| Enough is enough, for a country as
rich and as big as australia the
citizens who vote the govements in
are not being looked after.
why are average home price in
sydney is over 500000 dollars, is
this a joke ?
how can first home buyers or even
middle class (under 50k salary)
person ever afford to buy a house.
?
how can you be on single income
with your wife looking after the
kids ever afford a home with this
high price?
do the government want its
voters/citizens to take huge loans
to profit the banks and others and
slave the citizens for the rest of
there lives ?
when you buy your first home did
you know that you get ripped off by
everyone involved in the industry,
firstly by the owner who inflates
the price colluding with the agent
then all the government taxes stamp
duty legal costs then finally comes
the banks who lend more than the
average person can afford and put
them in real trouble financial
slavery basically for the rest of
there lives. does government know
this is happening ?
average citizen is being ripped of
and put in financial hardship for
the rest of there lives. private
sector institutions from transport
companies , real-estate agents,
property developer to the
homeowners all are colluding to
ripe of the average citizen why
does this happen why governments
are not protecting vulnerable
groups in our society?
average citizen can not even choose
to rent because again the rental
market is also inflated, this is
not a win win situation for
anyone.
we are getting to a situation where
average income earner is not able
to rent or buy a house or live in
major city of australia.
the mostly affected portion of the
population are low-income earners
and first home owners they have no
choice , they have pay high a price
for a accommodation either way
buying or renting.
can we get the private sector to
help with this no way they look
after there own interest they do
not have public,moral,humane
responsibility to look after the
citizens this is the responsibility
of our government.
we need governments to think for
the future plan for the future, all
levels of government federal state
local councils aligned with common
goals and objectives for future
expansions.
my proposal if implemented will be
model for the future government ,
i want this government to focus on
providing affordable housing(under
$150000 aus) for the one of the
biggest underprivileged group of
our society who are also the major
constituent of the population ,
taxpayers and also voters. they are
the first homeowners, middle/low
income earners .
these projects should be
government managed and on a not for
profit basis.
i know there are such big projects
by the private sector in the west
but these private sector funded
projects are not in the business
of providing social responsibility
and moral obligation for the under
privileged.
they are the primary culprits who
ripe of the average citizen why
cant our government look after us.
also major reason many do not go
live out in the west is the problem
of adequate fast transport to and
from work , from leisure activities
etc.
people in the west say penrith on
average spend over 2.3 hours
commuting to and from work each
day, they then spend on huge amount
of money on tolls to the motor way
and pay lots on fuel...why??? why
cant this rich country such as ours
look after the major percentage
and taxpayer of the population (low
,middle income earners)
i want this government to work/
with or force all levels of
government to provide affordable
housing for the low-income earner
(under $150000 ) also
transportation should be provided
in such a away that the person
travelling from these outer
suburbs(say over 50kilometes from
the city) should be able to travel
in to work at most by 30 minutes
(this has to be done for this
project to work ) because people do
not want to travel long-time to and
back from work.
may be look at other countries how
they have solved many of there
problem in a affordable way. may be
invest in bullet trains that can
travel at 300 km/h to get people to
and from these mega cities fast.
(look in to china with there
problems being 100 times the scale
of our problem may be they do
things better than us learn from
them how they solve there transport
problems, there housing problems
there health care problems may be
there are clues there that can help
us solve many of the problems we
see in our society)
planning development of these
housing projects should take in to
account
-> environmental factors (e.g
recycling solar , rainwater etc)
-> transport
-> healthcare
-> parks
-> schooling
the benefits are huge firstly you
create these mega projects lots of
jobs for the local industry,
secondly you reduce density for the
already over crowded intercity, and
most importantly you will see a
levelling off in the rises of
property prises in the intercity
suburbs as people would rather live
outer west w
this model can be replicated for
all the major cities and push
densely populated population to the
outer suburbs.
this all possible on if government
have a vision and focus and deliver
on the projects that people can see
real benefit.
if a government can act this way
there will be no third world
politics (people overboard,
utegate) at play in the parliament.
a government that is delivering and
growing the nation will always be
elected by majority , because at he
ground level where everything
happens people can see real benefit
that they can measure.
summary
-> i want this government to
develop scalable housing projects
for the underprivileged class
(under 150,000 land and home) on
not for profit basis (note this is
not subsidised housing) (
don't really care how this has
be to done but this is the
objective and implemented if you
want to house these people)
-> develop very fast public
transport that is affordable (under
30 minutes for a trip over 50
kilometres from the
The Government can probably do some more to assist, but the biggest problem is that people want to live close to capital cities. Until more people are happy living in Lithgow, Goulburn, Maitland and Jamberoo and travel into Sydney to work then house prices will never reach the level that I believe you are hoping for.
The government already provides public housing to those who are unemployed and quite simply I don't believe they are in the position to help any more beyond the first home owners grant and waiving stamp duty. As a general rule, if you spend more than 33% of your wage on housing (mortgage or rent) then you are living outside your means.
I bought my first house 3 years ago in a fast growing regional/rural area some 500km from the capital city. I expect that if I lived in Sydney, there would be no way I could afford to even rent there! I don't believe there would be any way the government could develop non profit scalable housing because private investors and developers are prepared to pay BIG dollars for their piece of the housing market.
Ultimately people, businesses and government departments need to look at other areas to live, work and operate a business outside capital cities. There is no reason your business couldn't be in Dubbo, Tamworth or Deniliquin - and these towns need more people anyway! This would be the ultimate WIN WIN situation for everyone. |
