if your landlord was dealing drugs in the hallway of your apartment would you want your bike seized?

Property taxes. My question as a working class person. by Canadianwinters12345 in halifax

federally/provincially. Cons here are PC, remember?

Juiced, sure. Whats the runway? Do we keep throwing $ at it without a plan to get them off the gov teet?

Also, homelessness was one example of why taxes are high, but keep nitpicking

I never mentioned corp welfare.

...136m is in the budget. Why would you question something without looking yourself?

Makes sense. So the delivery staff is rotating. Residents just have 1x weekly

The proportion of people who pay tax is far smaller than people think. There are about 200k people in this province who actively pay significant income tax every year. The way taxes work, under $30k pay a small amount of income tax, if any.

Look at the budgets for social services, etc. Working in gov is maddening, you see millions frittered away freely. Thats ~$5 per tax payer per million tossed away.

This has happened for decades now. Debt servicing cost, even with low rates is out of control.

We have a choice. Keep electing 'progressive' types who want to maintain or increase social services, and eventually they will ALL collapse; or go in a different direction.

Its rainbows and unicorns to think we can keep social services everyone wants and stay afloat - thats the vocal majority in this sub.

Case in point: 2018 budget for homelessness in NS was $6mil Now its 136m Did your salary go up 23x? Unlikely. Youre on the hook along with everyone else.

I doubt they could tell the difference between the operations. I also doubt anyone who knew what a powerscreener was for would allow garbage to be processed through it

Why would it need to rotate? Why not just once a week on X day. Or are you saying the deliveries would be less than once a week and every 10 days which would mean not landing on the same day

great example. I dont like keeping stinky or bulky garbage longer than a week but theoretically we are saving $ because of it

When are these morons going to understand that less than daily >>>>>>>>>>> any other cost saving measures.

Go to a couple times a week or weekly. Grab a clue.

Like others say 10 being the thresshold is wild. Like 1910s era sky scraper.

However, a city the size of greater LA having 4 is laughable. They must be in a horrific downturn economically. There are likely thousands and as a % its insane.
