As an Australian, I'd also be happy for this. Even after winding the tariffs back, trump is still a Nazi and as long as he's winning votes, the US can't be supported

Id rather buy EU too

At least on Reddit, i was getting blasted because I pointed out vapers here in Australia were constantly breaking the laws and were using vaping as an excuse to vape inside "because it's just water vapor".

If it's just water vapor, then you don't need to do it in the cabin of a train mate.. or right at the entrance of the supermarket so every one needs to breathe in your smoke when they enter

Over smokers in general. To make things worse, a lot of "free thinkers" tend to be smoking. Because nothing demonstrates your ability to think independently by being conned into using an addictive substance that harms you

Not only. Oddly enough, even one of the admins on beehaw acted completely weird. And there is definitely a few more subs where people act extremist and weird

Also, it got to the point that there were people openly calling for killing specific people.

That being said, long term there is definitely more promise which is why I gave it another try

It sounds like you want the best of all worlds

If you want cheap rent and all that, the solution is to buy, not to rent

Yes, it requires more responsibility, but that's life.

I dunno. There are parts of Lemmy which are just as bad (if not worse).

I left once because of it. I'm mainly back because I'm hoping lemmy can replace reddit ultimately and we can start to rely on something totally decentralized. Not super impressed by spez either

So what's your solution then for rentals?

You complain if they put incentives to stop buying multiple properties and increase the availability to people who want to stop renting, you complain if they don't?

Negative gearing mainly benefits wealthier people, and I know we had customers with 14+ houses they owned. They're the main problem, because the more properties they buy, the bigger power they have over the market (monopolies).

There already is a first home owners grant which benefits first home buyers (I know, because I used it).

They need to add incentive for people to stop buying multiple properties, so more people can stop renting, and eliminating negative gearing could help with that.

Unless of course you're complaining because you never want to buy?
