Rinnkuun… you’re back. Nice

Next time you’re in Sydney I’ll buy you a beer. Until then, much respect. Keep up the awesome work.

It’s like the Avengers of Lemmy porn posts in here. We’re just missing Rinnkun. Keep up the awesome work folks.

For clarity, I believe in socialism, and live in Australia, arguably one of the more successful social democracies. I’m trying to highlight how capitalism has some massive gaps when it comes to implementation.

Interestingly, in Australia we have no rental controls, and the market just works. Prices rise and fall based on the demands of the market. At times, renting in Australia becomes unaffordable for many, and it’s all over the news, and people try to address the issue. But I don’t know that I’ve ever heard rental price controls being offered as a solution. The more common proposed solutions are to: build more affordable houses in newly created suburbs further from the city, increase public transport options to the city making outlying suburbs more viable, all of which provide downward pressure on the rental prices in the popular city districts. As construction booms, the rental market softens.

Oh god, not this shit again. I’m sure there’s a GIF somewhere about this issue.
