@AminCad@lemire It's a peculiar tragedy of the commons, where for every individual software vendor the sane thing is to optimize for in-house productivity, not for the end user's laptop performance / battery life / etc.
@HelsinkiKymp Voisiko parkkipaikasta lohkaista muutaman sentin jalkakäytäväksi Ruskeasuolla? Tässä siis menee sekä jalankulku että pyöräliikenne metrin rännissä, ja vieressä on parkkikentäksi varattuna metritolkulla tilaa
@avarnsecurityFI edustaa. Etummainen on ollut tuossa parkissa ainakin puoli tuntia, takimmainen oli ilmestynyt jossain vaiheessa seuraksi. Kumpikin parkissa ilman kuljettajaa, laillisia parkkipaikkoja olisi ollut tien toisella puolella
@iinapalo Nämä samat öyhöt käyttivät edellisestä hallituksesta hupakkohallituksen ja huulipunahallituksen kaltaisia nimityksiä. Aivan toivotonta porukkaa
@CTVVancouver The lineup for passports is 8 hours and counting. Everyone who’s been here for more than 3 hours got a 80-dollar parking ticket. Injury to insult.
@abstractica@max_is_loud@criticalcarej @serename17 There are 675,000 residents in Vancouver. Census says the average household size is 2.2. So we need about 310,000 homes - preferably a little more as many have roommates out of necessity.
The AirBnBs represent under 1.5% of that. They're a factor, but honestly not the main issue
@TimNorthVan@max_is_loud@criticalcarej @serename17 What _could_ be done is more red tape. What _should_ be done is building enough homes.
Picture from Berlin. The former eastern bloc had many issues, but they did house all of their citizens very effectively.
We could never build this. We choose to have homeless over ugly houses
@criticalcarej @serename17 How does "stop people from buying places to rent out" lead to reduced rents?
If there are too many landlords, there should be oversupply of rental apartments -> competition for tenants. But we're still seeing dozens of applicants for every rental
