The great divide : Australia's housing mess and how to fix it

Kohler, Alan2023
Books
What caused Australia's housing crisis and how we might fix it. One of the great mysteries of Australian life is that a land of sweeping plains, with one of the lowest population densities on the planet, has a shortage of land for houses. As a result, Sydney's median house price is the second most expensive on Earth, after Hong Kong's. The escalation in house prices is a pain that has altered Australian society; it has increased inequality and profoundly changed the relationship between generations - between those who have a house and those who don't. Things went seriously wrong at the start of the twenty-first century, when there was a huge and permanent rise in the price of housing. But what actually happened? And what to do now? As Alan Kohler explains, the solutions are both complex and simple, difficult and easy: supply must be increased and superfluous demand reduced.
