It actually makes a lot of sense as we are now a fully multicultural city and the decision for a big population was made in the early 2000s, but it hasn't been a slow progressive crawl, in the 2010's the urban sprawls became huge quite quickly and it changed us into one of the busiest cities in the world in terms of having busy traffic for 1-2 hours outside of the city in all directions. The main problems is the planning and preparations needs to come before the big population spurts occur. If you don't plan new housing, new cities, new suburbs and new roads for the growth then it's a bandaid solution at best and it's likely also about keeping our wealth growing and housing assets at a premium cost. The who pay the price is going to be Gen Y/Z and beyond, and i haven't seen any real assistance for first home-buyers, because entry level housing is so expensive now, that it's starting to make the FHB Grants become redundant in their purpose, it's a bit of a help, but really the younger people do need something akin to unlimited access tot heir super, whilst it's not ideal, a roof over their heads is better that having a bit less cash-flow in their retirement years.
