Video talking about the cafe:
Link to tweet discussing when it first opened
The coffee shop was a worker (one worker to be specific) owned, anti capitalist, anti colonial (?) cafe. Where you could read all 
from great progressive authors while enjoying a cup of overpriced coffee.
They leaned heavily into creating a safe space of People of color, so no dumb cops or army people were allowed on the premise. 
.
The cafe also made the wise choice of being open from 9 to 5, the time when all of the working class people were wage cucking lol
They also had this cool idea where you only had to pay as much as you could afford. Surely this wouldn't backfire 
Anyway less than a year later the cafe opening, the cafe shuts down and the owner puts at a statement on why it failed:
Unfortunately, the lack of generational wealth/seed capital from ethically bankrupt sources left me unable to weather the quiet winter season, or to grow in the ways needed to be sustainable longer-term,"
The landlord was also giving them a 50% discount on their rent and that darn capitalism still managed to shut them down

As opposed to the super intelligent anti capitalist hate monger that couldnt keep their business alive for more than a year paying 1/2 price rent.๐ค
For most of us it's worked out pretty well! And the alternatives don't look very appealing.
Yes, it worked well if you are a boomer who was able to buy up all the properties and become a full time landlord. For, the rest of us housing has become a luxury. This in my eyes is a systematic failure.
I'm GenX and have been eating the shit most of my adult life. But jcd ain't wrong (and often is), no alternative system provides better quality of life for the majority of people that we've figured out, thus far. Where we're really failing is on who we elect and how we balance our current system. But that's a whole other topic.
You do realize that capitalism is one of the only systems that marks basic human needs as luxuries? The only difference is that failures under capitalism are not properly accounted for. If a person is homeless under capitalism, itโs marked as the persons fault and not the states. If a person is hungry under capitalism, itโs marked as the persons fault and not the states. Since capitalism depends on the core belief that the meritocracy is real, every failure is attributed to personal failure and not a systematic issue. This is why people think capitalism is the best system because every failure is accredited to the individual suffering those conditions.

Having dealt with co-ops, they tend to be really poorly run and are prone to major internal political drama as different types of employees have different interests. Older co-op owners tend not to want to reinvest in the business to maximize their own returns. Smarter younger owners do want to reinvest so they make more money long term. Dumb younger owners want to do all sorts of different shit. People want to cut corners. People don't want to do bad jobs and everyone suddenly thinks they're a business genius.
Your argument basically boils down to "people are too dumb for democracy to work". I'm not asking this to be snarky, this is honestly something I struggle with myself. Do you think that the problem you describe here justifies the authoritarian mode of production we use now? If so, why is this different from how we run our governments? Should we be modeling our government more like China's to make sure it's run better and not prone to internal political drama?

it's just laughing at a stupid business that existed in contradiction to what it seemingly was preaching. it's like having a pro-Semitic non-racist Jewish Death Camp or a homosexual who's only attracted to the opposite s*x.
Frick lefties I wish them the worst, this bottom feeding commie hopefully learns what being poor is

The systematic failure isnt the housing system. Its the failure to beat this shit out of you at a young age so you can join the vast majority of people who have no issue with housing.

There is something fricked up with rent prices right now, but that's not the redditor's core problem.

I'm so happy in the CongoCerebralChud 1yr ago #4162508 spent 0 currency on pingsLol that's not how that works. By that logic, wages in the US would be 0.49% of what they were in 1770 because the work-eligible population is 200 times larger.

Foids typically don't expand productivity or consumption when working compared to as housewives - the same amount of food, of family homes, of goods are produced because foids don't typically work in production, but they do expand the prices that families CAN pay, so they increase prices. Between that, and the fact that colleges have become 60-40 foid instead of the reverse in the 70s, and a lot less "Mrs. Degrees" that just go to find a husband and don't actually enter the workforce, this has increased the prices for nearly everything, especially things that the Educated Classes buy, like good homes and jobs.

I used to mald at r-slurred urbanists who hate the idea of people owning their own detached homes but now I realize they barely make ends meet paying $3,000 a month in the hustle and bustle and it makes me ok

Yeah housing definitely goes through surges where its impractical and unaffordable but thats just inconvenient timing in the market its not a complete generational kneecap

Somehow they can't figure out "buy low, sell high" when it's not a meme stock.
I lucked out and bought my house for 90k in 2013, timing just happened to work out in my favor. My mom built her house in 2007, a little less ideal timing.

The rent is high because they all want to live in the middle of the city, and the rent in the city is already double what it should be because entire neighbourhoods are unusable for normal people.

Yeah I live in a small bedroom town like half an hour from the nearest small city and housing prices have jumped here in the past two years. I bought my house in 2019 and I could probably double my money darn near on it if I wanted to.

It does not seem sustainable and it doesnโt seem to be a supply problem (in my area) it literally seems like the capital firms are just buying up land/houses.

I don't know shit about Canada but I'm sure there's a happy medium between "venture capitalist with 80 rental properties" and "homeless victim of capitalism". Maybe the entirety of the lower and middle class, which comprises 98% of the population? The ones that figured out how to rent/purchase a single property in a relatively affordable area for personal use?
You have access to a roof over your head. You just don't like it because 50 other people are under that same roof.
Having your own private living space is a luxury, not a right.
