The food economist is probably correct in that we don't have a lot of space to accommodate, and incomes need to increase, but I don't see a problem with removing these covenants. Let's remove them and see what happens.

"Masculinity," as practiced by the manosphere, is indistinguishable from a simple lack of adequate social & emotional development. It is, in a sense, the explicit *rejection* of social & emotional development.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

As a dual US/Cdn citizen, I'd be happy to give up my US citizenship for free, but I have to pay over $3,000 for it. So I have to file taxes in both countries every year & I can't travel to US on a Canadian passport. It would be nice to have a free option to leave, but forcing people is nuts.

This is so backwards. Is this what we want to waste our taxes on-paying rent, electricity, and water to public servants who would rather pay it themselves at home and not clog up traffic? Living downtown and working from home there would boost downtown business and save taxpayer money.
