Immigration is not the problem, the problem is private corporations having our political parties ear and pay them the $$$ to benefit only private sectors, Gov stopped building housing in 2011, the housing crisis was not a issue until 2011, home ownership was 75% as the gov built homes and sold them to new buyers, the problem now is Private property developers pay out govs off to stop serving the people go about destroying any hope for the common Aussie to survive. Please keep in mind the News and Media outlets are Paid to report on whatever there told too by the Gov, try not to take everything the media mafia says as truth, because it's not the full story and they will spin whatever someone says that pays them to do it.
They are bringing in 1.4 immigrants per job and about 20 people per house. 290,000 homeless so far. With another few years under labor we could achieve a million!
immigrants are not the problem the problem is the last 20 years of lib and lab parties being bought off by private property developers to stop pubic social housing builds back in 2011, please check the facts
I don't think all those empty houses are necessarily owned by rich folk. Sometimes the owners may simply not have enough money to fix up the house to put it on the rental market. Houses can't be automatically placed for lease, it needs to meet certain standards. There could be many other reasons why a house has been vacant. It's irresponsible for Jordan to advertise empty properties to be squatted in when he is not aware of the circumstances of the owner.
.....Sure. But weighing that up against homeless people with nowhere to live or sleep, I don't think it's unreasonable to have my sympathies lie more with the less fortunate. The idea of forcing someone to sleep out in the cold instead of an unlocked house that has been unoccupied for a very long time....idk....The lack of empathy in that idea puts a sour taste in my mouth. The owner would need one helluva reason for not maintaining or using the property for me to go "yeah, That homeless mfer should sleep out in the winter cold. Eff that guy."
I mean if you can't rent it out just sell it rather than leave it to rot? This is why a high land tax is needed to replace stamp duty; currently such a poor use of land is incentivied instead of punished. People just hoarding land in desired areas and not selling nor renting just to profit from capital gains. Plus unless you are rich you can't afford to leave a house vaccant for years when you could sell.
Than they sell it if they don't have the money to fix it, simple, there are many people looking for a fixer uper home these days, it also fare to say, don't live past your means, meanwhile people are forced to live past there means so they don't become homeless because of this crisis which has been in the making for 20 years when our corrupt gov being paid off by private property developers, check the public housing build statistics, they stopped building housing in 2011, $$$ paid to Libs and Lab to stop gov developing housing. The Fix is there they choose to ignore it as they will upset there mates. and there pockets $$
the problem is the last 20 years of lib and lab parties being bought off by private property developers to stop pubic social housing builds back in 2011 and line there pockets. why change the cash cow?
There is a luxurious 5 bedroom family home sitting vacant just 5 minutes from the beach here in WA. That home has been vacant for the last 15+ years. Every 3 weeks the gardens are cared for. To the unknowing on the street, well they just don't know. They don't know that the home is owned by a Chinese company, that no one has lived, nor may never live in that home again. Over the course of the last 15+ years I have been homeless twice, I have thought about thar vacant home.....But that was someone else's concern, my concern was I needed accommodation, and it was my duty to myself to get accommodation. Homelessness is no excuse to steal from someone else.
12-15 years of landbanking? Why isn't it 2 years? And when Landlords pretend they are waiting on "development approvals, rinse & repeaters", why can't Councils flag those landlords on 2nd DA application? Repeat offenders? Stage up their Council Rates?
Thank God I inherit what my parents took years to pay off. Even so, as an old person try getting help in Australia! It does not exist. Too many councils, and administrative staff ( they have sunk Australia) to deal with!
I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?
If owners are forced out by council laws, because their property is not fit for habitation, why dos council alow sqaters to take up residence, council should patrol these properties and enforce the law.
Because renting it out when its unfit for habitation is against the law not only fines are imposed but you can be jailed for putting a person in harm, the lease is a signed agreement between two parties despite the Owner/Real estate not following it, however Squatters are not paying rent there for there is no legal transaction occurring, That being said, if a propriety is abandon and the squatter gets injured as the property was not correctly secured and sign up saying do not enter, the owner can be liable, but hay owners will not advertise a propriety that is abandon, that lets the council know when to rack up the cost of land tax etc. its a gray area.
If you unlawfully enter or break into a house in nsw you can be jailed for break n enter, quoting i want squatters rights wont get you anywhere. Squatters !aws were amended a decade back! Owners can also physically evict you!
you haven't looked at the law in a way, it's only illegal if you break in, if the property IS NOT secured than it isn't breaking in, just like you leaving your front door wide open and not being home, and your items get stolen, the only law broken there is theft, not breaking in....
You ever heard of trespassing, Ya u have 'well id be super carful my good man. n not forgetting heir in australia the law comes down on ppl quite hard mate 'trust me \Yes we are all about laws in the country coming from a penal colony
Stop importing uber drivers
We don’t have a housing shortage we have an immigration problem
Stop bringing more people in. And stop kicking people out that have lived here 40 years

then you sell it to somebody who can afford to fix it up???
owning an abandoned property is utter incompetence.

$80,000 stamp duty tax on purchase of average home in Melbourne..One of the main reasons there's a housing crisis.. .Its over the top

Affordable homes in Australia is a huge issue
If we had a stable population and adjusted policy supply would keep up with demand. Our populations booming though.
Now you know how the Balinese people feel.

What's the point ,the likely hood of not being asked to leave is nil

If you’re going to squat long term, at least improve the place and treat it like a proper home.

Oh well, you can't take it with you. Why the need to be so greedy? Be happy with what you've got.🥴
I’m mad as hell!!!
and i'm not going to take it anymore!!!
