Sydney is facing a severe housing shortage, and owning a mansion seems like a distant dream for many. Meanwhile, there are sprawling, multi-million dollar homes across the city that have been left vacant and neglected for years. New South Wales tops the list for empty homes, with 22,000 vacant properties in Sydney alone. #HousingCrisis #SydneyRealEstate #VacantHomes #RentalCrisis #LandBanking #vacantpropertytax

A man's home may be his castle, but even castles aren't immune to neglect. If left to rot, they become vulnerable. While people can leave private #property vacant, it's always regulated by law for the community's benefit. With a #housing shortage, using unused #homes is more crucial than ever. #housingcrisis #rentalcrisis #landBanking #auspol #vacantpropertytax

If we taxed land properly, we'd have billions of extra dollars to fund big tax cuts elsewhere. So why don't we do it? #landtax #vacantpropertytax #auspol #homelessness

Are derelict homes part of the answer to #Australia #housingcrisis ?
Vacant homes like those on Alice St in Newtown, Sydney, highlight the issue of vacant properties. Despite recent minor refurbishments, these homes remain largely uninhabitable, mirroring a broader trend where the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates up to 140,000 homes are vacant nationwide. Factors such as delayed development approvals, #landbanking, and elderly owners holding onto multiple properties contribute to this phenomenon. Some states, like Victoria, have introduced taxes on vacant properties to address the issue, yet there remains significant debate and resistance from property owners and investors, leaving a substantial amount of real estate underutilized during a housing shortage.

Up to one in 10 homes may be vacant at any one time in #Australia, with #landbanking, #airbnb short-stay accommodation and legal matters just some of the reasons properties may be kept empty. So what's being done to help open more housing up to people? Could they ease the #housingcrisis ? #rentalcrisis ? #auspol #vacantpropertytax
