Affordable housing for all Australians

[Athtithan Haran]

Affordable housing for all

Enough is Enough, for a country as rich and as big as Australia the citizens who vote the goverments 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 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 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.

Is this because there is not enough land (i doubt it considering the size of Australia????

Is it because of low supply and high demand for housing ( well what u think middle class is cashed up lots of people working, there is not enough supply of houses, banks willing to lend millions, government providing incentives for people to buy houses e.g first home owner grant ) what u get you get a bubble in house priceses due to low supply of housing...WHY???? may be there are corrupt public servants who want to favour the few rich property developers and only release land when they feel like ...i really don't know why this is happening in a rich and big country like Australia

what i know is that due to low supply, lack of fast affordable public transport average
voter/citizen prefer to take huge loans to live inner city and to travel fast to and from work. They are willing to take huge loans over 25 years and get in to financial slavery for the rest of there lives. WHY ??????????

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 governments

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 big housing projects by the private sector in the west but these private sector funded projects inflate the prices of houses they build for profit reasons, they are not in the business of providing social responsibility and moral obligation for the under privileged.

Prive property developers 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 with more space and they can come in to work in very quick adorable way.

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 city) and scalable for future suburbs
-> Look in to other countries like china and see how they solve many of there problems(housing, healthcare, transportation) that in much bigger in magnitude than ours. and implement those projects here (e.g smart card cashless cities in south Korea)
-> Involve/force all levels of government to develop this nation by selecting big bang projects that are select on the basis they provided immediate and future benefits to all citizens(e.g snowy river hydro electric project)
-> Look after the interest of the voter rather than the private sector because votes elect government not private sector.
-> High home prices due to low supply is not good for anyone in the long-term will create a big homeless class.

WHY can't a country as rich and as big as Australia provide equitable affordable housing for all its citizens. Why should they be slaved they don't deserve to be.

I believe private sector with the co-operation of few in power are forcing citizens of Australia in to financial slavery for the rest of there lives the citizens of Australia don't have to be financial slaves and i believe the government have to will have to save these under privileged class who as a collective are the largest percentage of the population tax payer and voters.

Lets give the Rees govt a fair go. They seem to have good ideas and are working hard for a fair go for the battlers. The Libs will tax the poor to feed the rich. Lets give Nathan Rees a fair go.
