I would love to see this further contextualised with a per capita value as well as a property value comparison. The latter would be difficult but it is quite common that more expensive properties get assessed more under their value than "cheaper" properties do!

empty
Ottawa chatrooms:

XMPP: empty

Discord: https://discord.gg/TrCHrucmqJ
Please note the following:
* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.
* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.
I'm sure we'll see the same issue with every other city:
- Suburbs subsidized by the downtown core
- Top quartile pays less than their fair share
Oh definitely, it's just a matter of quantifying that and having a useful resource to point to to really drive that home!
