Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I fucking hate it. Happening here too. The city slaps down some thousand buildings, rich assholes move in and start suing every concert venue and festival that has been there for decades. Demolishes historic buildings and every semblance of local culture. But they gotta, because there's a housing shortage - which somehow will be solved by condos that cost millions, despite the fact the people in need of houses are students. Suggest using any other means than just building shit, like maybe appropriating or regulating? No that's too far, even though the language about the housing crisis is apocalyptic.
It's become a trend in my city to buy a townhouse and sell each floor as its own condo. People spending 500-700k to live in a basement. And they charge a condo fee even though you're still on the hook for everything.
