We're all making money, house prices are up, how good is that?


It’s disgustingly depressing for a generation who are looking at home ownership as unrealistic.

I make pretty decent money but buying a home anywhere that isn’t several hours commute away from my entire life is an exercise in finding the most cramped shit hole imaginable.

We’re a country of cities with tiny zones of walkable inner city surrounded by Suburban sprawl so extreme that for instance Perth’s metro area spreads the further than distance from LA to San Diego!


Can confirm, Melbourne is absolutely gigantic. No really, so big it didn't make sense to me.
