'BC Green Leader to run in Saanich North and the Islands'
"We’ve seen a near decade of a B.C. NDP government and every major issue has gotten worse," she said, adding that the Greens plan to focus on improving healthcare, taxing the "ultra-wealthy and mega corporations," and funding public programs.

Across Europe, affordable housing is in crisis. Everyone deserves the right to housing. Now and forever!
Volt Europa and House Europe are uniting with civil society groups to lead a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) to make safe, affordable housing a recognised right for everyone in the EU.

Una casa non è solo quattro mura: è la possibilità di studiare, lavorare, costruirsi una famiglia, lasciare quella dei genitori, vivere da soli, restare nella propria città: e quando abitare diventa troppo caro, tutto il resto diventa praticamente impossibile.
E non è una legge di natura: è il risultato di scelte politiche che per anni hanno lasciato il diritto alla casa in secondo piano rispetto alla rendita, alla speculazione e a un mercato sempre meno accessibile.
Per questo vogliamo portare questa battaglia anche a livello europeo: la crisi abitativa riguarda città diverse, ma attraversa tutta Europa, dunque servono anche strumenti europei capaci di affiancare Comuni e Stati e di mettere finalmente l’accessibilità della casa al centro delle politiche pubbliche.
Con “Diritto all’abitare! Ora e per sempre” possiamo trasformare questa richiesta in pressione politica concreta.
Non chiediamo un favore: chiediamo che poter vivere in una casa torni a essere normale.
Aiutaci a farlo.

Meanwhile, in Vienna, people are living in good quality social housing for around 400 euro a month.
Anthony and Alex’s one bedroom apartment costs roughly the same as the Brisbane sharehouse Anthony rented 20 years ago.
Imagine that.
A housing system designed to house people rather than extract every possible dollar from them.
Australia didn’t accidentally end up with unaffordable housing.
We made political choices that turned housing into an investment vehicle.
And people like Pauline Hanson want us arguing about who deserves a roof over their head instead of asking who is making a fortune from the crisis.

Rent disputes surge in Quebec City as tenants challenge high increases
Applications to fix or review rents at the Quebec City office of the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) have nearly tripled over the past five years. Housing advocates say larger rent increases and a tighter rental market are leading more tenants to challenge proposed hikes, even as many fear the lengthy and stressful legal ...

The shibboleth is dead. For 30 years, Canberra's consensus: house prices must go up forever. Now 61% of Australians across ages, incomes, parties say they need to fall. Even 14% would accept a 20%+ drop on their own home. Labor's budget: 2% slower growth. Coalition: howls over the word 'correction'. Meanwhile, mortgages have tripled, homeownership is cratering, and a whole generation is locked out. The housing theory of everything has failed. Time to stop treating shelter as an investment casino.

"Tell your MP: Canadians can’t afford another risky pipeline & tanker project"
Despite promises that a new west coast pipeline would be funded by the private sector, Mark Carney & Danielle Smith want to spend tens of billions of taxpayer dollars on it, without letting Canadians have a say in the decision.
Instead of spending that money on the actual challenges Canadians are facing -- housing, hospital wait times, grocery prices and clean drinking water on Indigenous reserves, to name a few -- our federal government is bailing out the oil industry again, even as Canada is dealing with floods, heat waves, wildfires and extreme weather.
Mark Carney says Canada cannot afford to meet its climate targets. But what we really cannot afford is to spend tens of billions of taxpayer funds on a new pipeline project that will make the climate crisis even worse.

@timrichards@aus.social i neither understand nor trust peeps who regard their house/apartment as other than a home. once i learn they see it as an investment, i want nothing more to do with them. for me this is a massive litmus test of character & morality.

F#@K@aus.social off Murdoch.
Imagine running a front page lamenting falling house prices while people are literally living in tents.
That tells you everything about whose side you’re on.
The Daily Telegraph isn’t concerned about Australians. It’s concerned about protecting property speculation and keeping housing unaffordable.
Every young Australian locked out of home ownership is collateral damage in Murdoch’s campaign to defend the wealth of landlords and developers.
Journalism holds power to account.
Propaganda protects it.
