Agreed that homelessness, real estate crisis, and general unaffordability is up everywhere in Western societies (US, Canada, Europe and Australia). Why is it so fucked and where else is there to go LOL?
What about other places? A comparison to the rest of North America makes sense but is such a low bar. Shoot for higher. Another example of Canadian helplessness - oh police response times have been mostly the same (bad) as 1995, there's no need to improve (eyeroll).
Hell the small town of Horseshoe Bay has a HUGE uptick in bums. Which is shocking cause it's cold as shit there - breezy by the water.
Used to be a solid date spot, nice and safe, now you get crackheads screaming and chasing each other down the street - true story.
This was kind of my reaction walking in the supposed red light district / homeless area of Osaka. It's not as bad as Vancouver, so I didn't notice them. But other Japanese locals wouldn't dare to go there. Kinda shows how fucked Vancouver is imo. | I dunno how to even respond to this -- all I read is " blah blah Asia better, la"
You got it buddy

You got it buddy  | Not even Asia is better, only Hong Kong and Japan apparently. He's acting like the textbook definition of a Honger Weeb and it's annoying as hell.

I would be curious if even a local Honger feels this strongly about HK.

The last time I looked into gini coefficient was in undergrad and found that the gini coefficient isn't an apples to apples comparison because each country calculates it a bit differently.
Also I think HK doesn't account for individualized income in their calc, only household in aggregate. So a 10-person household earning $400k HKD is considered very high income compared to a 1-person household earning $200k HKD.
As an extreme example, the UAE's gini coefficient says there is low income inequality (better than Canada) which is very sus.

World class City
3 people stabbed on Vancouver seawall, police searching for suspect https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...wall-9.6935370
The suspect is described as an Indigenous woman in her late 20s or early 30s with long black hair in a ponytail and a slim build. She was wearing a large black leather jacket, tight pants and a leopard print shirt or scarf. |

You got it buddy  | Like everyone I knew who went on their first international trip shortly after highschool and then suddenly couldn't shut the fuck up about how every little thing is just so much better in ________.
I've heard it about probably half a dozen places now. Yet these people never actually move there.

A lot of the place you want to move to are only good if you make $CAD money there.
Or move when you're retired.

Do people in HK, especially the mainlander visitors, even know why the door handles at Tim's is the way that they are?

I can’t even explain how annoyed it makes me that an American owned, garbage serving facility is what is supposed to be representative of Canadian culture. So fucking embarrassing.

I'll never understand why that shitty fried chicken KFC is so popular in HK and Japan. Is it just white envy cuz Canto fried chicken is 1000x better than anything that KFC pumps out. Granted, KFC is not Canadian but still.
