This is probably a stretch, but hear me out.

Maybe we should have a federal beneficial ownership registry to see who is really buying our housing stock... and not a bullshit one, like an actual, "We will take it away from you if you lie" type one.

If we allow anyone from anywhere to buy our housing stock we need to accept that those living there will never be able to buy in.

That type of policy is very expensive when it comes to civil unrest.

That'd be a good second step after we limit foreign investment in RE.

They banned foreign ownership in New Zealand. It did fuck all to help

The owning classes know no boundries.

The whole rich foreigners are why you can't buy a house narrative was a pretty good distraction I'll give em that. 

Got us all mad at the dirty evil rich chinese without asking why our government was doing nothing to prevent houses being used as investment vehicles to the detriment of society at large.

The heart of the issue is housing becoming a stock to invest in as opposed to shelter to live in. We need to enact rules banning real estate hedge funds from buying anything at all and limit individuals to two or three pieces of real estate max. One primary residence, one recreational and one rental/investment maybe. That would be like tossing a nuke on the market though and I don't claim to understand what all the effects would be. 

Basically we're fucked. We've painted ourselves into a corner. My darkest prediction is individual home ownership will eventually become a thing of the past and renting will be the norm for all but the elites.

You saw that referendum they had in Berlin right?

As for who is buying our housing stock? Pretty sure it's just a few large companies.

Wages and cost of living are out of whack and it's turning everyone into a bunch of cunts, especially me. 

If we can't figure out how to fix that everything else is just bandaids on an axe wound.

It's ok guys. The global economy seems to be imploding so we'll have something else to panic about for a while.

The ring came off my pudding can!

Showed my vaxx pass for the first time on Friday. Loved knowing I wasn't eating next to any lemmings.

the inferno awaits you

It awaits all of us.

Not all coins are alike though.

Bitcoin: 80 terawatt hours per year

Cardano: 6 gigawatt hours per year with 10% the market cap of bitcoin.
