaucrats to be your landlord. We say no to both. It is time to cut the red tape and let a truly free market fix Canada's housing crisis.

Why does praxis feel so dreary – and what can be done about it?

Carney's plan to spend billions on unsold condos in Vancouver is "more about stabilizing the financial sector" & bailing out developers who overbuilt the wrong kind of housing:

"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre hosted his own Vancouver press conference just two days later, advertising it under the title “Stop Liberal Housing Developer Bailouts.” “Normally, the innovative financial tool to turn an overpriced empty condo into an affordable home is for the price to drop … so why not let that happen?” he said."
