  1. I hope property investors, advisers can go in there, help these folk finance a home or find them better solutions.

  2. ‘We’ voted for inflationary government policy. ‘We’ should learn to kick back and relax. ‘We’ got what ‘we’ wanted.

  3. If we live like this how are our neighbor up north survive with higher house price and interest rate with lower income?

  6. But the stock market is at record highs and umployment at record lows. Nothing to see here.

  7. I have mixed feelings because we do need safe lots, but it’s very depressing that we need them.

  8. Pay no attention to rising prices on just about everything, rampant unreported unemployment and more people living on the streets, the economy’s doing just fine. 😅

  10. Here’s a new law I propose:
    Every politician has to work one week a month at a homeless shelter.

  11. I went down the Reddit rabbit hole of subreddits dedicated to car living. It’s so weird living in a time where people’s way of coping housing insecurity is to treat living in your car as a lifestyle. It’s basically van life people but more sad.

  13. This is pretty sad. Imo.

    344-1 for CEO to worked pay.

    Sep 22- Sep 23 $787 Billion in share buybacks.

    Like wtf are we doing here , people?

  14. When prices go up due to inflation, and the minimum wage is pushed up making more and more people legally unemployable this will happen more and more.

  15. Find a 24/7 office space you can rent preferably one that comes with a gym shower, rent can be 50% less than what’s you pay for a downtown big city apartment.

    I was considering doing this for a while until I decided to get a 2nd WFH job and now I work 70-80hrs/wk to afford a studio apartment.

  16. More Trumpers spreading lies about the economy, hoping that Trump can steal the election again.

    You Trumpers got away with stealing the election from Hillary, but now we know your tricks. You will NEVER, EVER steal an election again.

    You were SMASHED last time because you are all losers. Biden created the greatest economy in world history, so get over it.

    We’re now going to remove your orange man from the ballots so you can’t even vote for him. You’ll never win an election in this country again, might as well packup and move to another country… Maybe try Argentina, LOL.

  17. So what happens when someone decides there is money to be made in “safe lots” and starts charging rent? How long before that rent starts going up?
