Rental Crisis Bites As Two Aussies Cities Become Unaffordable

[@santinovitale2370]

It isn’t racist to say immigration is too high and the major contributor to the supply issue. Just have the courage to say it, people are suffering!!!!

[@HIKKUPZZ]

FAR RIGHT everywhere import 3rd world

[@thevannmann]

Immigration isn't the sole factor. Investment properties and lack of housing diversity.

[@lukerutter4471]

But the clear fact is, the quickest way to alleviate this is reduce the number of people seeking a residence and thats through reducing immigration. All other points are mute. You can change the tax laws to remove investor incentive but there will still be the same demand. Creating more diversity of housing, thats not getting fixed​ quickly. Regardless of if immigration caused the issue, its clearly the quickest way to reduce pressure whilst the other factors are addressed. @thevannmann

[@santinovitale2370]

@ I said major contributor, not sole factor.

[@mateodeleon1185]

Aussie economists have been saying for a few years now, it is mainly excessive immigration. Aus in general is no different to many developed nations are experiencing. but what makes things worse for Aus is the government is not doing anything. Contrast this ti Singapore’s HBD program: Lee Kuan Yew focused on housing soon after they left the Malaysian federation. Now more than 90% of Singaporeans own their home and a lot are under govt housing. A $300,000 SGD 3 bedroom apartment’s counter part in the private market is worth $1M+ SGD. Canada has a very comprehensive housing plan. Labor and Liberal’s proposal pales in comparison. It just shows how weak our politicians are. if you have not checked Matt Barrie out, please do, he talks about the big “Ponzi Scheme” thats going on in Aus, one of the major reasons behind our country’s cost of living and housing problem

This has more to do with lack of housing diversity and investment properties. Build more apartments/terraced/town houses, not single detached.

this is what happens when both major political parties are pushing for policies to fuel properties prices, just check how many MPs and ministers who don't have a few investment properties.

Trashed by who? Apartments in city centres need to be mixed housing, disabled doctors etc. instead we give them free LMI on loans and everyone else pays Everyone else who’s homeless needs to only get 2 years allocated to their housing unit not indefinite.

Standards of living would decline even further without migration. The government's decision isn't without a reason. We should be asking why there are record low building approvals and why builders are collapsing left and right.

[@TheHingshing]

@ we have enough homes now we’re becoming homeless from too many people coming in. The truth is the politicians who owns more than one home which is most of them benefit the most from keep a expensive property market

[@eat_ze_bugs]

@@TheHingshing There were no migrants coming in in 2020 but the housing crisis was already a growing issue since then. We can have zero migrants coming in and we would still have overpriced homes/rentals because the system itself is broken.

[@TheHingshing]

@ that’s totally different because we were in a lockdown. The domestic economy was failing because non essential services and workers were stuck at home.

[@eat_ze_bugs]

@@TheHingshing My point was that the lockdowns made little to no difference to the overall long term housing trend, most of the country wasn't under lockdown for long periods of time. WA was a prime example of this, only a couple months of lockdown but many migrants left the state and the average housing/rent prices did not improve. The reality is that property prices had already been rising higher than wages since the the early 2010s, I'm sure you can guess what happened during those times. Renting in 2018-2019 for many people was already struggle back then.
