@kauer So by that reasoning, houses are built for landlords and investors, not people who need somewhere to live. First home buyers are priced out before a single brick is laid, because the entire system is oriented around making property attractive to capital rather than habitable for humans. That's exactly the problem.

The Great Australian Dream, Deferred

With deposit timelines exceeding 11 years and first-home buyers priced out of 88% of homes, Australia's housing crisis demands urgent reform.

This report reads like a Property Council press release rather than analysis. Falling prices in parts of Melbourne are framed as a crisis, when for decades the real crisis has been housing becoming completely unaffordable for ordinary people. Victoria is one of the few states actually trying to increase supply, tax speculation and take pressure off renters and first home buyers. Of course the property lobby hates that. Affordable housing is not a nightmare for the public, it is only a nightmare for investors and developers who rely on endless price inflation. A correction after years of excess is not failure, it is overdue.
