@davej@dice.campIce-cold take: a tenant who can afford Bulimba’s median $1225/week house rent isn’t in #housing distress, let alone one who can afford the median $2.3 million purchase price.
How about building dwellings for people genuinely priced out of adequate housing? Why not actually address #WealthInequality
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca“Statistics Canada says the top 20 per cent of the wealth distribution accounted for 65.7 per cent of Canada’s total net worth at the end of 2025, averaging $3.5 million per household.
In contrast, the bottom 40 per cent of the wealth distribution held three per cent of Canada’s net worth, averaging $81,650 per household.”
I am in neither of these brackets which I guess means I am firmly ‘middle class’, but guys, it's still bloody hard. Way harder than it should be.
