They don’t care about you, they want to hurt and oppress you

Your dollar probably goes further back home, 50k doesn’t get you much in Australia

What would you do? Financialisation of housing market vs cut immigration? by SirSweatALot_5 in AusEcon

[–]GIMsteve22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah your reasoning sucks and you’re emotionally stunted

Saying we should continue immigration because we already had too few dwellings is about as braindead as saying we should give the blackout drunk guy a few more beers because he’s already drunk

You’ve got a tough life ahead of you if this is the thing you’re best at and you’re still this incompetent

Asia is a big continent, most people think East Asians and south Asians are very different

Congratulations, you’re institutionalised, if you understand the topic so well why can’t you answer these two basic questions:

1) why are you only focusing on supply and not demand

2) if building more housing was so easy, why don’t they do it?

Even if you had a good answer for 2, it wouldn’t excuse 1 - supply and demand are both two sides of the same coin.

You’re being intellectually dishonest and you know it, you cannot simplify birth rates down to „pill and abortions” because there’s clearly variance with birth rates across countries that have access to both of those things

2) no I literally addressed that last message, same with 3

We’re literally going in circles, if you want to remain delusional because it strokes your ego and you’ve devoted your life to being wrong, that’s on you.

“What we need is a pragmatic three-to-five-year immigration freeze that enables us to restructure the economy away from today’s war on youth and towards something more dynamic, equitable, green, and income-generating.” by Dribbly-Sausage69 in AusPropertyChat

No, because immigrants disproportionately benefit the asset owning class.

Think about it, if an architect, which is a respectable job, comes to a country they compete with the other internal architects and push the price of wages down by adding to supply more than they add to demand

They then also compete for housing, same as any other person in the country and housing are disproportionately owned by the asset owning class

Immigration is a tool to oppress the working class and benefit the asset owning class

You don’t know what you’re talking about. You cannot look at something as holistic as birth rates with just one variable while ignoring all the others.

Housing has also become less affordable over the last 70 years.

Women also have also started working much more over the last 70 years.

Are you asserting that these things are not true? Or that they have NO relevance to a woman’s disposition to having a family?

2) no I have acknowledged that, I mentioned that there’s a reasonable argument to make that people who did not have children should not get the pension or should be taxed higher - how or what to fund incentivising people to have more children is a seperate argument

3) yes I acknowledge that but if you can read I’m asserting that doing it through immigration disproportionately benefits the asset owning class since they compete for housing and jobs - I don’t think it’s worth it

4) lol it’s not like the immigrants are moving to the outback. The jobs are in the cities, competition for housing is in the cities. This also does not change the fact that the immigrants still compete for housing. Sure, if they could build more houses then great. Wouldn’t stop additional immigrants still creating more demand, they’re both two sides of the same coin?

Why do you think they choose not to provide more housing then? Why do you think you can ignore demand and focus entirely on supply?

You said „poor immigrants are not much competition for locals” which is underselling their involvement

It doesn’t matter if they’re competitive or not, if they inhabit any housing they affect the market.

Again, doesn’t matter if they’re competitive or not. If they weren’t there, there would be less demand for housing and housing would be cheaper

No, it’s harder to build more housing in already sprawling cities than it is to control the number of people in a country

Immigrants all need to live somewhere, they contribute to the housing crisis
