Finally someone talking about housing AND productivity instead of blaming immigrants. Ffs, our infrastructure is a joke and councils just sit on their hands.
Facts. But councils protect property values not people.
Yeah nah, another think piece from some bloke who probably owns three houses. Talk is cheap mate.
cope. Change takes time, doesn't mean we do nothing.
Tell that to my landlord who just raised the rent again. Productivity doesn't pay my bills.
real. Landlords don't care. They'll just pass costs on.

Thought this was about road deaths at first lol. But yeah housing is cooked, everyone knows that.
Mate the road safety bit is actually progress. We just don't notice slow improvements. Same could happen with housing if we actually tried.

Reckon the root cause is NIMBYs stopping density. Let us build apartments ffs.
oath. Sick of people with houses telling us to be patient.
Lunchtime reading and I'm already angry. Why can't we just build better cities? It's not rocket science.
Tbh the comparison to road safety is interesting. We fixed roads with regulation and enforcement. Maybe housing needs the same?
someone with some sense. Upzone the whole country.
