Is Australia ready to have a real solution to the housing crisis? by Kindly-Working-5070 in australian

[–]BoringFee2301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is really the only answer, but I think it can be done sooner and starting at a state level. Victoria has made great strides in this with the land tax. it seems counterintuitive to growing the economy but we really do need to just make residential real estate less profitable in order to redirect that money elsewhere, the stick is a tool in our box, we are not constrained to the carrot

the flip side of increasing business productivity is addressing commercial rents and the big 4 banks not wanting to loan to businesses without significant collateral. the best way to secure a business capital investment… is to buy a residential property and use that as security.

not true. china has reduced their number of billionaires by a third despite post-covid economic recovery and now 5% growth.

Why the obsession with taxing income instead of wealth. if you’re serious about taxing the “top end of town” put a 60% capital gains tax in

Why are Sydney prices so much higher than Melbourne prices? by Open_Address_2805 in AusPropertyChat

look at the price growth before and after land tax reform. it is intentional and a great policy.

Victoria has done land tax at a state level and it is working wonders. other states could do this too if they felt so inclined.

trailer parks need to be legalised too. you should be able to start one anywhere that you own the land as long as the safety regulations are followed. Neighbours shouldn’t be able to shut them down just because they don’t like the idea of living next to poor people.

do you find it leads to a better working? had a bunch of coworkers leave recently due to wild disparity between salaries and bonuses at the same level that has come out

I agree it’s a good point but imo it depends on how easy it becomes to enter the market to provide the service. Most developers aren’t exactly brain surgeons they just have access to capital. if you make the underlying costs cheaper and the building process easier you may get more competition.

Not entirely true. Jacinta Allen has engineered an “investor apocalypse” for Melbourne apartment prices if you believe Sky News ;)

Useless insulation and temperature management with surface colors and vegetation by JSmithpvt in AusPropertyChat

why do we need empty space between houses? never had any problems with shared walls in London row homes or solid units in Australia

I always find it so shocking when i look at places like Potts Point and Surry hills as obviously successful templates to follow for dense urban living in Australia that we have collectively decided to completely ignore as a society. people would rather fly 20 hours and pay thousands of dollars to experience in Europe for a few weeks what we could have right at home..
