Opinion Should It Be Illegal to Evict People

[Loiosh]

The alternative is to pop the housing bubble.

You can build a simple single family dwelling for under $20K. Relax regulations and let people do that.

Even if this was possible, and it isn't, it would be a disaster for the environment. People in houses consume an enormous amount of resources. Houses are incredibly expensive to maintain, even if you get them free.

You realize that's how people did it all throughout human history until like the last century right?

You arent getting an electrician to wire a house for 20k, let alone an actual house.

A single room dwelling? I bet you could. All costs associated with building a home are driven by over regulation. Cut the red tape.

The solution to all these problems is always the same: de-regulate.

I'm not talking about McMansions here.

That's a house.

 

[ElijahWood]

Lol. De regulate the electrical codes. Now I know you are a fucking retard.

Sure, hire the local crackhead to wire your place up. Dont bother woth smoke alarms,, those are expensive.

Fuck it, throw him an extra 50 bucks to not hook up a power meter, free electricity for everyone.

Who needs professionals.

Then keep them under bridges. Idgaf I'm not homeless.

You sure do like to claim getting rid of electrical regulations is a good idea though.

So which electrical regulations should we get rid of, specifically? Use the NEC codes so we are talking about the same stuff.

You mean building codes?
So you don’t understand the reason behind them?

Landlords need protection. With the laws now for renters, at least around here, there is plenty of leeway for them. Giving more would just bring out all the skunts.

Well here in Canada, you can't build an off the grid dwelling. You have to be tied into the electric grid.

That's a regulation I'd get rid of for sure.

If it puts you out of work, all the better. You seem like a bit of a cunt tbh.

I'm not saying you don't have some truth on your side, but I don't think this way. How much land does each of these dwellings need? How much support? It's a LOT of support.

I work at a factory. I'm just not a fucking idiot. I have no respect for people who think thry know better than an expert.

Newsflash, electricity is dangerous. People shouldn't be fucking around with it who don't know what they are doing.

Other trades are like that too. Know what size floor joists you need for any particular house? I sure as fuck dont, you would need a framer. What depth the footer on your foundation needs to be? Same thing.

Construction isn't a game to play with your 5 year old. It's a job for professionals, and a hard one. If you fuck up wiring to an outlet and bond the neutral to the box instead of to the nuetral bar back at the panel, you very well could kill yourself or someone else. People die from this kind of thing. People lose their home. Alot.

You're obviously not in construction...

It cost 20k to put new cabinets in my kitchen lol

I looked at having new windows put in my house because I dont like mine......

Well my windows aren't that bad I guess.

Maybe they can let those people create towns on Public Lands or something.

Happens all the time:

Wow.

You're literally going to be lucky to get into a weather proofed baby barn with heat, lights, and a toilet for $20,000. That's not including land, septic, and water (another $30,000 minimum).

You realize that's how people did it all throughout human history until like the last century right?

Not true. A large percentage of people have been renting (and being evicted) throughout history. None of this is new.

 

[jeremyemilio]

No. However, it should be illegal to own property for the sake of renting it out.

Yeah.

That's generally the rallying cry of the under housed: "We want fewer rental properties!"

Hear it all the time.

 

[HereticBD]

Ummm....no.


Now, should absurd, arbitrary never ending rising rental fees be looked at? Yes.

 

[freakroor]

yes i’m all in favor of doing away with the concept of private property , worldwide.

 

[Day Drinking]

Holy dipshit alert. What does off gird housing have to do with electricians?

Every off grid house i have heard of uses solar power. You need electricians for that. And more expertise than a normal house.

unless you are proposing not having electricity at all in homes for the poor? Or running water?
