Comment on Could a tax against empty homes help end Australia's housing crisis?
veroxii@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s already everywhere. Places like Wollongong and Newcastle have the same housing issues as Sydney. Sometimes even worse. And even further out to places like in the Maitland and Cessnock council areas people can’t afford rent anymore. And every new vacancy has hundreds of people showing up.
In fact local people are suffering more as cashed up Sydneysiders are swooping in paying the “cheap” rents which are already double what they were pre covid.
