That post feels really gross. Why the fuck would you frame it as though the goal should be to get more people “on the treadmill” and “pay their dues”.
Becuase when you have to pay 800 k for a house, it is a treadmill life of WORK. WORK is hard and treadmill work is a good way to keep them all controlled. It's designed like this. Paying their dues is doing what they're parents did. They're parents paid 80K for a house now work 800K. Let them think the prices double every 7 years and that they can do their dues and do the same as their parents?
Our goal should be to fix the problems in our society. Make it so that housing is seen as a necessity and a right, not an investment first and foremost.
Yes, but it's Brisbane. If you don't have 4 mortgage and think property doubles every 7 years, it's weird at barbecues. People think that housing is their ATM, not a right. I agree with you.
But that's what Brsibane is all about
RENT MONEY IS DED MONEY gotta get that huge house and live the dream
How else would we be able to make people stay here well actually they don't want to which is why Brisbane now is the world;s biggest indo hong kong refugee camp such a terrible monkier but its true
So how else are we going to make the new ones coming out of school think Brisbane is worthwhile? They can get wealthy through houses kind of thinking is the way forward.
