‘If you don’t like it, leave’: renters priced out of their homes as landlords pass on costs of RBA rate hikes

That's cool mate, you gonna pay for all this public housing? Where you gonna build it? In the city I fucking doubt it since that land is gonna be worth so much more being utilised for something else which when taxed would contribute more for welfare then the public housing would. I've seen what happens when you put people up for free in apartments in the city.

During the pandemic they put them up on a whole floor in a high rise to keep them off the street. My friend was scared to go up by herself cause they were constantly passed out in front of the building, fighting in front of the building or just doing junkie shit in the elevator like asking her for a ciggy and gettijg agressive when she doesn't have one.

Build it out in the suburbs? Well there's no need cause there's new estates popping up all over the north and west but people don't wanna live that far away.
