Firstly, apartment complexes and the likes are usually owned by bigger companies with more leverage when negotiating loan rates compared to individuals. Secondly, renting a small apartment while holding on to their down payment money / saving even more is clearly gonna be cheaper than buying a 2 bedroom home in the middle of a city.

Yes?

I honestly just think it’s ignorance and/or plain idiocy. One of my closest friends who’s not dumb by any means, bought a home with his gf when homes were highly overvalued but loan rates were still on a record low (European country). I asked him if it was really such a good idea or if they could just rent or keep living seperately for a while longer - but no.
Well, when everything caught up and their rate doubled all of a sudden it’s hard to make their economy work (luckily they get by and are both educated but the rates can’t go much higher before shit hits the fan).
He later had to get a new car and could barely afford a 20yo used car and complained that it’s hard to have money left after all costs of living and I, like a good (bad?) friend, discreetly (not very much) brought up the fact that I “told him so”. His response was “yes I know but those are the rules we just have to play by and it’s out of our control”.

- Comment on Canada to announce all new cars must be zero emissions by 2035 11 months ago:
Well I claimed that I’ve not seen a study that accounts for all the different attributes at once. So there’s really nothing for me to provide?
But if you really need it, MIT did a study in 2019 and they explicitly (in about 2 sentences) declare that they don’t take into account battery lifetime, capacity degradation over time, battery efficiency’s sensitivity to cold, the problem with disposing of depleted batteries. According to their study an EV has about 55% of the emissions of a traditional ICE of comparable size, not accounting for the aforementioned details, nor the fact that EVs replace batteries. I.e. they assume one set of batteries for the entire lifespan.
Now, I might very well be wrong. And I probably am (judging from the down vote bombing). But I just want to see a thorough study of both types of vehicles with everything taken into account from basically drawing board to junkyard.
- Comment on Canada to announce all new cars must be zero emissions by 2035 11 months ago:
Well, please show me a trustworthy study of the difference between ICE and EV emissions per mile during their lifetime. The ones I’ve read always say “in their lifetime”, but they don’t take into account EV batteries need changing after about 10 years … And batteries are as we know the “big bad” of EVs. The absolutely only true comparison would be all emissions from all sources spread out over either per mile or per year. A combustion car can easily last 20 years, which isn’t really a fair comparison to the 10 years.
- Comment on Canada to announce all new cars must be zero emissions by 2035 11 months ago:
Production of batteries, handling discarded batteries, breaking of minerals FOR the batteries, and producing the electricity have all been shown to be worse for the environment than than the entire life of a traditional car
- Comment on Canada to announce all new cars must be zero emissions by 2035 11 months ago:
Is that no emissions at all along the cars life from production to scrap? Cus EVs today are in large just virtue vehicles.

Well i think the point is that today people just watch movies that have “aTleAsT 7 or 8 on imDb” or the top ranked show/album on [insert arbitrary streaming service] that week, and are never exposed to anything outside of the mainstream realm = Everyone you meet is just a clone of the person next to her/him.
On paper you are correct; You’d think people have vastly different tastes and interests but in reality they just watch/listen to/do what everyone else is watching/listening do/doing.
