Yeah, to me the fact that owning an managing homes of people who cant afford their own a business is sickening. Exemplified by REIT’s(Realistate Investment Trust - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_estate_investment_trust), and other invesment porducts. I was lucky cause my parents lived else ware however the idea that housing is a commonity has made owning it a profitable play for those with a lot of money. (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/investors-in-ontario-real-estate-market-1.6258199) old article but Im sure it hasnt got better. I dont beleive the answer to the housing/medical/cost of living crisis is even hard to solve make the rich pay their share into social/ infistructure programs, period that simple. Anyway rant over, I hope things get better however they will never get better without people discussing how distopian they are first. And then doing something, one day and one action at a time. My mother beleives things will just get better and “dont stick your neck out youll be alone”, I believe every movement and progression in himan history has started with 1 person and grown. I am not saying I am that 1 person, I believe I am not but if I had to be I would be. (Says rants over continues to rant)
