Dave JIce-cold take: a tenant who can afford Bulimba’s median $1225/week house rent isn’t in #housing distress, let alone one who can afford the median $2.3 million purchase price.
How about building dwellings for people genuinely priced out of adequate housing? Why not actually address #WealthInequality, rather than merely shift the blame for decades of poor policy?

BellingenNSWAustralia’s 178 billionaires are $25.7bn richer than last year as 3.7 million live in poverty
"Oxfam finds the 20 richest Australians now hold more wealth than the bottom 3 million households."
“There is something fundamentally wrong with a system where extreme wealth keeps skyrocketing while so many people are struggling to afford the basics, and governments claim there is not enough money for housing, healthcare, climate action and essential services." >>

Tucson Storytellers in Policy: Housing Affordability · Our Voice Our Vote Arizona
Our Voice Our Vote's Storytellers in Policy is a space for members of the community to come together and learn about the Federal Government, State Government, and Local Government with a critical lens. Have you ever wondered, "Why are groceries so expensive?" "Why did the price of gas spike?" this is because of the actions of the United States governing systems. Storytellers in Policy is not only about learning about the institutions that govern our communities but about knowing what steps to take to engage with this system. This session is specific to Tucson and Pima County on the issue of Housing Affordability in connection to Our Voice Our Vote's Rent is Rigged Campaign. If you live in Tucson or Pima County and you want to learn more about how the government's actions impact housing, we would be happy to have you!
