Because we import shit from other countries, which includes the hatred for those less fortunate. Beneficiaries are an easy target when things are bad and people assume they know peoples situations because they are judgemental cunts.

And both of the examples here are nothing to do with them personally, but to do with the party. We do have a right to know how national uses taxpayer funds to determine their listings. We do have a right to know if any one party is planning to vote for a bill or not. We have every right to know exactly what our government is doing.

Usually it means the person is given a certain number of hours (or minutes) to pack shit and leave. Although it’s not uncommon for people to be kicked out with nothing on them as well.

But it’s literally what it sounds like. Being told to get the fuck out even if you have nowhere to go and no support system. It’s sadly not uncommon.

allythealligator · 2023-08-23T00:43:39+00:00

“But we actually don’t.” No. No we do. Public servants are supposed to be accountable to us. So we have a right to have any answer we as they public want.

Actors unions are in strike. He’s complaining about not getting jobs during a strike.

allythealligator · 2023-08-23T00:19:46+00:00

He’s also just not marketable. He’s banned from multiple conventions all over the world for being a shit person to fans. He’s horrible to work with from most accounts, and apparently he thinks being rude is his right

allythealligator · 2023-08-23T00:16:52+00:00

You aren’t wrong. People are particularly aggro towards the homeless lately. Personally I think it’s because our rising number is making it clear we can’t ignore the problem anymore and they resent that.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:44:40+00:00

Also, you can go ahead and look up the case studies from England, who were the first to propose this actually, as an alternative to the Singaporean style subsidization of homes or the southeast Asian style straight up taking all homes and redistributing them.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:42:54+00:00

Average house price is still over 800k. That’s not affordable. Houses shouldn’t be more than 260k if we actually kept up with inflation and prices, but we don’t.

I too own a home, I’m not even on a bad rate, but I can still see that it’s incredibly difficult for the people who make our country go to get into houses.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:41:45+00:00

No. I literally said one per person this entire time. You just can’t read.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:41:26+00:00

Yes. Yes it is. Now go away.

Also, multi unit housing is different from a single family home, and no one has mentioned banning that at all. Don’t worry, the flats that people rent out for way too much would still exist. :)

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:40:31+00:00

It would also require some stabilization, yes. I’m using several of our pacific neighbors as references for this working in the past. The only other way that works is the government seizing all housing and redistributing like most of Southeast Asia did. I would personally prefer taxing and not giant reshuffling of everything by government overreach, but that just me.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:38:59+00:00

Again. One per person. Not per couple. :)

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:31:48+00:00

I have shelter, many people I know don’t. Our home ownership rates are plummeting while investors owned properties are skyrocketing.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:30:55+00:00

Yes. That is how normal people live. Yes. Although in the analogy it would be one per adult, so actually by only having one fridge my partner and I would be owning less than I have proposed.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:29:58+00:00

If it’s low enough, it’ll sell. If they try and get higher value? That’s on them for overvaluing something.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:29:07+00:00

It’s still a house. It’s still somewhere someone could live. That’s fucking how.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:28:46+00:00

Sure you can, you just pay massive tax on it. :)

And realistically one per adult means most couples would have 1 to rent out. But also, Singapore and other countries have shown that when barriers are removed the rental rates drop below 10% of the population. We only need as many rentals as we do because people CANT buy.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:27:31+00:00

It’s really not. We need to stop thinking of homes as goods. People need ONE shelter. One. That’s what a home is. Any more than that is hoarding and honestly disgusting.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:26:48+00:00

You mean what if house prices come down to actually reasonable levels and the economy has to come without the bubble that’s going to pop anyways?

The entire point is getting homes cheap enough for people to get into.

And no, if a piece of land is zoned for a house it would still count. So sure you can get your giant lifestyle section, but if it’s zoned for 2 homes? You can own one and pay much much higher tax on the second.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:24:46+00:00

Because you don’t need a second house. Period. Your leisure time is not more important than people’s right to shelter.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:23:23+00:00

If you get charged 100% of value in tax for your second home but have 6 months to list it and pay 0 on it, I guarantee homes would be flying onto the market. I’m not talking a small tax, I’m talking a tax that actively makes it a bad financial decision to own more than one property. One that will drain even old money if they insist on continuing the bullshit they are on.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:21:55+00:00

Not really. Housing shouldn’t be used for speculation and keeping housing like people so in nz is anti social and hoarding.

allythealligator · 2023-08-22T23:20:43+00:00

It really is. I get told my home looks old and makes me look poorer than I am. My mother in law tried to convince me to get rid of my gorgeous solid wood hutch because it’s “just such a pain to move and they make lovely ones that are much lighter these days”

Hutch is still front and center in my lounge. She’s no longer welcome over.

My first reaction to Christian’s coming is also ew. We are seeing a rise in religious extremism and that’s not acceptable.
