I'm gonna take a guess and assume a decent portion of that is directly connected to the rising value of housing.

2019-08-19 17:14:29 UTC  

Yes

2019-08-19 17:14:39 UTC  

Good guess

2019-08-19 17:14:58 UTC  

We never really had a property crash in 08

2019-08-19 17:15:47 UTC  

I mean, we sorta kinda did to some extent, but pretty sure it almost entirely effected property held by banks rather than actual people.

2019-08-19 17:16:40 UTC  

I'm talking about here, being australia

2019-08-19 17:16:52 UTC  

I mean, really, in the end, it's fairly stupid to use property value as a proxy for overall wealth in any sort of situation where you're living on said property anyway.

2019-08-19 17:17:07 UTC  

Ah, fair enough.

2019-08-19 17:17:49 UTC  

There are people that can barely afford food and property taxes that are wealthy on paper because the house the family has owned since 1920 is theoretically valuable.

people should have their houses torn down

2019-08-19 17:20:19 UTC  

so everyone could be the same

2019-08-19 17:20:20 UTC  

...man, I thought housing prices were bad here.

2019-08-19 17:20:25 UTC  

that would eliminate the wealth gap

2019-08-19 17:20:37 UTC  

That's just painful. How much of that is due to Chinese investors buying up property?

2019-08-19 17:20:55 UTC  

I've heard here and there that they're buying a lot of land in some of those places.

2019-08-19 17:22:02 UTC  

Not as much as you'd think imo, but more due to taking in loads of migrants, not developing new areas, banks being fags, and boomers who see it as free money to buy houses

2019-08-19 17:22:33 UTC  

Mm. Mostly the same as in the US, then. A lot of the increase is population increasing way faster than new housing is being built.

2019-08-19 17:25:28 UTC  

Boomers are the worst :(

2019-08-19 17:34:07 UTC  

i mean older people also have made money for longer and bought more valuable things over time

2019-08-19 17:34:21 UTC  

Milennials are pure filth

2019-08-19 17:34:33 UTC
