JBP posted:Does anyone in Sydney or Melbourne pay less than $200 rent a week? I guess if you're in a shareholder with 4+ people maybe? You can easily pay less than that if you live in Sydney's western suburbs, you're just a fair drive away from any of the major hubs. Commuting from the Central Coast might be easier.

Granny flats and studios are still $350+/wk there is basically no way to live as a single person in sydney on anything under say 90k/year.

you can get a shoebox studio place for upwards of 260/w in Melbourne, there's probably stuff on gumtree for cheaper but that'd be dodgier places

Plenty of 2 bedroom places (houses as well as apartments) at that price though, just nowhere near the actual city. It was mostly in response to JBP's comment about sharehouses of 4+ people (which is certainly more the case in the inner suburbs).

The only response to any such claims is "Prove it". It's not arguing about costs, because everyone knows it's unreasonable. It's like someone saying they could throw a ball into orbit, it doesn't matter how much orbital mechanics you show them, they don't care, the only possible response is "Put up, or shut up".

Seriously though council responsibilities could be done at a state level with better economies of scale (rubbish collection, parks upkeep, etc).

The biggest downside I can see right now is that local councils usually tender stuff like plumbing, gardening, maintenance etc to local small businesses, which is good for the area, and good for the businesses as it provides a steady stream of convenient work. It also guarantees a particular level of service, as lovely workmanship in their area of operations is going to harm their reputation and impact their ability to bring in new customers. Sometimes councils grant tenders to large enterprises, or businesses from out of the area, in order to save a small amount of money. This is bad, because it ends up costing the local economy, and usually results in a lower level of service (as these businesses can afford to piss off the local residents if it saves them a few bucks). Running this stuff at the state level would probably increase this tendency, with the added bonus that the state body is likely to engage with larger, publicly listed companies who largely engage in tax evasion, in order to reduce the logistical overhead of managing multiple contracts.

It also allows fine grained priority. E.g. the state in general needs the road lines repainted, so there's a road painting blitz project, but your lines are fine and you really need play areas for growing family populations and you have to wait for the state priority to reach "parks: playground equipment" on their Todo list.

Thanos has the right ideas. Everyone who opposes him is simply a negatively geared slumlord/lady. Yes I'm talking about you Mr Tony Stark. Plus your Avenger friends. I know you spend all your hero wages to fund real estate investments while talking out the other side of your mouths about "saving the world". More like saving your investment yield due to housing demand.
