Abolishing negative gearing doesn't change the quanta of existing housing stock. Maybe some investors will decide not to be landlords and sell, either to other investors or to occupiers (which would free up another property for occupation/rent etc).
I don't think the issues with housing supply (i.e. new dwellings being built) would be addressed at all, the supply side constraints appear to be planning controls and lack of labour to build.
The ALP policy at the 2019 election was to restrict negative gearing to new dwellings only, providing an incentive to build. Wouldn't fix the supply side issues though.
Abolishing or maintaining negative gearing is a tax policy, not a housing policy. You change it if you're worried about the amount of revenue the government doesn't collect due to landlords claiming deductions against their other income streams. Ditto capital gains tax discount rules.
Not having such generous treatment of investment properties would possibly have helped avert the housing crisis by not encouraging rampant property speculation, but I have no idea how you unscramble that egg now without destroying a huge amount of "wealth", which would have a massive impact across the whole economy.
What the gently caress does this have to do with bike paths?? Take it to the relevant thread mate

Right, and even with the lovely zones, people are still willing to ride in the wet, thereby disproving Recoome's lazy attempt at a point. Imagine the numbers we'd see if they had a superhighway that didn't force them to share space with cars.
Well it's a good thing that connecting existing public transport stops and providing good routes around them is ingrained in the DNA of the plan.
Getting 16 km to work isn't the only use-case we need to consider. It's about how people move around in their communities. To school or the supermarket. With a good network, we can replace cars for a good chunk of trips. Also 16 km is a very ridable distance anyway.
Stop thinking in terms of binaries, like "it is for THIS". It's for a whole bunch of things.
Yep, we call them bike-paths out of habit, but it's important to remember they're actually MUPs, Multi-Use Paths, for all kinds of modes, and it looks like zippy little e-scooters are shaping up to be a pretty big part of that too, for better or worse. As well as walkers and wheelchairs of course. I tried a shared scooter scheme in Adelaide, and found the speed limit to be prohibitively slow, and the relative cost prohibitively high.
gee if if only we'd figured out a way to address incline issues at some point in the last thousand years, oh well, "seven traffic lights to bring all perpendicular city traffic to a halt while we cross" it is.
By your logic, the rigorous interrogation the superhighway plan has been put through is rightwing style anti-cycling vomit. If you can't answer basic and important questions about your supposedly superior plan then maybe it's not so superior after all.
Another thing - this "public transport network" you want to spend billions of dollars on, does it do anything for Urban Cargo Deliveries, or is it more of an exclusively "passenger" thing? Is it good for parents doing the school run? Does it take them from door to door? What about grocery shopping? Nice and easy for that too?
That said, the Metro rules. It's so drat fast, and straight, and clean and quiet and cool, and seems to be pretty well-used. I'm all about minimising interruptions with intersections, and that's exactly what the metro does. Most of the construction IS out of the way (apart form the building some of the stations), and so is the operation. The difference is, it does it by throwing an eye-watering stream of hundred-dollar bills into the coalface, and I think those tunnels might be beyond the skillset of the army reserve.
If you can build the thing on the right, don't tell me we can't build the thing on the left. And obviously, obviously, it should at least connect from Tallowong to Schofields. Here this guy has some ideas for you:

I offered a suggestion for a simple and elegant solution to a real and pertinent problem, and as usual the thread lost its poo poo while completely failing to offer any alternatives. Because they are hell-bent on racistly repeating the mistake this colony has made since its inception, which is to ignore first nations' design principles.
That's probably why they're so opposed to using the ancient technology of flat ground and walkable trails too.
Wow really
