The housing market is tough, so you need someone on your side who's tougher.

  How much would it cost to have this put on the back of a local bus

    The biggest cost would be licensing The character from the Star Trek people. You could probably run the ad for a couple hundred bucks on a single bus depending on the area

      Pretty sure it falls under fair use as long you don’t start an actual business.

    Now I wish I had the money for a billboard. I don’t think the digital ones are THAT expensive though.

    You could do it for 4 weeks for $450 in Toronto.

    You may get sued, and Pattison may turn you away trying not to get sued themselves.

      The provincial government tried to pawn off protected lands for commercial development … it would be hilarious to get sued for advertising a Klingon Real Estate Agent while provincial leaders get away with blatant land development corruption

      There is honour in a Klingon Real Estate Agent … there is no honour in the Ford government

    The only thing it needs is a cheesy blue jacket and then it’s perfect.

  There is a local bus-bench ad for a realtor by the name of Chris Skowron, and boy the number of times I have wanted to make him bring glory to you… and your hoouuuuuse…

  Housing shouldn’t be a market.

    It should be a war!

      Unironically it could get to that point.

    OK, let me propose the following conjectures as representative of reality:

    1. There are not enough housing units for all people who need housing.
    2. Population increases over time.
    3. Construction materials, workers and equipment are finite resources.

    Because of 2 and 3, 1 will always be true. Additionally, even if 3 is not a limiting factor in a particular area, it takes time to build new housing units and therefore the supply cannot easily adjust to meet demand.

    Assuming you accept the above (if not please propose a different representation of reality), what is your alternative plan for distributing housing units?

      There are many ideas to increase equity in the housing market. Most houses are bought by people who already own houses. They have better credit and more equity, so obviously it’s easier to buy a second home than a first.

      Governments could favor first time homebuyers by taxing extra homes, or just giving each person a grant for the down payment. The answers are pretty simple, but they are difficult because homeowners vote and donate more to political campaigns.

      Vote and volunteer for your favored candidates, or someone else will.

      2 is not necessarily true. A well developed, modern world is probably at replacement fertility rate of 2.3 or so (don’t know exact number you can look it up).

      Construction material needs innovation to reuse or develop ever-available methods/forever lasting shelter.

      Workers and equipment… need not change quantity when 2 becomes false.

  Thanks, I had to bust out the decoder for the Klingon script. Google Translate support for Klingon when?
