I find a billion to be too hard to conceptualize, but the amount becomes more salient when stated in houses. Too bad I can’t just circle on a map $1,000,000,000 worth of property for a better understanding of the total amount.

1B = 1,000 homes = 4,000 people housed
50B = 50,000 homes = 200,000 people housed
20week of this * 200,000 people a week that could be housed = 4,000,000 people that could have be housed


The writer needs AI to pad the words in an article, and the reader needs AI to sum up an article quickly.


We need to have extremely strict recycling laws. i) Packaging should not have lead in it, and should be easy to recycle. ii) Huge fees for anything not sorting their garbage/ recycling.


The youth unemployment rate is so bad.
i)Just create a grade 13 to bring up everyone’s education level.
ii)Make college free.


not living near cities
Fewer cars, more green-space in the countryside, so not a huge worry. Cities should really focus on public transit; it fixes so many problems, no more drinking and driving, freeway congestion, traffic accidents, cost of owning car.


Building an apartment building without parking is dumb. Maybe not have 1 space per unit, maybe have 1 space for every two units. Why does everything have to be one extreme or the other.
Have an apartment building with only 50% of the units having a parking spot, is a really big win for a car centric city. It’s a good way of pushing the ball.
Also working class people that need affordable housing, probably also need a car as they can’t work from home.


Car industry starts just before WWI.
Roaring 1920s. 10 years good.
Bankrupt in the 1930s. 10 years bad.
Good run from 1949 to 1979. 30 years good.
Almost bankrupt again in the early 1980s. 10 shaky.
Dirty 90s, with bailouts. 10 years shaky.
Sputtering along since 2000-2025. 25 shaky.
Equals:
40 good years.
10 bad years.
45 shaky years.
Might as well just boil up a handful of grass from the local park, about the same.


Institutional investors own roughly 2% to 25% of single-family rentals
2% seems like a large number, that is 1 out of every 50 homes. That’s 1 house on every street.
25% just seems insanely large.


Do it! Pass it!


Why not buy a sedan and use a utility trailer?


All trucks and SUV should be forced to be sold with a proper trailer hitch setup, to be considered a truck or SUV. This would encourage people to use utility trailers.
With all his talk about STEM, he’s done nothing to actually help with the teaching of STEM.


I don’t dream of wars, only stupid people do. Stop idolizing war, get a life.


Too many of these gusy move to a rural tourist town, 2hr drive from the city, or move to a mining town…and start to think of themselves as lone libertarian survivalists that hate ‘city-idiots’. There are very few people in Canada that actually live remotely or in the bush off-grid. Most of these guys have no interest in environmental issues, studying nature, and are just obsessed with owning guns and trucks.


A bunch of childish nonsense
Yes. It’s the bots, see Gersham’s law 'bad comments drive out good comments.
