Once an alternative is found (it will be, of that I have no doubt), a lot of the worlds problems will be solved. Many will be lifted out of poverty, our options in life will grow.
Slaving away to give half of your income to someone who happened to buy a centrally located house 20 years ago will no longer be required.
Yes, in the shorter term, I agree. I believe that cheap energy and autonomous aerial vehicles will drive the next evolution of transport, in the next phase of human settlement, which will be decentralisation. That combined with high speed holographic/life like communication technologies (currently in development in Florida,US) will see the middle class leave the cities.
In the longer term however, the birth rate will most likely grow with the new prosperity.

You clowns are forgetting the single most valuable thing in the universe is time. That's what being centrally located gives you. Unless you want to talk teleportation of people, there's no mass decentralisation coming. It's certainly not happening in jimbo's life time.
Instead of blowing your loads over imaginary technology you should be putting in a few extra hours to pay that rent next week
I saw that Perth property and the AUD were not the places to have my money. I was proven correct and I have profited from it handsomely.
Nonsense. Perth Property that you live in unencumbered is only not the place to have your money if you are not living in Perth.
You speculated a short term plunge would deliver you a "free upgrade" in housing. It didn't come. 28 months later and the rent you have paid has eroded every cent of price fall and exit cost you have paid, let alone stamp duty to buy back in.
You could have made the same US$ investments without selling your family home if you were smart.
You then took a wedge of that handsome profit and turned it into an equally handsome loss speculating on another currency play that you smugly claimed was like taking candy from a baby because obvious trades are all you do.
Every passing day just shows how "not smart" you truly are. In net terms you are poorer for your speculation. And a hypocrite to boot.

The mention of solar PV was in response to dollies claim that free energy technology didn't exist. It clearly does exist. It will also improve greatly (as all technology does) until something better comes along.
With so many organisations carrying out research into fusion, can you honestly believe that this problem will not be cracked in the not too distant future?
Once it is "cracked" the technology needs to be developed, tested, manufactured for mass consumption, consumer accepted and installed globally.
The "not to distant future" may be 50 years away. One thing is for certain you and I and probably every other poster or reader of this forum will never live to see its benefits.

The biggest issue with decentralisation is that you need to have infrastructure in the towns ahead of the people arriving.
Some lovely towns like Broome, Geraldton, Albany, Esperance, Exmouth in the west are not equipped to deal with a mass influx of population. They don't have schooling, housing, healthcare, recreation facilities, road at a minimum to cope let alone cultural and lifestyle attractors
A decentralisation of population does not decrease costs of housing, it increases costs of housing in those towns.
This is just another example of Dimshit not thinking a fart bubble through to the end and not being smart enough to see the shortfalls of his "argument"

It would mean property prices in those areas would boom and John would be in tears when his cheap house dream exploded in his face.

Did this happen with mobile phone or computing technology? Did we jump from the analogue landline to the 4G mobile in one step? You probably bought a desktop back in the late 90's with a 30gb HDD and a Pentuim II processor and dial up modem. Probably paid quite a bit for it as well. Now, a cheap mobile can access the internet, download movies, facetime with people on the other side of the planet, store your entire music library.
I am a keen follower of tech, but back in 1999, I wouldn't have thought we would be all carrying an all in one still/video camera, music player, GPS navigation touchscreen computer in our top pockets. Shit matey, back in 1999, I used to go to the bank at least once a week. Now, I don't remember what my bank looks like, it has been so long since I set foot in the place.
So what will we have 15 years from now?
Things you can't even begin to imagine today Matey.
Matthew, 30 Jan 2016, 09:21 AM Your simplistic view is so flawed it is not worth debating. The current oversupply will be swallowed in 12 months. By the time dumb shits like you realise this prices will already be rising.

True, I could have followed your horse race betting strategy.
But unlike you, I couldn't find a fantasy currency dealer willing to offer me can't lose odds.
I had to make my bets in the real world with real money.
Que sera..

I know it is true Dimshit. Everyone knows it is true.
Who is "everyone" matey?
Is is the sum of all of the people who inhabit your crazy warped mind?
The invented characters who cheerlead your posts on your insane blog?
Take a swim matey.

Dimshit anyone with half a brain (so we can exclude you from the pool) can see that in the absence of the price crash that you expected you are now worse off Financially than had you kept your house, taken out an equity loan and made the exact same trades at the exact same time selling out at the exact same time paying off the equity loan and banking the profit.
Rent has eroded the difference in opportunities.
Rent continues to worsen your position weekly in the absence of a house price crash.
You had a window where you could have been a god to the bears. Now it is obvious you are just another Flog.
My only hope for my three boys is that they turn out nothing at all like Chris.

Mathew if and i say that loosely if you had half a brain you would not peddle the stuff you peddle.

And i would live in this property, it is well positioned and in a good area, in my opinion.
$367,500 is the price it fetched in 2009
Now
Price Reduced... Be here first! Townhouse at Unit price in the Avenues!
Now from $359,000.
So back to the call 40% decline from peak to trough in "real" terms.
So lets be analytical of this property.
And again i say it is a very nice property and if I was not fully invested i would consider it. As in my world it is truly in the 40% off in real terms, let me explain.
We will very carefully list the costs of owning this property over the last 7 years.
1) Strata fees, water rates and council rates, insurance. Council Rates: $1,470, Water Rates: $1,090, Strata Levies: $400 P/Q Insurance???
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
