      As a Canadian about to be homeless due to housing costs, I’ll take it

        I hope you’re white and heterosexual if you’re planning on taking that Idaho home. And not a woman who is capable of bearing children.

          Nah it’s Canada. Regular working people are ending up on the street in droves here due to housing and grocery prices.

          Our government cares more about easy talking points like the dude I’m debating with than actual human needs. But hey at least we can be openly gay while we freeze to death on the street lol

        Well, definitely don’t come to Florida, then. We’re having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.

        I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it’s just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.

          Yeah I would avoid Florida just due to the weather. Much more comfortable freezing to death than of heat.

        Hear you.

        I’m in the U.S.

        I finally bought a house in a horrible county about 10 years ago. I’m 62. I’ll end up living under a freeway overpass.
