    It's definitely gotten worse. Remember, in the past a milk man on a single salary could afford a detached home and raise a family. This was a basic job. Now compare that to people having two jobs / incomes and can't afford rent half the time.

    Quality of life isn't affected by city services, they are affected by city taxes. Higher property tax = higher rent = lower quality of life

      Higher borrowing for businesses passes on those costs to consumers...
      Landlords are "businesses" that owe and have raise rents to pay their borrowing costs... And everyone wants to be a landlord and just shuffle money around. Time for those to get real jobs.

      "higher property tax = higher rent" is about as reductive of an argument as you could make.....there are a hundred things that factor into rent-prices & a substantial-number of them carry a lot more weight (like the actual market-value of an abode, which should be obvious-enough as to why)

    • @TentaclePentacle

    What's the common denominator across all residents, is that we all have less time in the day vs last year. The common theme, it's taking us longer to get anywhere in the city. There's only so much happiness one can achieve within a 3km radius of where you live. We all lost time in our day. Less time = less free time = lower happiness
