Best way in the sense that the money will not be dependent on a single source but multiple sources.
We should have federally owned, provincially owned, municipally owned, pensions funds-owned, and non-profit owned housing. Having a large number of non-market housing from many different sources is the best way to move towards the Vienna model.
Corporations couldn't own anything that isn't an apartment building
Bingo. REITs are a major factor behind rising housing prices, but a lot of the expensive housing these days are due to the high cost of rent at apartment buildings, so allowing them to own apartment buildings would still be an issue.
What's happening with this funding is that your boss heard you had trouble paying for your bills, so they asked for a bigger budget, and used the extra money to move the office to a nicer building, buy better screens and chairs in the new office, but does not increase your salary.
Non, j'veux que François vienne dans ma maison pis qu'il fasse ça lui même.
If you mean the announcement gives the "perception" that soldiers are being helped when in reality it will be given to private companies then yeah it makes sense
The announcement doesn't mention anything about a better salary for military, or about better mental health support after discharge or better pension. The military budget increase will be to build arctic bases and upgrade submarines. How exactly does that help the actual soldiers?
Very interesting! Seasonality is interesting, I assumed construction could still happen in winter, but higher cost definitely makes sense in terms of effectively reducing it to a minimum level.
Sad that economy plays a big role in terms of essentially laying off a lot of workers (forcing some to quit the industry). I wonder if that also applies to the manufacturing and car industry too
Thats interesting, wasn't aware of the cyclical nature! I thought that construction happens all year round? Or is it due to poor staffing?
Alright, it's funny how a similar post on investing in public compute for AI got comments on "what about housing" upvoted to the top, while this comment gets downvoted with very little "discussions".
Now that it's the military all of a sudden there's nothing to criticize, guess it's a good investment that will not end up in the pocket of the military?
Again, not saying the military shouldn't be getting that money; clearly arctic defense is not off the table with how Russia has been acting. What I'm saying is how differently people here react to doing something crucial like building a national AI strategy that could hedge against private-held automation technology, vs spending on the military to potentially defend against Russians.
Yes, housing needs more money (and better planning), but so does public AI infrastructure (used to benefit Canadians) and military.
Why are we not training more construction workers? Do they expect the immigration growth will bring the houses with them?
Ssh behind a wire guard VPN server is technically more secure if you don't have a key-only login, but a pain if the container goes down or if you need to access the server without access to wireguards VPN client on your device.
