Comment on Government urged to let Iranian women's football team stay in Australia until safety is assured
MisterFrog@aussie.zone 1 week agoI hate to pull the insulting card, but you started it:
Bro.
What don’t you understand about 420 dwellings per 1000 inhabitants being higher than 377 dwellings per 1000 inhabitants?
Did you fail year 6 maths?
What are you not understanding here? Where do you get off implying I can’t read graphs when clearly you don’t seem to understand the concept. (Or just refusing to acknowledge it?)
More likely, you’re just too stubborn to admit that your pre-decided “reason” for the housing crisis is bullshit, and you’re just spouting numbers without actually bothering to look up the source. You just feel it’s those pesky foreigners.
I really hope it’s not that you innumerate. Would be a scathing indictment of our education system

Do you think that if inflation drops from 3% to 2% that things got cheaper?
We’re still bringing in significantly more people than we’re building houses to support. Building 400 houses when you brought in 1000 isn’t enough lol.

No wonder they’re able to lie to you. You haven’t understood the graph.
No, this is not the same concept. Inflation is increase in prices over a set period. (Typically given per year). It’s a rate of change. I’ll try spell out for you what the graph I linked to means, but it’s not showing rate of change per time. It’s showing a ratio of current houses, to current population for each given year.
This is total housing per person at the given year. NOT the rate of change.
Let’s take the reciprocal fractions, maybe you’ll get it then…
In 1990 there were ~2.65 people dwelling (1000/377). In 2022 there we only ~2.38 people per dwelling (1000/420). At that date, not rate of change like you’re imagining.
I’m really hoping you understand now, that per person there are MORE houses than there were 30 years ago, but this hasn’t caused the price of housing to drop because this hasn’t translated into more available houses (because of aforementioned hoarding) and because of commodification of housing.
After this I’m gonna give up, and be sad that people didn’t pay attention in maths because they “weren’t going to use it” ☹️
