More than real estate ownership: real estate speculation as an investment strategy
What proportion of properties actually have foreign owners and how many of those are vacant?
I see people point at this all the time but I never see numbers. I feel like the financialisation of housing, negative gearing, capital gains discounting, and underminding of public housing being more than enough to completely fuck shit on their own.
Rent got high enough it matched the interest on a loan for me… so now I’m a home owner.
Understandably not everyone is in that position but I hope we can boost home ownership rates or we’re in for a very bad time.
I don’t know why that would be the case. We’ve been giving the landlords everything they want. Are you telling me that landlords will just keep on increasing the cost of housing because they can? Surely not /s.
We dont build homes to house people, we don't grow food to feed people. We don't generate electricity to cool or warm people.
If you have no money you starve, are homeless and shiver to death in a cold spell... or you're a "criminal" and every election reinforces that with who we elect.
There are zero answers here within the orthodoxy of neo liberal economics and politics.
