Aaah my bad. I must have missed that rule; I can take the post down. This is page 53, so there's a bunch of back story on the website. Thanks for the explanation!

If you throw something plastic in the ocean and doesn't come back, it will never poison you. Chances are it will come back though.
This is the cartoon from last week; was moving so I didn't have a chance to post, but here we are now!

This week's vignette. Used some Mexican actors from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema as reference for the poster; let me know if you can tell who!
Or reuse some already-built housing. Large condo buildings cause gentrification; buy a portion of the units and make them affordable housing, below or non-market units. You save yourself the trouble and the building expenses, you can still raise taxes on 'land-owners' and you house people in dire need of housing. You also revitalize and degentrify areas. A lot of condos are owned as second-homes that are rented out, so the owners wont be unhoused. If they are concerned about loss of income, we all get together, push for raising taxes on the richest and on corporations and implement universal basic income.
(As an aside, a lot of buildings not-intended for housing that are not occupied can be repurposed as housing. We just need political will).
Yes, it honestly does seem like an appropriate reaction at this point. Certainly wouldn't hurt.

It's not even about panic-building, just making it easier from a legislative point of view to get them done. Offer incentives and grants. The simplest more straightforward solution would be that there was a percentage of units in every new building destined for non-market, and slowly 'convert' units to non-market units in older buildings too.
EDIT: Aware that 'simplest more straightforward' has a very armchair-expert ring to it. I meant it in a 'this is a legitimate proposal they have the power to push and achieve' kind of way.
What's hard to understand is why they keep on pushing "affordable housing" that no one can afford.
More non-market rentals and co-op housing is sorely needed. What exactly is stopping him from making this a reality in the province?
EDIT: Someone should send him Ricardo Tranjan's "The Tenant Class". Excellent read.
Apologies, I missed the rule about full story only. The rest is on the website; I'll be taking this crosspost down. Thanks!
