January 1st, '19. High rents, big mortgages, debts, affect Health, living.

The financial burden must be reduced.

The financial burden has driven citizens to seek a second income , which is sometimes high, to make ends meet.

And consequently to have your children put in daycare centers, to be raised by strangers.

And now there isn’t time to live anymore.

Stress, anxiety, pressure to work more hours to pay the bills is destructive to your Health, and is not normal.

This is not Living.

This financial burden must be reduced to one that all can carry, so there is time to relax, time to breath and time to be with loved ones.

Rents in the private sector must be reduced by e.g. 20%.

The prices of houses must be reduced by 50% which is the price of houses ten years ago.

When people will have more money in their pockets, the need for food banks will diminished..

The need for two full time jobs will no longer be necessary.

There will be time to live , and time to raise a family.

And there will be enough money to pay the bills.

The landlords , the owners of apartment buildings, have been taking all the money: they raise rents every year.

But have the salary risen every year? No.

And the inflation rate is added every year, taking more of the NET DISPOSABLE INCOME.

How much NET DISPOSABLE INCOME is there left?

It keeps getting eroded.

STRESS, ANXIETY, FEAR of losing one’s shelter or roof over their head, anger, have pushed people to the use of drugs, whether prescription drugs, or illegal drugs and abuse of alcohol.

Living is getting stressful.

This affects Health.

This needs to change.

There must be enough money to live, to be used to pay bills , shelter(rent or mortgage), and some left for living and some left to be put for retirement

Many citizens are living from paycheque to paycheque..

Right now people are living beyond their means, getting into debt, especially credit card debt WHICH IS SAID TO BE around 800 billion dollars in this country..

Mortgages are too high.

Rents are too high: renters need to have two jobs to make ends meet, or are pushed to have a roommate with whom you might not get along with, to help pay rent because it is so high in the city of Toronto.

This is abusive. It is not normal and affects the Health of people.

These debts must be paid .

The reduction of rents and the reduction of price of houses (for the city of Toronto, ON) will enable citizens to have more money to pay debts and to live and hopefully to relax better and more often
