Tell me blonde, so the solution to bulging public housing waitlists is to insist that people who cant work ( the old and disabled) should be forced to get jobs anyway?
Think about it now...
Oooohhh Veritas
I'm not saying those who need to be protected should be forced to work, but why hope for a bloody house crash where there will be devastation??
The govt has been incompetent in the public housing...it's disgusting to see new homes being destroyed or sitting idle.
That is shit.
I say no to spoon feeding to those who can work & wanna bludge off the system.
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do. Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.

So now you don't agree with Timmy's absurd statement.
Maybe you should have recognized how stupid Timmy's comment was before agreeing with him?
Just a thought.
Property acquisition as a topic was almost a national obsession. You couldn't even call it speculation as the buyers all presumed the price of property could only go up. That’s why we use the word obsession. Ordinary people were buying properties for their young children who had not even left school assuming they would not be able to afford property of their own when they left college- Klaus Regling on Ireland. Sound familiar?
The evidence of nearly 40 cycles in house prices for 17 OECD economies since 1970 shows that real house prices typically give up about 70 per cent of their rise in the subsequent fall, and that these falls occur slowly. Morgan Kelly:On the Likely Extent of Falls in Irish House Prices, 2007
Look at the US - did all the working poor swoop in a buy houses?
No. I didn't say "all" did I? Idiot. I said "many". Moron.

The answer to housing is for people to get jobs. it really is that simple.
The article isn't only about the jobless:
'"Some of our recent research has shown us that even child carers, tradespeople, people working in hospitality, cannot afford rents. And that's not just inner-city areas, that's across Melbourne."
In the past five years, capital city rents have risen at twice the rate of inflation.'
What it's saying is that with rents going up disproportionate to inflation and wage increases, it is much harder now than ever before for people on low incomes to find affordable accommodation. Not everybody can earn a very high wage, and if they did, housing would increase to even higher levels.
As for the heading, "Affordable housing no longer on political agenda," when was it ever on the political agenda? Maybe years ago, when they built those ugly blocks of council flats, but over the past few decades, with their snouts in the trough, politicians are too entrenched in making profits from their own investments, and since Australia has now become one of the most expensive countries in the world for housing, they are intent on keeping it that way.

No. I didn't say "all" did I? Idiot. I said "many". Moron.
How about 'any'? Did any of the working poor suddenly manage to keep their job, get credit and buy a bargain? Did the people waiting for the big crash have all their dreams come true?
And another thing, there seems to be plenty of accommodation for the boat people. I guess they have priority over Australians, as do the immigrants flooding in and foreign investors also making housing unaffordable. But that's the aim, isn't it, to keep housing unaffordable. Not to mention negative gearing, which also pushes up prices out of reach of ordinary have-nots. So it's clear that the political agenda is to keep housing unaffordable, and it will probably remain their agenda unless something happens, but I'm not quite sure what.

Yes. Many of them did.

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.
