Boom threatens the great Australian dream of a home - 0 views

    more boom and bust stuff from SMH - N.B. Senate Enquiry into affordable housing: "But housing affordability isn't just a problem for middle-class Australia. Concern about a lack of affordable housing has prompted a Senate inquiry - due to report in June - on the regimes of incentives, planning and funding that currently affect the supply of affordable housing for the country's most vulnerable and less well-off."

Housing blame game here to stay in world of infinite demand - 0 views

  •  
    "hey are not increasing affordability. They are not more environmentally sustainable. They are increasing housing supply, mainly for local and global elites to accumulate capital. A major consequence of the Australian government's taxation and regulatory regimes regarding housing has been to increase prices by encouraging demand for housing as a commodity, rather than a place to live. The various inquiries into the state of the Australian housing market should look at not just the regulations on foreign investment, but at the taxation regimes that encourage the home-grown approach. Most importantly the inquiries should ask: what is the effect of Australian regulation and taxation regimes on what is being built, and for whom?"

Real estate media: property journalism standards, ethics poor | Crikey - 0 views

  • Which brings me to an annual event which illustrates the failings of real estate journalism more than any other situation: the publication of a piece of self-serving propaganda called the Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey.
  • This document is political posturing by vested interests and should never be featured by any media outlet in Australia. It is published by a lobby group that campaigns for the end of government regulations that restrict the activities of land developers. The group argues that regulation causes prices to rise and makes homes unaffordable. It has created a political document masquerading as research to support their views.
