(Landlords are always keen to increase the rent)
The #Brunswick and #Coburg apartments were approved on the condition that 60 per cent of the new apartments would be offered as 'affordable housing'. But Assemble owned by superannuation firms #HESTA and #AustralianSuper, reduced the proportion from 60 per cent to 20 per cent.

Industry reckons Labor's talk of rolling back the 50% CGT discount to pre-1999 days (think indexation + averaging) is not a problem. But let's be real—it's a rort for the rich, pumping up housing prices we can't afford. Treasury's Ken Henry says grandfathering it would just warp markets more.

Housing industry says capital gains tax discount changes set to have marginal effect on supply

Today we had our first board meeting for Sollentunahem!

We had an interesting discussion about parking minimums. They were introduced here in 2020.

https://www.sollentuna.se/trafik--gator/Parkering/parkeringsplan/

It is clear that parking minimums are making it very difficult to build new housing in Sollentuna.

Why should 50% of residents living next to a pendeltåg station be forced to pay for a parking spot they don't want?

See this great video by @strongtowns :

End parking minimums now!

In the same way the EVs are not the solution to our environmental and transportation woes, 3D printed housing is also not a solution the actual problems we are facing.

The #Toronto #housingCrisis is not just about unreasonable prices and rents, but about the quality people receive for their money - too many folks are paying exorbitant rents for unhealthy, infested and unsafe homes.

Now that will be visible at the door.
