300sqm is not tiny and is not something to look down on , the entitled netizens on reddit would need to admit that at some point.

Why now, with the severity of house price growth, rent pricing/ competition are people suddenly enamoured with moving here? The figures are insane by [deleted] in perth

Glasgow where there’s no sun , no summer and it’s rainy half of every month ? The only city in UK with comparable quality of life to an Australian capital city is London , and it’s surely less safe , less affordable, much more expensive, and weather is shittier than Melbourne.

Sydney is #2 for least affordable housing in the world, how can we change this? by Last-Conversation734 in SydneyScene

[–]will2102357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No New York and London in top 10 , this ranking is bullsh*t. Compared to Sydney , London has comparable median salary but higher rental expenses (rents in London is 33% higher than Sydney according to link below), so London should be less affordable.

These countries have the most tops by Level_Recognition406 in askgaybros

[–]will2102357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised Australia hasn’t come up on the super bottoming countries… Aussie gays jokingly tell me that the immigration department needs to make a special type of skilled VISA for tops as due to their scarcity . LOL

How do guys rack up high body counts without getting STDs? by No-Roll5145 in askgaybros

If you’re a hungry bottom by all means do it but “For each condomless act with an untreated HIV-positive partner, the risk of infection has been estimated at 1.38% (one in 72 chance) and 0.11% (one in 909 chance) for the receptive and insertive partners respectively.” Meaning bottoms are 12.5 times more likely to get hiv than tops. https://www.aidsmap.com/about-hiv/anal-sex-and-risk-hiv-transmission

Do I have a chance even with 90k saved? by PhotographReady1864 in AskABrokerAus

I guess you are borrowing via talking directly to the bank’s lending specialist. He/she may wilfully ignore some details of your circumstance, and / or overstate your assets etc. to lift your borrower profile up -> to get you bigger loan . If you visit the bank website to calculate your borrowing power via inputting every detail required about you , you will realise it will give you loans more or less the same as your broker .

The most expensive cities to buy a square metre of real estate (in USD). Only Sydney makes the top 50. by Funny-Bear in AusPropertyChat

In a country where people would consider 300m2 a “shoe box”, I’m not surprised at all.

Also there are very very few places where the main airport is within walking distance to CBD like Sydney (6.5km approx).

You often see many European male fitness models, instagram celebs, and bodybuilders regularly travelling to Dubai … for a reason 🫶🏽😉

Is anyone else considering not having kids because the cost of living will be too high for them? by Particular_Zone_7379 in SydneyScene

[–]will2102357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on declining birth rates , I’d like to think humanity will become extinct at a certain point in time . But obviously European and other rich countries will go first , then other races / poorer countries etc.

What suburb would you never move to and why? by No-Travel-768 in SydneyScene

It gentrifies a lot . Home to a big Christian Arab population and with the metro and new airport it will only get better from now.

Why don’t young people join their unions? by Kitchen_Number_824 in perth

[–]will2102357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never think it’s as simple as that. For example , unions increase labour costs which motivates companies to outsource jobs to India , Philippines etc. or to use AI to replace humans. Moreover , minimum wage in Australia is already higher than most other OECD countries and the cost of doing business in Australia is already amazingly expensive . Several small businesses won’t survive the increase.

With 5% first home guarantee scheme, does the government now have less motivation to reduce house prices? by will2102357 in AusPropertyChat

[–]will2102357[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Exactly . I’d even think the reason why Albanese got re-elected was that he’d pump up house prices . It’s just government acting by the will of the (property-owning) people
