Shit’s fucked. Could be a scam too. Apparently common on Facebook at the moment people advertise a room or something like this and then when people start messaging they ask for the first week payment to secure it before everyone else.
So they get a dozen or so people’s $200.
I don’t think listing is meant as somewhere to live (I hope) I think it’s meant for someone to rent to go on a roadtrip/camping with
Tell ‘em they’re dreaming!
They may not be dreaming. Rent elsewhere can easily be $450 per week.
remember that this is easily fixable, all it takes is the government funding housing construction.
Housing issues are a problem that the politicians decide we should have, stop giving them your votes.
Fixable, yes; easily, no. One of the problems is land availability near services and transportation. The second is zoning laws which are not aligned with creating affordable housing. Both if those are processes which will take decades to truly solve, even with consistent, continuous vision and plan.
Am I poor or desperate enough to think that 800/mth is on the high end of reasonable?
Although paying rent every week like they do in Australia is crazy to me still.

For a caravan in the driveway of someone’s semi-rural property?
Sadly that’s about how much it would be where I’m at.
$800/month?
This would easily be $2000/month in BC, I’ve seen tons of ads like this
For only $800 a month, you can be homeless if you work hard enough!
I read that everywhere is having housing problems. Why is that?
Greed, capitalism.
I was thinking of moving to Australia and this fears me
Ugh to many spiders for me to ever think about moving to Bluey world.
It should.
Wow, that sounds downright affordable compared to my rent.
Yeesh. I wonder how many people are doing this, renting out their caravans like this.
I know a few people living in them and similar odds and ends. Lots of trips into the house for amenities, some pissing into a jug because the walk is too long for regular bathroom trips
Is Brisbane this bad? Have heard of syd, melb and cbr being like this but somehow assumed things were netter up north.
Yeah it is, most rooms are 200+ in the inner suburbs, 3 bedrooms are easily 6-800/wk. I was somewhat depressed by the number of people bombarding me with offers when we had a spare room to fill.
Whoa. Thats messed up
Sadly it is. I regularly go into Brisbane and have seen the amount of folks sleeping rough at least triple in the list couple of years.
