Is it literally the case that they just don't give a goddamn about climate change and they're just going to get theirs while they can and to hell with everything else?
Yup, that's my understanding. They probably aren't full on deniers, they know it's real, they just don't want to do the hard work and take the pay cuts that will progress us forward into the future.
I like mine cause it stood my pillows from falling if the bed gets pushed or slightly, it's also padded so when u was depressed and spending 18 hours a day on bed it was nice to sit against.
I wouldn't be opposed to not having one though. As others have said, it kind of depends on the style you're going for.
Public servant here, the city I live in isn't hiring and when they do it's extremely competitive, think 150+ applications for one position. The city I work for is an hour away and I've been doing the drive for two years. I can't move closer due to lack of rentals and what is available is too expensive (I saw a 2br for 3100 this morning) and they won't rent to me because of pets (why bother when there is someone without pets who is willing to pay 60% of their salary, less risk for your "investment"). Can't buy because I can't afford 600k for a starter home with how crazy interest rates are right now I would be looking at a 3k/month mortgage.
I could try adjacent work closer to home, but there isn't much and it would be a pay cut even accounting for gas. Also no viable transit option available unless I want to leave my house at 5 and get home at 7.
So far I've been able to get 1 wfh day, 2 or 3 would be nice but I need to be in office to deal with the public.
Where I live on Vancouver Island (not Vic) rent has increased about 2 to 3 times in ten years. Housing prices, from what I've seen on bc assessment, is on par. Something assessed at 250k in 2013 is now assessed at 600 to 700k.
Looking at rentals this morning, 2br are anywhere from 1500 to as high as 3100.
I never got this, was it supposed to be Nelson sitting there instead of Ralph, did they mess up the names in the script or something, was it some meme from a movie that I don't know about?
Develop the rail corridor and build the hell out of the adjacent land. We don't need more roads and bypasses on the island we need viable alternate forms of transportation.
BC it's now considered the "gold standard" for regulating short term rentals.
BC assessment gives you a nice 10 year graph of assessed values when you click on a property. From what I've seen it's about a 2x to 3x increase over the last 10 years, in my region at least.
I clicked on a random property, but this is typical for my whole city.
