Default Its more then just housing affordability

Its not just sky-rocketing prices we are dealing with .Shortage of housing

for many couples and families and ,also massive waiting lists with Administration
of Housing and local real- states . Crisis will deepen before it gets better in this State or other
states for that matter . Many landlord's are exploiting this factor knowing
full well their is a shortage in market place for housing so they continually bump
up price because it leaves people with no choice to pay that extra increase otherwise they'll be on street or in many case's in their cars or tents.

Perhaps some people should get out their ivory tower's and sniff the coffee and see what is really happening on ground ,instead pretending do know what really
is happening .

I am not sure how they done this survey and what cities did they compare us with. In Melbourne we have suburbs that skyrocketed in price and would require a huge mortgage to buy in.
However, there are plenty of affordable suburbs as well.
One thing survey is not likely to address - people often don't buy from the scratch but trade-up.
In other words, I'd be sceptical about this survey.

I know many landlords who are/were struggling to get tenants. It's a two way street, and there is a huge different between inner and outer suburbs.

But I agree state government must relax zoning and planning regulations, release more land and allow more multi-apartment blocks in the inner suburbs.

It isn't. It is controlled by banks. They do it by assessing the "worth" of collateral such that it facilitates the creation of credit. This has an IDENTICAL effect to the printing of money.

Collectivism, on the other hand, allows ruling elite to live in luxury when the rest is in absolute poverty.
The free market USA has one of the highest disparity of wealth on the planet. (IG = idiot)
The short answer - it does not have to be. Some economists argue that [printing money] breeds inflation.
ALL economists say that.

will make life much worse for those that work in "sweat shops" (as it pays better and provide better condition that what they had otherwise).
12hrs a day at a bench is better than 8 hours in the field????
It'll make few capitalists richer by protecting them from competition - exact opposite of what you would like to achieve.
The capitalists cannot be better off with a 90% luxury tax in place.

I cannot believe you believe Green is extremist. If you do, you are not educated, Maybe you should be a trolley collector or be flipping goldenbergers.

PHK EM. Landlords are parasites. They should just sell the property.

Yep. A system of laws and taxes that allow 40% family break down is a major phk up.
