@@thegerald8733 another 20 years and you might be right. Nothing will happen until the people make it clear to politicians that the current approach of stimulating demand will never fix the underlying issue. Also building supply will take about 10 years before we see any benefits. The situation could be fixed within a year or two if they tackled the demand side of the equation but politicians will never willfully propose this because the corporations they work for don't want things to change. Also the media is largely for property price rises because they own stakes in these real estate corporations so they are only too happy to brainwash Australians with endless FOMO on the property market.

The extreme homelessness in the 1940’s was only dealt with because of squatting, it was the only thing (disgustingly) that forced the government to introduce meaningful policy. At the time all government was interested in doing was handing over large sums of money to the private building industry which was a massive failure.

Personally I love the idea of increasing taxes on natural resources. That said, Australia does need to be careful about what it would do with the tax revenue. Look up the term “Dutch disease”. Basically, it would be better for Australia to invest natural resource tax revenue overseas than in Australia. As an example, Norway’s natural resource taxes are put into a sovereign wealth fund. This fund invests in foreign companies outside of Norway. This prevents “Dutch disease”. And it has the additional benefit of giving Norway voting rights in many foreign companies. I agree that Australia has a housing crisis that needs to be fixed. Personally I think many things are needed to fix it. With the specific issue in this video, an high empty property tax would help. Owners would have to either: * rent (or renovate and then rent) * sell * move into the property

@@jackreaper2890 interesting. I did a Google search and found… “While investors can lower their rental prices for negative gearing purposes, a property may also remain vacant. An investment cannot be left vacant by choice if you want to claim negative gearing benefits, but if you genuinely can’t find a tenant, all your expenses will go towards a tax deduction. In the eyes of some, negative gearing is a property investment strategy that contributes to a much larger problem. Investors are protected if they can’t find a tenant, but vacant properties still result in less supply, which may result in higher house prices for buyers and greater rental expenses for tenants. “ And “What happens if the owners can’t find tenants? If the property was standing empty when the owner had it listed with a real estate agent in search of a tenant, then all the expenses would allow for a tax deduction. For example; If a property was situated next door to a new residential development, thus being unable to attract tenants, the owners would still be able to claim a deduction even though the property was vacant. From the ATO’s point of view, investors are in business to make a profit from property - either directly from the rental income or when the property sells for a profit, so it pays to know when you can & can’t claim a deduction.”

If the rules were changed around negative gearing and the number of investment properties people were able to have, it would go some way to resolving the problem. Why should tax payers pay for someone to own three, four, ten, fifteen or twenty investment properties. If negative gearing could only apply to two investment properties per owner, and after that negative gearing does not apply, that would make it much fairer to those that want to buy a property to live in. Also increase stamp duty for investment properties from three percent to ten percent. Use the extra stamp duty to go towards more social housing.

I’d be happy if “we” being * Australian citizens * viewers on the comments section I see the solution as an empty property tax. The tax should be high enough that it essentially forces owners to either: * live in the property * rent the property (or renovate/re-build and then rent) * sell the property Potential buyers would know of the existence of such a tax. So they would only buy the property if they were prepared to do one of the above things. This tax would lead to increased efficiency of land use. The tax would increase efficiency of use of all the materials in the building. And of the labour used to create the building. The tax would also increase the efficiency of public assets around the property eg roads, wires, pipes etc… Then thinking of “growing the pie”, everyone shares some responsibility. It is important that the pie does grow. Otherwise people will focus on the division of the pie. Individual’s are responsible with every purchase that they make. Likewise with business and government. Citizens of democracies are responsible for their votes. Shareholders are responsible for their votes and influence on companies that they own. Employees are responsible for their actions. Ownership of anything is theoretically possible but only practically possible if it’s respected. I don’t say this as a threat, but as someone who saw the steeling of music become a social norm back in the days as Napster and limewire. Property owners (who want to remain owners) must keep the majority on their side. An empty property tax would be a smart move from owners (of occupied properties) to help to maintain their ownership. The percentage of people renting in Australia is growing. Owners should be careful that this percentage doesn’t grow too high.

@tsmspace 9 ай бұрын

it appears that most of the houses shown in the images are vacant because they were not able to be approved for occupancy. If a house has a broken foundation and might have parts of it collapse, or otherwise does not meet code, then it's not legal to rent it out, and in some cases it's not legal to live in it at all, depending on the severity of the code violation. Haiti is a great example of when everyone just lives in buildings that don't meet code, there is one disaster and 100,000 people die at once, because their homes are not properly to code. If the property owner can't afford to fix a property so that it passes inspection, this is the primary source of these problems. I don't know but it seems to me that for the most part, almost all of these properties could be addressed by enforcing existing laws, that would have resulted in these properties having been seized shortly after they were unable to meet standards, because these kinds of laws usually already exist. The problem is not greedy investors hogging all the houses, it's the people who should be following up on code violations overlooking when someone would rather just abandon the house illegally.

I’m American and I support this guy. We have too many homeless people, too many vacant houses, and too many greedy investors. Investments are supposed to risks. If a property owner is scared of losing his investment, do something with that property!

I hope people will question how does a corporation show up in person and ask someone to leave? I guess everyone who owns any interest in the corporation would have to show up at the same time and ask them to leave. And of course if you had your headphones on, you might not hear them ask you to leave.

Viewing houses as “assets” is exactly what got this country into this situation in the first place. If anything what he’s doing is more moral than the rich buying multiple investment properties that they don’t even live in for years at a time. Especially when they could instead be used to give the poor protection from the elements and a place to stay, which is a basic human right. The homeless sacrifice more than you EVER have. Get some perspective.

@@drewp.weiner5708 so by that logic, if I don’t like the way that you wear your jacket - it’s morally fine for me to rip it off your back. Or, if I don’t like your comments, I can just take your phone from you (hell, I’ll even give it to a homeless person if it makes it better). One of the fundamental sets of rights in a liberal democracy are property rights - it’s even written into the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. Just because you don’t agree with how someone uses their property - it doesn’t give you the right to redistribute it.

He is missing the point why we have a housing crisis completely, it's immigrants being able to pay more money for rent and to buy. He also doesn't understand when someone dies things take time these days, because everything is held up because of so many deaths, which won't happen to this panel as they are not vaxed.

A national empty property tax. The tax needs to be strong enough to tax AirBnBs, hotels, motels and holiday homes. If they need to lease at a loss on low demand days, so be it. If the high demand days don’t cover the loss, it will lead to the properties being switched to long term rentals (or sold to homebuyers or other investors). If someone can’t afford to promptly renovate a home in order to put the home back on the rental market, then the empty property tax should essentially force the sale of the property.

You just assuming that these houses are vacant because rich people are hoarding land and houses, but you don’t know that individuals circumstance of why that house is vacant, you could be messing up the house and life of someone who is really hard-working and is going through a hard time and just can’t happen to live at that location right now. Don’t be putting peoples addresses out like that.

If that's the case, the owner can simply ask the squatters to leave. Prioritising the feelings of property owners over the lived reality of homelessness is part of the disease, not the cure.

Bro is just driving home a point, do something quick at the gov level or deal with a bigger issue with people squatting and living in vacant properties which would clog up legal, police and council resources (specially since it isnt illegal) lol .. its really that simple, you can tell he is talking about it with some humor even though he is deadly serious about telling people to do it to make it a point. It's a masterful play, the hosts taking it super seriously just cracking me up.

It's not people who put themselves in debt and worked hard to own rentals who are to blame (I don't own a rental btw). It's government policy. Immigration is off the charts. Negative gearing. Interest rates and taxes are killing builders country wide.

You are encouraging illegal activity and criminal behaviour rather than speaking with the owners and arranging, if possible, a place for people that need it. But this illegal behaviour he is encouraging needs to stop. 1. It is not your hard earned money that bought these properties. 2. Those people could be living overseas and not be there for a couple of years because the move from place to place and their property is generational. 3. Your system is to take away the rights of others who you abuse and take through immoral methods people's properties in an inappropriate way. Pull your head in mate and stop your subversion of peoples freedom to do what they like with their resources. This is not a socialist, communist country. Also, about America killing people and putting them on the streets, it is the left that are the warmongers currently and also the ones that have policies that are causing people to live in poverty sue to their polities so maybe stop your leftist socialist Marxist mentality and support or run as a politician to introduce some decent policies so we can lift people out of poverty. Following this socialist behaviour of what is yours should be mine and sharing peoples wealth of hard working people and giving it to people that haven't worked hard for it has never worked and there are 200 million dead people in history and continuing today to prove it in Communists socialist countries around the world. The left has decimated the US and other countries globally. Personally I would be renting a property I am not using because it provides income. I think it is fine to identify these properties and speak to the owners as to how best utilise these resources. I just think the way he is doing it is misguided and an illegal and immoral way to do it. The government is starting to address properties that are vacant but just walking in and doing this randomly is a criminal act. Try providing a legal way of doing this not pushing criminal activity which might encourage illegal behaviour in others especially with properties that are locked up. How about we stop people from overseas from coming in and buying property. I had this same issue 20 years ago and was pushed out of the auction proce range at the time. Allowing Chinese and other people to come in and buy our properties giving them the ability to cast out struggling aussies from the market. Also lets get rid of negative gearing but that wont happen because the politicians and others who have influence like the housing minister have multiple investment properties. The prime minister is ine of them so do you think he is going to allow the removal of negative gearing? There are other ways that need to be pursued to fix this issue.

Imagine having a holiday home , and squatters have a right to help themselves in .

I don't know about you, but I think someone's right to live in safety is more important than someone else's right to own multiple properties. One of these things is a matter of survival, the other is not. What would YOU do if your survival was on the line? If it was -10C outside, and you were on the streets, would you care more about private property? Or would you care more about the risk of hypothermia, in that moment?
