The talk is to increase the size of Melbourne to 5.5 million people however we already have land shortages within 30km of the city? Surely any gains in economic output through economies of scale will be lost by the increased cost of housing for the young (I guess the majority who already own their house and made a fortune for living in it will benefit)? Shortly the only people capable of purchasing houses will be these people wanting to make more money for increased demand for rental properties from increased population and renters unable to enter the property ladder. As rent will be all that some can afford, the gap in wealth will continue to increase between land owners and renters. Why don't we slow immigration to sustainable levels that we can build infrastructure to support and remove negative gearing on residential property and directly subsidise the renters that require this assistance and not the landlords. This will increase the supply and lower the cost of houses through our ability to develop enough supply for the increased population. Along with the sell off from investors as tax breaks can no longer be received. These changes will allow renters wanting to buy into the market a chance to realise their dream of owning a house, a dream I don't think should be out of reach no matter what generation you were born in. Thank you! Why are we choosing to increase our population to improve economic output at the cost of young working Australians ability to purchase their first home?
