Housing Visionaries Gifts

Pop-up neighborhood

Jack and Ina build their dream house.

"Privare equity bought the dam and jacked up rent. Nests are next."

"And what do you think of the government's record on housing?"

Homeless count.

"The government prefers to see it as a flexible, environmentally friendly building option that fits within our current funding projections."

"Ok Mr. Bisley, I'll admit it does need a bit of renovation..!"

"He's really excited about this new proposal to let staff take over services."

House hunting is cruel.

"And then the three bears were slowly forced out of the neighborhood due to major corporations cornering the market—The once cozy cottage is now an Air B&B." "The end."

'Like us, the Hula Hoop will never go out of style.'

'Don't worry...you'll grow into them.'

'You have a 9:00 A.M. appointment with your ophthalmologist to check your vision and a 11:00 A.M. appointment with the staff to rally the troops around your vision.'

'... and I'd like a Holodeck right off the living room.'

'I-need-bifocal-itis.'

House building chart (like steps).

"Hmmm, as far as I can gather, unfortunately, it is an eviction notice: we need to find a new home. . ."

'Are you the Octomom who needs a new house?'

"We need a brownfield site."

"There, that's better!"

"We're sitting on a landbank that could accommodate tens of thousands of new homes. We can wait a few years and generate even more profit..."

'Surely it is no longer legal to include 'deposit of your first-born child'?'

"Sorry honey, but moving boxes are sold out everywhere because of the rising rents..."

'One day son, all this will be protesters.'

"Just to let you know - we're putting up your rent again..."

Future Homes

"What do you mean, you got evicted?"

'Forget what it looks like now. Think of what it will look like after you've put 10 years of loving care and back-breaking labor into it.'

Cut and Paste.

Yeah, once again, Mistress missed out on getting the rental property she wanted. The usual issue: no pets allowed...

"Star Wars. . . Batman. . . Pirates. . . What we should be building is affordable housing."
