Then youre miss informed about where our housing supply is going and who's driving up rent. Here it is predominantly private landlords.
It's so wild. I vacationed in Northern England, about an hour south of Scotland, in Tynemouth, and our whole family found the offshore turbines to be magical.
There's ruins of like a massive 4-6 story monastery from the 15th century, and it's wild because the remnants of the one wall, are the tallest thing in town, and have been for centuries. There's literally paintings and drawings going back centuries showing it, and centuries and centuries of people living in the shadow of this partial massive monument that no longer exists.
It's super interesting, but there's also something kind of inherently scary and depressing about feeling like you're seeing ancient remnants of some massive great thing that can no longer be done.
But then at a foggy sunset we saw the off shore turbines it was genuinely uplifting and magical in a solar punk way. Just the blades peaked out of the fog, and similar to the monastery ruins, they looked too big to be created by humans, but these were actually still working. It felt like it was providing a glimpse into our future massive endeavours, and was one of the most magical moments of the whole trip.

America is not the only place in the world. In places without mass corporate landlords, private landlords happily fill that void and are absolutely still the problem.
Show me a landlord that genuinely finds efficiencies that arent just 'hire a cheaper contractor than they would hire for their own home'.
This is the first time I've ever actually intentionally saved a comment on Lemmy or Reddit.
No they don't. They've been profiting off of doing no work for decades. They can sell their cottage if that's what it takes for their tenants to have a single reasonable home.
The French Revolution didn't prevent the rise of French billionaires.
You're missing the actual issue at play.
That has literally nothing to do with not believing women, and everything to do with buying into a cult.thagvis not an instance of people not believing women, thats a case of people politically othering those women (or men, or whoever) so much that they would always defend their teammate.
Every non-ideologue believed those women, including conservatives in other countries that aren't in a trump cult.
I'm pretty sure half these articles are issued by the companies themselves just to get people outraged and talking about this, just so that they can test the waters and see how many people will defend it.
You haven't actually proven anything, you've just modelled a possible scenario.
The point is that no publisher demanded anything.
The developers made the game they wanted and launched it and didn't go the way they wanted.

This makes a lot sense, but the obvious question is how do you prevent people from being forced out of their homes, just because the government decides to spend it's money on the military instead of building more cities?
Like right now, if you were to implement that in Toronto, a whole lot of people would be taxed out of their homes so that a developer could buy the land and build denser housing on it.
All the most valuable housing that's near subway lines is already at a relatively ideal density, consisting of townhomes, rowhouses, and semi-detached houses, whereas our suburbs and in-city suburbs are generally not near transit, and thus not nearly as land valuable and not as well suited for density.
It seems like we would end up tearing down all our ideal housing and replacing it with over dense housing, rather than building transit out to the less dense areas where it's needed.
