[philthy05]

Sorry to hear this is still giving you a rough time man, the country is in a ridiculous situation re housing.

Are you still thinking about moving back to Adelaide?

Yep.

though would have to be back in Sydney by June / July anyway.

Rural housing crisis: short-stay accommodation demand in NSW towns is dire news for long-term locals | Elias Greig

My mum, in her 60s, lives in a share house, while tourists to the NSW mid-north coast holiday in what could have been her home. What is wrong with this picture? Everything

****ing horrific story.


I just don’t see how this isn’t going to come to a head at some stage. There’s no sign of them doing anything to stop it and it’s just getting worse.

Sometimes things just keep getting worse and people just adapt.

It's naive to think it's going to come to a head and then things will get better.

Nothing will ever get back to pre-covid costs.

How on earth do people adapt to housing costs growing at an insane rate while wages stagnate?

Go into more debt? Lose their savings?


Those things have limits.

It’s more naive to think things are how they should be and the only way they can be.
The lie of conservatism.

 

[edgie]

People love conservatism. This is the second time in my life that a progressive government has won an election. I've grown up knowing very little but centre right to right governance. I hope the tide is turning, but I don't believe it yet. It's more, that moment in a bad hangover when you think you're feeling better, everything is clearer, then no, it's back, back again and not going away in a hurry.

They've utterly rigged things for the older generation at the expense of the youth. That won't be forgotten in a hurry. Every year more people turn 18 that won't ever vote libs in their lifetime. Every year more boomers fall off the perch.

Which progressive government won the election?
Labor? rogressive .

I guess by comparison just about.

 

[edgie]

Ain't no other party a snowballs chance of hell in this lifetime

If you give up on Labor being better than liberal may as well give up on Australia as a whole

They “adapt” into homelessness unfortunately.

Not quite. The reason the Libs operate this way is simple:

At 30 June 2020, there were an estimated 4.2 million Australians aged 65 and over (16% of the total Australian population).

This has increased from 1.0 million (8.3% of the total population) in 1970 and 2.1 million (12%) in 1995.

Coupled with a declining birthrate (1.7 per woman in 2021 vs 1.92 in 2011), the percentage of voters in the older demographic will be increasing for a while yet.

This is the second time you've repeated this demented "Every year more people turn 18" thought bubble. Yeah and every year another bunch of people turn 50 you idiot. Just because you never got over being a bitter loser doesn't mean everybody else doesn't.

 

[Doctor Feel]

It's pretty bold to assume 18 year old's immediately lean left, or stay left their entire life for that matter. It'll always be a tight enough race between ideologies.

The idea that people turn 50 and suddenly all turn into LNP voters is also bullshit. People may become more conservative about their own personal finances but they don't switch their ideals or political beliefs.

Becoming more concerned with personal finances is definitely related to political beliefs and ideals.
