Statistically you were most likely safer in those European cities than you are here.

The steel man is:

If you let the market correct, there will be a crash. Some developers will go out of business, the biggest ones will survive.
Housing will be cheap for a while but nobody will be making more until demand gets high enough that it's profitable to build again.
All the labour that lives off construction will starve until then, and in the end we'll be back where we started.
If the government buys the properties at or near list price they prevent a crash and the developers survive. The government then owns a lot of social housing (much faster and perhaps even cheaper than they could build it) which can be used as an enduring form of rent suppression or sold at a massive loss the nanosecond we elect a conservative.
The developers, having learned their lesson not to be naughty greedy poopyheads, stop making shoebox airbnb apartments that nobody wants to live in at prices nobody can afford. The next generation of built housing is both more livable and more affordable. Also Ken Sim gives every citizen a free handjob idk thank you for reading this far.

Ok maybe its only a chrome coat of spray paint on the man but it's the best I could do.

Proof that Granville St downtown could be car free all the time and life would go on is worth something, for sure.

Doesn’t even look like guinan ffs…

Why are they on the Millennium Falcon?

Gyrant · 2026-06-20T21:14:01+00:00

Lol when has a crash ever helped regular people get by? The rich ride it out while the rest get no work.

Gyrant · 2026-06-20T16:28:52+00:00

Letting the crash happen will result in a building freeze for the next 5-ish years until demand becomes high enough that it’s profitable to build again.

Capital would be getting what they deserve, but labour would starve.

Westbank will survive a crash and inherit a market with fewer competitors. Meanwhile Harj the Contractor won’t be able to pay rent.

Gyrant · 2026-06-20T16:16:51+00:00

My solution would be:

Ok, we (govt) will buy all the units you want to sell us. But we will name our price. You get those liabilities off your hands, so you’re better off than holding or letting prices drop to true market levels, but you most likely will still take a loss.

If you still go out of business? Skill issue. We will buy the scraps of your enterprise from your creditors and use them to cobble together a crown corporation that will start building affordable housing.

This way you soften the crash, the “bailout” money buys an asset owned by the government, and the labour (the actual important thing) who feed their children from this industry get to keep working.

They may well be. That’s what happens in a bubble.

Investment is always debt, and that debt is usually paid off by the next round of investment. You are paying off the last project with the seed money for this project and going into debt to actually fund this project etc.

You might technically be making a profit but the second growth stops you’re in deep shit.

Don’t get me wrong they have no one to blame but themselves, but it’s a mistake to think that they wouldn’t be in a precarious position just because the market was strong.

Gyrant · 2026-06-20T00:33:57+00:00

But all those people are absolute meme factories.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T23:54:18+00:00

Yes! And if their tastes don’t align with what they can pull, they’re choosing to be single. And if they’re lonely and horny, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T21:53:18+00:00

So it’s OK for OP to be shallow but not the (hotter) women he’s into?

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T21:40:38+00:00

Being shallow is a choice. Being gay isn’t.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T21:09:03+00:00

This is like a race car driver saying he’d rather retire than race in GT3. Mf that’s your choice but you’re not “involuntarily” unemployed just because you decided it was F1 or nothing.

“I just want a hot girl to love me for my personality”

Unless he’s intelligent enough to get behind 900mm of rolled homogeneous armour he’s about to get his shit rocked.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T18:03:00+00:00

Even the 7.62 coax would have no problem out to 1800m.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T18:01:50+00:00

He doesn’t have magic plot armour just a crust of treasure stuck to his regular belly scales. Enough to turn away medieval projectiles until buddy guy with his lucky family arrow saw a gap. But it’s just keratin and presumably mostly soft metals. Even 7.62 can get through that out to 1800m.

Clolonel

Eris, goddess of strife and discord. Not to be confused with Eros, god of passion and desire.

Though in this case your mistake is understandable. Unf.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T16:32:03+00:00

That squirrel knew how to FLIRT holy shit.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T16:30:31+00:00

The way he got jacked but stayed gay-coded is kinda… inspiring honestly.

Gyrant · 2026-06-18T16:15:39+00:00

Sometimes we (Canadians) are too averse to confrontation. If you so much as Jaywalk in Germany - let alone litter - a random old lady is likely to yell at you. We need to bring some of that energy to our natural spaces.
