If it's race-based, I wholeheartedly agree. Of course, assessing based on income or socioeconimic status could just become a proxy for race.
To your point on supply and demand, I'd tend to agree as well except that we're facing extremely high immigration rates. Also, keep in mind that these policies actually favour developers. They now get to build fewer homes but make as much money as they otherwise would because the prices have been ballooning that quickly (prices have effectively doubled in five years).
It looks like the most practical approach now is to just leave, but people fleeing doesn't improve the situation.
Warning, bias alert. I'm currently saving for a house, so take this with a grain of salt.
I can't tell if I'm opposed to this, and I'll tell you why. Right now in Ontario, housing prices are absolutely insane. Buying a decent house feels more and more out of reach as the average price of detached homes over 100 km / 70 miles from Toronto are approaching $1 million.
One of the many reasons that prices continue to skyrocket is that investors are renovating and flipping homes or buying and holding homes as investment properties. These people have substantial networth already and obviously have primary residences, but the sum of their efforts are pricing out lower and middle class families. Keep in mind as well that there are significantly fewer houses than there are prospective buying families, so as soon as you add in rich investors buying multiple houses to flip of lease or rent or turn into an AirBnB, the demand so outpaces the supply that prices go up without a ceiling.
A move like what the Dutch government proposes here may prevent the obscene house-hoarding investment culture that we have in Ontario. I can't say for sure, though.
There was a case in Toronto over a decade ago that spawned the "slutwalk" "protests," wherein women marched topless in retaliation for a cop advising them to avoid dark alleys while wearing promiscuous clothing if they didn't want to get raped. I'm pretty sure that event also popularized the term "victim-blaming."
Anyway, that cop was and is right. If you want to minimize harm to yourself, avoid areas where harm is more or most likely to take place. That goes for anyone and any potential crime. Do you walk around in the Baltimore projects juggling diamond rings? Fuck no. Same principle applies to everything... yes, even dat booty, slutwalkers.
It's not "TERF" to be against both tranny coercion and feminist coercion. Feminists are largely responsible for the tranny mess and should suffer for it, but there are plenty of non-feminist men and women who suffer for it too. That's not "TERF," homie.
As you know, subreddit mods are often the ones who lead the charge against problem subs and get them taken down. This is a way for KIA mods to say, "hey leftist mods, look at us, we share common ground with you against spez et al., look how reasonable we are in joining forces with you! Please don't come after us in the future!" That's what this is.
It's symbolic of being unified with the rest of Reddit in a common goal against the administration, despite the KIA subs being black sheep that mainstream Reddit openly shits on for being "far right" etc. and would happily scapegoat or sacrifice. It looks like pandering and dissembling behaviour from a simp bitch.
For sure.
Gender and sex are supposedly different with gender being a social construct. However, if someone chooses a gender identity that doesn't align with their phenotype, you're expected to treat and refer to them as though they're the sex that matches their gender identity, and failing to do so is illegal where I'm from. So in leftist land, gender and sex are simultaneously different and the same. It's a deliberate obfuscation that keeps people uncertain and always walking on eggshells.
I can see that "argument" (aka irrelevant deflection) when it comes to terms like cultural Marxist, but defining "woke" or "communist" in the ways they're used in common parlance is pretty basic. Plus, these people can't even define woman and they demand definitions from us? Lmao.
Yes, it is. Alito is the only dissent. NG, ACB, CT side against Texas but for different reasons than the winning disposition.
