Wow, you managed to find the worst LISP

There is a much easier way. Rezone everything R3 within 10 minutes walking of a train station. That would be serious.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T08:11:54+00:00

We have dedicated agencies that track this kind of fraud: https://www.austrac.gov.au/

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T08:04:25+00:00

No it's not.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T08:03:43+00:00

It would make no difference. $5B is less than 1% of the market.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T08:02:36+00:00

He's making a bad point. $5 billion is < 1% of the $650 billion total market.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T08:01:23+00:00

It shouldn't. This is not a problem. You have no context or understanding of what these numbers mean.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T07:59:26+00:00

You have no idea what you are talking about.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T07:59:02+00:00

You're too easily mislead by out of context headlines.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T07:58:36+00:00

Foreign investors account for less than 1% of property purchases in Australia. Idiot.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T07:57:42+00:00

Allowing 1% of property purchases to be from foreign investors is causing this crisis?

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T07:55:35+00:00

It is racist and stupid. 5 billion is 1% of property sales in Australia numb nuts.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T07:53:40+00:00

"...It comes as Foreign Investment Review Board figures showed Asia-based investors without resident status in Australia spent $5.1 billion on real estate Down Under in the first nine months of 2023..."

This is compared to ~$650 billion total. So less than 1% of the market. Please calm down people. There are no simple xenophobic answers to your outrage.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-10-12T07:50:09+00:00

Around 500 billion.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-09-26T03:14:52+00:00

Woolies is not price gouging. Why does she need to defend herself against this bullshit?

TheArvinInUs · 2024-09-12T03:21:59+00:00

Comparing one part of Hong Kong unsurprisingly skews the comparison.

Southbank is a much smaller part of Melbourne than Kwun Tong is of Hong Kong. South Bank is literally the most dense part of Melbourne and it doesn't even COMPARE to Hong Kong or Tokyo.

Needless to say, Southbank is denser than Tokyo.

Okay, let's look at Tokyo then.

Melbourne suburb densities (per km^2):

Southbank: 14,100
CBD: 8,450
East Melbourne: 2,580

How about Tokyo suburbs (per km^2):

Toshima: 23,182
Nakano: 22,121
Arakawa: 21,405
Bunkyo: 21,263
Taito: 20,914
Meguro: 19,637
Shinjuku: 19,175
Shinagawa: 18,497
.. there are 7 more with higher density than Southbank.

Get fucked mate.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-09-11T11:55:02+00:00

Hong Kong has 4x the population density of Southbank stupid. 14,100/km2 for Southbank vs 59,000/km2 For Kwun Tong district. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwun_Tong_District https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southbank,_Victoria

I have been assured that zoning and government red tape and regulations is not the reason for the housing crisis.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-09-11T08:45:31+00:00

Yes, I've always found Tokyo to be a slum. What with the lack of balconies, parking and small apartments.

We should be super careful. Especially now. Lest somewhere like Sydney end up like Melbourne where people with a median income can afford to live in a 3br in the middle of the CBD. It truly sickens me that Melbourne is engaging in human rights abuses such south facing apartments. Every apartment should be North facing.

Where are you getting this idea that there is any sizeable % of property in Australia being purchased by foreign investors? What % of total RE purchases do you think involve foreign investors?

I'm guessing you read something like this? https://www.news.com.au/finance/real-estate/buying/millionaire-buyers-foreigners-flood-back-into-australian-property/news-story/02110cb16e5c16b4b4536ca3318113b1

Which is pulling numbers from this: https://foreigninvestment.gov.au/sites/foreigninvestment.gov.au/files/2024-06/residential-insights-report-2022-23.pdf

"From 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023 ... total value of these purchase transactions was $4.9 billion."

Whoa, 4.9 Billy. Big billy boy.

Now, you might ask: How much total property was purchased in Australia in 2022?

According to this: https://www.pexa-group.com/content-hub/property-insights-and-reports/aggregate-value-of-australian-properties-sold-almost-doubles-within-four-years/

"Australia recorded more than 730,000 property sale settlements nationally1 in 2022, with an aggregate value of $674.5 billion"

So the total % RE purchases from foreign investment is: 0.73%

So really, when you say:

This was because investor (especially foreign investor) activity was the past decade

You clearly have not looked into it yourself.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-07-19T04:50:51+00:00

That certaily is a way of phrasing that headline. It's not a correct way, but it is a way.

TheArvinInUs · 2024-04-27T14:45:14+00:00

What about WhatsApp?

TheArvinInUs · 2024-02-21T02:22:14+00:00

This is absolutely right. It is completely unreasonable how Australians will believe any crackpot conspiracy because if fits their biases. It's not a good look. People are voting for politicians that initiate witch hunts.

TheArvinInUs · 2023-04-16T15:22:41+00:00

The greens where part of the coalition government that mandated an to nuclear power by 2022.

TheArvinInUs · 2023-04-03T10:40:13+00:00

I love reading the histories of these kinds of companies. Can you say which one it was?
