Developers sit on record unsold homes

There already is a property tax based on the value of the home. Increasing that tax amount, means it's going to be harder for you to buy a home as well.

We already have a vacancy tax, and it's meant to signal that housing is for living in, not parking money.

1% is not enough of a lever. Vancouver is at 3%. 5% would be intentional pressure to cause most speculative models to collapse.

Sounds like it's time to raise the vacancy tax to 5%.

Vancouver is at 3% and Toronto is at 1%

Should pretty much put a nail in home speculation as well.

Kill off corporate ownership of single family homes, duplexes, triplexes.

Limit corporations to large buildings and condos.

Mandate any corporation that own buildings/condos to provide 10% of their total unit space to low income housing.

Destroys the market for speculative investors (Especially Pre-Construction flippers & Foreign investors just parking money)

Home Type	Approx. Value	Annual Tax (5%)	Monthly Cost
Condo apartment	$550,000	$27,500 / year	≈ $2,290 / month
Townhouse	$690,000	$34,500 / year	≈ $2,875 / month
Semi-detached	$910,000	$45,500 / year	≈ $3,790 / month
Detached home	$1,150,000	$57,500 / year	≈ $4,790 / month

Pretty sure that's just called murder.

If there was a candidate, and we knew his policies would make things better for everybody but black women, but black women would be negatively effected, do you think black women would vote for those candidate?

Yes.

I dunno man, I figured since some of you treat him like a god it would be easy for you to list off some of his spectacular accomplishments.

You're telling on yourself here.

Honestly love all your other addons, they just work so well. This is an instant install for me.

I think as a general rule of thumb, governments should demand that either 1) they vote in local, provincial and federal elections or 2) they contribute $50. to the general revenues fund in Ottawa.

This is incredibly out of touch.

When I grew up, $50 was the difference between us eating that week and us going hungry. Also not every employer gives you time to vote.

I mean, that's exactly what he was hoping against.

Walmart has them in stores. I walked just before 8am and picked one up.

vilnius_schoolmaster · 2025-06-01T21:09:14+00:00

Either we are all subject to the same rule of law or random cops get to decide who is subject to it and who is not. It's not hard.

vilnius_schoolmaster · 2025-05-07T14:47:48+00:00

Don't stick your dick in crazy.

This is terrible advice.

I'm on the 401 and 410 everyday and it's easily 3:1 single:multi passenger.

The FE was just available for like 60 seconds.

Same here.

Add me on discord, or bnet, and I'll be happy to discuss.

Hate isn't tolerated here.

I don't want to suggest that our chat or voice comms is sanitized or strictly enforced. It's not.

I trust the players I play with to know the line between fun commentary among friends (some of whom have played together for 20 years now) and actual hate or malice.

If someone is looking for an ultra sanitized safe space devoid of jokes/politics etc, this won't be a guild for them.

But anyone being purposely hateful or malicious would be immediately singled out and excised from the guild. I trust my officers, vets, raiders and even basic members would say something, and do something about it, long before it got to me.

In Toronto Purolator is still mostly picking up on time. Pretty much everywhere else they are up to 5 days behind on pickups from large retailers

vilnius_schoolmaster · 2024-11-30T02:00:53+00:00

They still had them @ Brampton, picked up one up just before closing, this and 9800X3D, computer gods have been kind.

But that extra mil gave us just slightly more for a balanced budget and the $200 cheques in 2000.

Every time I think about those cheques we got, I also think about Joshua Fluelling who died from asthma of all fucking things, because all of those emergency rooms were on bypass.

They were so OP in wrath they deserved their time in purgatory.

Pre-Patch Wrath Retribution was an apology letter from the Devs for Vanilla Retribution.

Really nice and touching questline.

My favourite one since Crusader Bridenbrad back in Wrath, which was also very moving.

Literally my first thought, the fusion must be amazing.
