    I’m always impressed by the massive community garden right next to a bunch of mid-low density housing whenever I go to a certain park. it’s next to some tight old neighbourhoods with detached homes on small lots and townhomes/short apartments. the thing takes up more space than a small park and is clearly maintained and active.

    it’s nice to see.






  • $150k household income is not enough to afford a house, middle class standard of living, children, and retirement savings since you don’t have a pension. at least in my area.

    it’ll get you lower middle class, maybe.

    I’m not saying these people should be having money issues, they need to budget appropriately. but what used to be possible 20 years ago just isn’t now, you need to choose one big thing to drop, whether that’s a detached house, children, expensive hobbies, trips, etc

    there’s too much shifting of the goal posts for what middle class is, I think it has slipped too far downwards





  • this is so foreign to me. 38mph in a 30, and 3 points and license lost (due to a previous 9 point total)

    in Canada, going 63 in a 50 km/h zone is the expectation. you will never get a ticket for that, let alone pulled over, other than automated speed cameras (which are clearly warned about in advance and identifiable)

    I wish we stuck to the rules like that. don’t make it a 50 if you’re not going to enforce it - it’s a false sense of safety
