It's so strange having a YIMBY government.

Liberals Promise To Rip Up Homes And Lock Young Victorians Out

Today we announced how weā€™ll get more homes built in suburbs close to trains and trams.Itā€™s part of our plan to help deliver 300,000 homes close to jobs, transport, schools and services by 2051. Jess Wilsonā€™s Liberals didnā€™t hesitate.They ā€œguaranteedā€ they would ā€œrip upā€ these reforms ā€“ tearing homes away from young Victorians.They want to drag Victoria back to the same broken system that has locked up well-connected suburbs for 30 years.

@augustusbrown would it not be better to make property speculation less attractive therefore making more of the already available home available?

The fake gas and housing shortage is Australiaā€™s real crisis

Australia doesnā€™t have a shortage of houses, a shortage of gas, or a shortage of bullshit about housing and gas supply. Australia is one of the worldā€™s largest exporters of gas, but weā€™re often told we donā€™t have enough gas. Likewise, Australia has more houses and apartments -- in absolutes terms and per person -- than we did in the 1960s.
