Mr. Carney Goes to Ottawa:

How is he fucking us over?

cbc.ca/player/play/9.6746091

Right off the bat, in #Carney's first press conference, no public, social housing.

Instead, "$25b in financing to private developers" in Build Canada Homes, ignoring #CMHC and the #BankofCanada.

His first neoliberal act was to fuck with the capital gains tax, now more corporate welfare to real estate vultures.

Senator Mehreen Faruqi, deputy leader of the Australian Greens and spokesperson for higher education spoke out against the latest #Dutton #LNP electioneering fluff (you cannot call brainfarts a policy) and managed to shame #Labor ‘s inaction on #SocialHousing for good measure:

“The facts are clear, we’ve seen the evidence: international students are not the cause of skyrocketing rents or unaffordable housing. That responsibility lies squarely with successive governments who have refused to build enough public housing and prioritised lining the pockets of wealthy property investors.”

les briques
Dans la cité-jardins de Stains, côté immeubles d’habitation. Pas sûre que ces balcons soient très fonctionnels pour les humains, mais les chats ont l’air de les trouver à leur goût et c’est déjà chat, enfin ça, bref. Août 2021.

Photo d’un balcon en quart de cercle sur une façade en brique jaune rehaussée de quelques touches de brique rouge. Les montants du garde corps du balcon sont eux-mêmes constitués d’empilements de briques arrondies. Un pilier central en brique jaune un peu plus épais vient relier le dessus et le dessous du balcon, qui sont en béton. Ce balcon a l’air vraiment tout petit. Deux chats sont installés sur sa rambarde.

"Private developers build for profit, public housing providers are building for longevity so they need high quality, durable housing that's built to last.

If we build too cheaply we pay for it down the line."

"In early February, Seattle voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 1A, making Seattle the first city in the country to explicitly commit itself to building social housing. Prop 1A funds the Seattle Social Housing Developer, which was created by a 2023 ballot initiative, by taxing companies that pay any of their individual employees over $1 million dollars per year.

Both of these initiatives were spearheaded by a coalition called House Our Neighbors, which included the Seattle chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and other progressive groups. The approach to social housing embodied by Prop 1A, inspired by models like Vienna’s, allows for mixed-income housing, with rents on a sliding scale allowing higher-income tenants to subsidize lower-income tenants.

In Seattle, the Chamber of Commerce, corporations like Amazon and Microsoft, the mayor, and the city council all fought against the social housing campaign. Jacobin spoke to House Our Neighbors co–executive director Tiffani McCoy about the Prop 1A model, how the campaign won in Seattle, and what to expect for social housing in Seattle going forward"
