Boomers and/or Young People Suck

[Sanders]

is there any reason why you wouldn't just compare wage increases to house price increases over the decades and see if they're out of wack rather than using individual examples? or am i missing something

Are house prices commoditised into a single, fungible token or unit of value?

Why would you compare house prices in Unley Park with Lonsdale

 

[StonesThrow]

Ah yes, but don’t wanna do that

Grew up in northern suburbs I bought a house there when I was young and stupid. Thanks for judging

See how the other side of town lives - Hackham Villas awaits!

well you wouldn't, but I assume something like plotting the median or entry level houses prices over decades versus wages would be the way to go!

 

[1970crow]

Sorry, but you're completely wrong.

Here's interesting data for each capital city since 1970.



Median income to house price ratios have drastically risen across Australia with Sydney the worst, rising from 4.5 times median annual income to over over 12, meaning that you're paying interest to the bank for an extra 7.5 years.

Is that capital city analysis only?

It's also just a horrible mindset to have. "things were s**t for me, they should be s**t for you too". I'm okay with people complaining about bad things that happened to them but it shouldn't be used to dismiss other people with similar concerns.

Aren’t you pissed that shit wasn’t as bad for the boomers as it is for you?

3rd bedroom, two sets of bunk beds, rent it out to Asian students, $100 a bunk, probably has a shed on the property too, not to hard to get a few bunks in there.

Looks a bit extravagant for a share house with 1 mate. Plus his is nicer. We paid $320/wk for 3 bedrooms in prospect before leaving SA in 1998. $800 sounds about right 25 years later.

I grew up in Morphett Vale, I am very well aware of the locale’s charms

My older bro and his wife lived in Hackham in their early married years, and I lived near Mansfield Park as a kid.

To this day I still can't quite decide which of Arndale or Collonades is worse

My mate used to do security at Elizabeth and Colonades shopping centres. I asked him which area was worse and he said "Pretty much the same just the guys in Elizabeth know their sister is off limits"

Things aren't bad for me.

Elizabeth is a low bar.
I always thought the Elizabeth crims would steal cars that Port Adelaide crims thought not worth stealing.

 

[relapse]

It's Huntfield Heights now. Very posh.

It's similar to how they changed Elizabeth West and Elizabeth Fields to Davoren Park.

Same shit, different name.

Not sure about the shops but location wise, Arndale is worse. People can say what they like about Collonades but Noarlunga is just a stones throw from gods country. Arndale is a stones throw from the hell of the northern suburbs (and Port Adelaide).

Malcolm Blight territory wasn't it.

No they just don’t keep any money in their transaction sccount.
Which is ironic as they are worried about online theft yet happily use card for everything.

That's not a credit card. That's a debit card.

And if the details are stolen but the account has no money in it, you can't lose any money.

Of course you could just get a credit card then the bank is on the hook.

Edit: oh and 7 years working at the old Big W (though nearly 20 years ago), if Colonnades is worse than Arndale I'm staying well away.

Depends - did you use to take in the sights along Hanson Road on the way home?

The South has its junk food corner, Arndale has its own local delights.

Junkies corner?

There is a position in a rugby union side with the same name as the 'ladies' of Hanson Road

Seems Australia isn't the only country with housing/ímmigration issues either.

One does wonder what her living conditions were wence she came from?

Yet she won't leave though...even though its 'so bad' there. I'd say, close the door on your way out and lose the map how you got there

So the magic year is 2030

All Boomers will have turned 65, the oldest over 80, Australian life expectancy 83.

gen Z take over ?
