The head of PM #Carney's new housing agency is former #Toronto Deputy Mayor and failed mayoral candidate Ana Bailao.
Bailao also did a stint for one of Toronto's larger slumlords the target of rent strikes by the York South Weston Tenants Union.
Affordable housing? Nah. A grift for developers? Absolutely.

Disappointed in my Assemblymember Damon Connolly for voting NO on #SB79, but thrilled it nonetheless passed 41-17.
GREAT NEWS for housing, transit, and environment in California! https://cayimby.org/legislation/sb-79/

Condominium associations, which typically have held money for building repairs in bank accounts, have started to invest in bonds to keep pace with inflation amid rising repair costs. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/11/condo-associations-buying-bonds/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #inflation #housing #bonds

This is unacceptable. No person should be without a warm, dry, secure home. Especially in a country perfectly capable of building luxury homes for rich people's cars.
But when people working full-time are homeless, it's undeniable that NZ capitalism has reached USSR-in-1990 levels of broken.

You may be shocked to learn that providing people housing is a great way to fight issues surrounding the unhoused. In Denver, the number of encampments of more than 20 people dropped 98% thanks largely* to the new initiative.
"They have a door that they can lock. They have air conditioner in the summer, heaters in the winter. They have a place where they can receive their mail," Chandler said. "Really, an opportunity to start rebuilding their lives."

Exploratory toot:
Adjacent to #turtleBower planning locally, people from other areas are also starting to scheme collective/shared housing. Co-living for lil niche groups like spoonies or neurodivergents.
I wonder about a #getFediHoused tag or something as a marketplace for folks looking to start something up, or find roommates, share resources, find local connections, etc.
Chime in if you have ideas!

The "Third Way" between extracting rents from others and having rents extracted from you is also known as usufruct, and has been a concept in property law for more than 2000 years. #Housing#Cooperative

Request for support: Looking for a home in Rotterdam! 🛏️
I will be studying here (at @xpub) for the next two years, but I found nothing after five months of searches.
I am privileged enough to have many friends and couches where to crush, but I am extremely tired and frustrated because I don’t have any stable nor long-term housing. 😩
(If necessary, I am considering also Delft and Den Haag)
Here’s my introduction. Could you help me spread the word? 🌻
