Unaffordability in Canada’s housing market is pushing nearly a third of would-be buyers to consider co-ownership and other ‘non-traditional’ paths to buy a home, Re/Max says.
Is storming the land by force with a larger group of armed people on the list, or is that too traditional?
Can we stop talking about it and just do it?
No. Storming implies a very large number of people and a high level of risk for each individual. Nothing like that has ever happened in history without extensive organisation beforehand.
If you wanna revolution, you better build up a deep cadre of bureaucrats to manage it. So far, the would-be’s can’t keep a group together for a couple years without splintering. I recommend doing political activism the boring way instead.
Ummmm … hear me out…a boatload of peach snapps…
We should sign a treaty not to first, to try and get their guard down.
“chip in with friends to buy that overpriced firetrap” is about as helpful as the American “don’t by the new iPhone if you want money for healthcare and other riches”.
It’s half “let them eat cake” and half “bootstraps” shit.
It’s let them eat (Corn) Flakes, actually.

I mean, moving everybody into a detached single-family home was kind of dumb and elitist too, when it was pushed for in the first place.
