There are plenty of regional towns and cities with various labour shortages John.

And yet you've not listed these jobs nor this imaginary town of yours. Is it time for your yellow crayons again?

No I'm suggesting that you're full of shit and making it up as you go.

No, I think you listing this imaginary town you keep citing that 'costs less than an apartment', along with all the jobs available for those who move there, might prove you aren't just making up crap as you go.

Housing availability… there’s the problem….
I recall when they were in abundance and rent was competitively low.
At times I recall the house/s being empty for 4-6-8 weeks before the agent got some drop kick in.
And then we’ve had the odd house of two that was slightly damaged, rubbish left behind, rent not paid …
Then there were some tenants that were good, respecting they had roof over their heads.
In 30 years of what we experienced, I could probably write a book.

Now there’s a shortage of rental properties.
A visiting friend recently told us she can’t get a loan because of her age (62) and she, like us, had proven beyond doubt, of ability to handle money /investment/repayments etc but we can’t borrow either.
So those of us that want to buy properties to rent, can’t.
Those few remaining rentals are taken up quickly.
Most of us older gen that rented houses out are selling and mostly it’s not investors buying… it’s owner/occupiers.
And why not, since renting hikes now match mortgage repayments.

Too many people.
Not enough houses.

What CAN be done?

Build more houses, import fewer people. No capacity for the former, wacist to limit immigration.

So.... paralysis.

But that's not how it works Frank.
It's all about creating a massive population of extreme poverty which allows a minority of brain cells to rule at the top like a gay-hierarchy of inbred uber rich.

Australia's British infused 'Egalitarian' middle-class culture is in the way of that.
...the more Australia embraces the American way (under the Media narrative) - the more it will be 'like' America.
