Supply is at least part of the solution. Just we need way more of it. And way less of this short-sighted, inefficient, isolating, detached housing sprawl.

I'd put forward all new complexes be made x% public housing, that would put a dent in the problem, and also reduce stigma to public housing, because it'll be everywhere, and people are integrated into the community, not shoved all in one, under-maintained spot.

I really like that idea.

But it's way too egalitarian and giving everyone a fair go for Australia.

Ahhhh....dammit.... ๐Ÿ˜ญ
