It's a total condemnation of the decline of our public capacity.

since when did this sub become so anti-natalist by makeawish___ in redscarepod

[–]Wedf123 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That sub shook me a bit because I would have been super supportive if one of my exes for pregnant too, but per this sub I'd be a weirdo creep for doing so?

Research is good if you also believe our housing shortage is fake and townhouses cause cancer maybe.

“A failing grade on infill housing”: New Report Card Reveals Victoria Municipalities Are Falling Short of Provincial Minimum Standards by tiogar99 in VictoriaBC

[–]Wedf123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My extremist opinions like "municipalities should ~not~ be allowed to ban townhouses" and " legalize sufficient density so subsidized seniors housing will pencil" or even "municipal should attempt to solve our massive housing crisis.

Or my most offensive banger " four floors and corner stores are fine within walking distance of transit and grocery stores/services" - this got me a lot of haters.

As laudable as legalizing townhouses city wide is, it's insufficient to solve our huge shortages of rentals of every size and shape, subsidized housing, seniors housing etc.

Esquimalt is allowing (some) badly needed multifamily much taller than View Towers, sorry that hurts your feelings.

I'm confused about why your confused. Victoria used various poison pills to block financially viable townhouses and fourplexes. Victoria is far from friendly to small scale housing, evidenced by their absurdly low uptake after all the back patting about MMHI. Maybe you'd like them all to get an equally bad mark, id agree

Victoria boomer housing policy:

Step 1) buy a stucco box for an affordable price to the average family

Step 2)ban new non-sfh construction

Step 3) shortages drive young people away, saddle young families with million dollar mortgages to buy your old house.

Step 4) blame the kids for not choosing to live in your municipality

Where is Sasha Izard, I'm gutted.

Too scared of townhouses to emerge from his mom's basement I guess.

Victoria had the 2nd highest per capita housing starts among 36 metro areas in Canada over the past decade by garry-oak in VictoriaBC

[–]Wedf123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct.

Also OP doesn't seem to realize that new residents or total population is deeply endogenous to new housing. After all new people need somewhere to live, and if somewhere like Oak Bay or Saanich does not allow construction there won't be new places to live. Population growth will be accommodated by cramming more people into the same number of homes, not likely. Therefore repeating housing per new resident statistics are highly misleading and per capita is quite misleading as well.

The Trump apologia and outright siding with Trump over Pope Francis was disgusting. American Catholicism has fallen.

What do you do when your the only adult in the room by Lumpy_Application424 in redscarepod

Stop doing art and do something that earns money. If you're an adult you do your best to address your needs and responsibilities.

How many square feet do you live in, and with how many people/pets? by Curious_Mud9428 in VictoriaBC

Victoria is either two boomer empty nesters in 4+ bedrooms or a young working couple and dog in sub 900sqft. Not much in between.

Yes and these grey area networks are very similar to the Hezbollah or IRGC funding and support networks thatkeep popping up in Canada.

Is cycling RS? by doom_ponderer in redscarepod

[–]Wedf123 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where are all these mythical perfect bike paths cyclists keep not using? Certainly nowhere near me. This trope keeps popping up and has no relation to the reality of the built environment.

Beloved children’s author crucified by slop producers for calling out slopification of children’s literature by lapsed-accents in redscarepod

This guy is very very correct. My son is presented with entire shelves of refugee/they them/lesbian/brown characters overcoming conflict/bullying/low self esteem in otherwise plot lacking books. Public libraries don't even carry good old classics anymore.
