My friend’s dad has been on the geared to income housing list for four years after working and paying taxes his whole life and another’s mom will be on that list next month too. Another friend has her daughter and grandson on the low income housing list and they both work minimum wage jobs just can’t afford a place. Can they all live there too?!
A few decades ago when I rented I needed first and last month’s rent and proof of tenant insurance. I’d get an eviction threat on my door if my rent was over 24 hours late and had to provide post dated cheques. There were rules that had to be followed and consequences if we didn’t. Too bad it’s not like this anymore. We used to learn responsibility.
It takes hard work and responsibility to own a house or rent. Such as working 3 jobs to get through university and paying student loans back with roommates and living in crappy apartments and trailers. It can be done and must be in some circumstances. It’s not easy but it’s possible for sure. Government handouts shouldn’t be the answer. Try taking responsibility. Cmon.
This is why average people can’t help with the housing crisis. The law is too much in favour of the renters. That’s why corporations are buying houses and renting them out. They can hide behind their lawyers
We would like to participate in the lack of housing by purchasing a house / condo as offering it for reasonable rent but the pendulum has swung too far in the tenant direction to even consider it right now.
Beautiful day today. Nobody working there though. I was just there and parked at the parade. With such a short warm season, these projects should be running sun up to sun down seven days a week and get stuff done!!
