My backstory for anyone interested - when I started supporting more density so more inner city neighbourhoods would be buzzy and interesting like Kings Cross - a detached house in middle Sydney was $350k.
Replying to @pfh007
Im an urbanist (aka yimby) but it has to be part of a coordinated approach of supply AND demand measures to result in housing affordability. I became interested in urbanism because I wanted lively neighbourhoods, not because I thought density alone would sufficiently reduce cost

Sydney Trains avoids catastrophes like this by being overly cautious at minor signal failures, I now understand 🙏🕯️ major delays are better than the alternative. Very sad.
Ce qui s’est passé en Espagne est catastrophique. C’est incompréhensible. D’autant qu’il y a déjà eu des précédents ☹️

Charming commentary on working class regional Australians from Greens voters on a completely incorrect post from a Greens MP about One Nation wanting to cut backpacker numbers (they don't). Just normal progressive things. They love punching down.

Metro delays toward Sydenham, T8 customers that complained about the new timetable should be refused entry to city circle stations 🤗

Public spaces and transport set their air-conditioning cater for young gym going males that walk/run everywhere and hormonal women rather than 80 year olds who are freezing all the time and should just wear a jumper challenge

If a bus route is running 14 minutes late in non peak traffic at 2pm, your transport department should probably do something about that... #OxfordSt #NotTheOneInLondon

People standing in front of the bus doors (and not getting off next stop) when there are seats available is very fucking annoying too

People that maxxed out their borrowing capacity to secure PPOR above asking also contributed to worsening housing affordability

And now they have the gall to complain about interest rates returning to *normal levels*? I'm not sure if worse than boomers tbh

Why do migrants to the west love these ignorant and disrespectful posts? I can't fathom moving to another country and calling its citizens idiots etc Unbelievable arrogance most westerners don't have.

Remember when you used to be able walk on the grass roof of Parliament House in Canberra? Stopping that should have been a major red flag....

Well, they should have built Green Square Town Centre when the market was hot... Time to lift their land tax.
'Property developer Mirvac has become the latest victim of the residential housing slump with sales of new homes plunging as the fallout from shock budget property tax changes and rising interest rates hit demand' 'Property prices fell at the fastest pace on record over the September quarter, down 4.7 per cent, with the downturn resulting in all capital cities falling in unison for the first time in 15 years' #ausbiz #housing #RBA theaustralian.com.au/busines…

Musing of the morning: funny that adults are full of excuses why they won't take public transport to their 9-5 yet ship their children off to the bus stop to the station to get to school and they manage fine 🤷

How long until progressives spin this as just bringing international diversity and talent into the business... ? They're already the useful idiots for corporate interests on most other topics.
'NAB cultivates tech talent in Vietnam, India as Australian jobs axed' 'The cost savings for NAB are immediate. A junior software engineer in Vietnam might cost the bank around $20,000 a year, compared to $80,000 or more to hire an equivalent Australian worker' (20% NAB workforce is already foreign based) 1/2 #ausbiz #NAB
