You would hope that it would be diluted by each raindrop that brings it back and its distribution over a wide area, but hope isn’t much to go on.

I have no objection to that when considering country responsibilities - just don’t then count it again when the individual buys it.
Yes, but if you are considering Canada carbon you can’t include both everything they sell and everything they import. The earth is a closed system.
If you want to assess Canadas impact you can’t include impacts other countries have- thats their impact and your making Canada response for them. You could, and should, include net exports of fuel.
I disagree - its double counted. Once in Canada, once when actually used.
As per another poster - grumpy featherfluffle
Na, that’s fantail (nz bird). Grumpy little fuckers - they even yell at you and get somehow are also really social with people.
Common poster, always up for a chat.
Id be ok with 3 - live, rent, vacation - because it means you can have a great lifestyle but will them get nailed for being too greedy.
How do we fix it - make it less profitable to be an investor without pushing up the price of building new houses.
capital gains tax
empty property/ land banking tax… and a significant one.
significant taxes on investment properties when multiple are owned. Controversial take - i think no penalties should apply on your second property, and half on the third.
minimum standards and registration of rentals.
and a significant reduction on these if the property was built in the last 10 years.
Yes they could - but they aren’t being used.
Plus, you know, that’s socialism or communism or something else people don’t like for some reason.
So how much money someone can make from a property has no relationship to the decision to build more property?
Really?
It shouldn’t be - but ill tell you right now that no one will be a landlord unless they can make money from it, and people who move out of home at 18 won’t have the money saved to buy straight away.
Make no mistake, I don’t like the housing crisis and its causes either but I know rent caps isn’t how we fix it long term.
People don’t like applying economic theory because it reminds us of the core part of being human - I only care about myself and will act in a way that benefits me. Even altruistic people act as they do because they want to disadvantage themselves to help others and you can’t force them to change.
Rent caps are one of those that sound good in theory - like telling ticketmaster to lower the price of tickets, or 0% unemployment. But doing so just means other things suffer.
Supply/demand is usually micro…
Almost like no one wants to build any because they can’t be invested in and the only people it works for are those who already got one.
You forgot “this is what hard-core Christians believe, this is where it contradicts itself, here are the 10 commandments including love thy neighbor and don’t worship false idols”.
