Hrm, ultimate positional good hey, hmm, no idea, I tend to eschew popular anythings. Probably the latest iPhone, though really, only for fake, shallow people.

I guarantee y'all that one of the first questions people up here ask you is what part of Brisbane are y'all from? ie what suburb.
It's crazy.
You sound quite insecure. Location does not maketh the man, but it sure does indicate whether they are a pwetetious twat or not and or the debt levels one can be in. (Depending on income of course)

Friend, I don't think so but then again, I don't usually sit in judgement of myself, but since you said it, I wonder what background you had growing up. Still, I won't judge a man by that, but I do wonder why you're so aggressive about it like a bit rabbit. I live in the CBD but did once live in Surfers Paradise in the center there also. I like it here better. I don't think that's being defensive now, is it?
I think that many people here do talk about suburb, as if their precious little suburb is the end of the world. I guess if they put 30 + years of their lives, 60+ if you take couples, paying off the mortgage, it is the end of the world for a lot of folks out there. But the reality is that the quality of housing aint that good, and there are a lot of ghetto factors at play. I wouldn't live there if you paid me and I've lived in the ghetto friend, back when I was young before I even came here.
There are people in Watts and Imperial Courts with 1. better housing 2. better amenities 3. better transport than some of the "prestige" suburbs here in Brisbane Town. And at least they are 30 minutes from the center of one of the biggest cities in the world, and have real choices about where to go and where to live. They also don't pay half a million dollars to live there. Here in Brisbane Town, all kinds of people are paying a lot of money to live in a "prestigious suburb" It makes a grown man cry friend.

I think you mean rabid? Judgmental? No, you have me mixed up with crazy dave and several other rabid bears.
I made a comment based on fact - many insist on living in suburbs they judge to be better than others but they find they cant really afford to live in those suburbs and complain insessantly about the price. Logic says the reason they cant afford it is because they are not "blue chip" themselves.

I have no idea what you are rabbiting on about - defensive about what again?

Like I said, the only grown man who would cry about the cost of living in a prestigious suburb is a pwetentious twat wannabe.
People who can "actually" afford prestige don't care.

Not worth commenting because you can't counter the points made, friend?
Or is it because you have a definition of blue chip that's different to anyone I might know. You see, the world aint all about one standard, but I will say one thing, there aint much in the way of Prestige in all but a few places.
Do you seriously think a person from 5th Avenue would regard anything in Brisbane Town or Sydney as prestige?
I doubt it.
You come across as an Aspie (aspirational) yourself there Frank. What's got to you?
And don't you agree that in any normal society, people do regard their suburb as a positional/veblen good? What I want to know is this: is it all about the suburb for these folks, or is it about being a landlord?
You would be in a position to know, what with your talk of blue chip, prestige and what not from the lofty heights of your empire there in... where is it again, 5th Avenue?
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.

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.
