  3. Half of Australians aged 18–29 are still living with their parents, up from 39% in 2001.
    Then we wonder why the birth rate is falling and reach for the easiest answer: more immigration.
    It’s pretty hard to start a family when you’re stuck in the childhood bedroom, battling insane rents, unaffordable housing and insecure work.
    But apparently the priority is keeping house prices rising and developers making a fortune.

  9. This is the housing debate we should be having.
    For decades, Australian housing was allowed to become a wealth accumulation machine rather than simply somewhere to live. Older generations benefited enormously, while younger Australians face prices completely disconnected from wages.
    If house prices need to fall to restore some level of affordability, perhaps that isn’t a crisis. Perhaps it is part of the solution.
    A house should be a home first, an investment second.

  16. Are we already seeing the end of the housing downturn?

    Dear real estate agents,
    Given that your income depends rather heavily on house prices going up, should we perhaps treat your predictions about the housing downturn ending with a tiny bit of scepticism?

  26. More NZ election guff. I just reposted a piece about the housing affordability crisis, posted on TheDailyBlog in 2017;

    strypey.dreamwidth.org/8954.ht

    The political history stuff is still relevant, and sadly, not that much has changed in policy terms either. Grant Robertson and his allies in Labour came up with policy to address some of this, and pushed it through Ardern's Cabinet, but NatACT First mostly reversed it in their first 100 days.

  30. Australia’s 30-year housing supercycle was never the market, it was deliberate policy: negative gearing, CGT discounts, rate cuts, and taxpayer stimulus that turned homes into speculative assets and locked an entire generation out.
    Now prices are finally falling and the usual suspects are panicking that this time is different. Good. After decades of treating shelter like a casino for landlords and investors, a proper correction is overdue.
    Affordability for actual people who need somewhere to live is greater then paper wealth for those who already own.

  34. RE: humanwords.party/@pinhman/1170

    This is humbling for me to read. I've been involved in grassroots organizing, calling for community members to show up at public hearings to support housing density projects. Realizing that may not have been the best use of my organizing time is, well, kinda discouraging. But this is what learning is. So. Try stuff and iterate when you learn more. 🕺
