So it varies
@Beemann it's the same in VIC, and Melbourne specifically
Also high rents
mental illness is only like 25% I believe
Which is caused by foreign ~~interference~~ "investment"
rent control
and hyperurbanization
so yeah, it varies region by region
yea, cancel rent control. What is wrong with foreign investment
if you just 'homelessness in general' that's a pretty empty statement
It's a common thing you see everywhere now
Chinese buy up blocks and blocks of land
never live in them
at inflated prices
Wait for the value to inflate further
Councils calculate property value as per the inflated rates
Property taxes go up
People can't afford their mortgages/can't afford to buy a house to begin with
Rents go up because of higher property values
speculation in housing doesn't happen as much as people say it does. and we can just tax empty property
Of homeless people with mental illnesses
>doesn't happen as much as people say it does
kak
it is also really hard to find a number on it
yeah, taxing empty property
Did you really just ignore the other half of that wall of text I typed
yea do it
DID
YOU
JUST
Many of them are also using psychoactive substances
IGNORE
THE OTHER HALF
OF THAT WALL OF TEXT
READ YOU FUCKING ILLITERATE
"You have to live here to buy property here"
Oh look
oh wait
you think people shouldn't lose their house if they cannot pay their taxes
Why do you have to keep paying someone for something you supposedly wholly own?
