RandAlThor@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Financial firms are driving up rent in Toronto — and targeting the most vulnerable tenants3·19 小时前Immigration is a factor. Governments (note the S) lack of planning and strategy around it, leaving it to the invisible hand of “market forces” hasn’t worked. Even without immigration social trends alone would have dictated higher housing demand as more people are staying single or getting divorced and living on their own. This era of artificially low interest rates and being awash in excessive liquidity for prolonged periods due to various “financial” crises is a much bigger factor in this by creating this prolonged housing bubble. Housing shortages aren’t just local. It’s global. The world’s population has always been growing. There’s always been immigration. The reason we have governments is properly manage and plan for these things. It’s been a failure at every single level - local, municipal, provincial, and federal.

RandAlThor@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Financial firms are driving up rent in Toronto — and targeting the most vulnerable tenants31·22 小时前There is nothing wrong with “demand”. It is essential to economic growth. Market forces, and governments are the ones failing here.
Of course, automatic gold for US. I imagine this will be the game for a lot of receivers and DBs. Long arms quickness speed, etc. Seahawks legion of boom type.

Yes the title. that’s about it. 1st half was looking decent till the last 4 minutes when OKC went on a run. And the wheels fell off Denver.

RandAlThor@lemmy.caOPMto Myanmar or Burma@lemmy.ca•First fault rupture ever filmed: M7.9 surface rupture filmed near Thazi, Myanmar7·7 天前There’s a Burmese word for this - “katsight” (probably a bad spelling of it). It denotes an era of bad kings war strife disasters and diseases. They sort of expect these things, accept the era for what it is, that it must be endured, and survived. Acceptance doesn’t mean kowtowing to the junta, as there is rebellion all over the country.
This was legit one of the BEST conference finals I’ve seen in a long time.
