Housing Crisis

What are people's thoughts on the cost of housing presently? Is there a crisis? I was watching a 4 corners programme the other night and a young couple had just purchased there first home in Mascot for $1,700,000 and had a mortgage of $1,400,000. Their parents had to go guarantor on the loan. There must be a few Sydney residents on this forum with kids looking to buy their first home. Is this the norm? Would you guys do the same?

        • I watch ABC kids {with my grandchild every day} and see what a wonderful job  ABC is doing with integrating all ethnic groups in their presentation and involvement of young kids. Most of this generation will be colour blind.

          • Yep tad, they give zero shits about where you're from or who you fuck

        • I lived in a North Kellyville, I sold to developers, Italian actually, the homes built around there had a stack of Aussie tradies, actually the only Indians  I saw were couriers, meal delivery and some truck drivers. I know Indians love transport, but plenty of Aussies still driving for Coles etc. 

          I’m definitely not sulking over the housing crisis, like Wiz said here, I love it, from my selfish POV, I have made stacks from it. Like others have said, get in young and go as hard as you can, don’t whine about others making it too hard  

           

          • MB i always admire the care and thoughtfulness you show your kids when talking about them, i can tell how much you love and care about them, can tell are a huge part of their lives.

            They are all very lucky and blessed to have such a good man as a dad.

            How are you bro? hows the health.

            • Good thanks Snake, glad you appreciate me, I am well.

            • Snake, such kind words. Thank you.

              I may joke with mates about the 3 bitches that control my life, but really I wouldn't be half the person I am without my Mrs and daughters, they have taught me and I have tried my best to provide a safe, comfortable and loving home, sort of the opposite to what I grew up in. 
              My health is holding steady so the operation is currently on hold, trying to get to winter next year, no one wants to be laid up in summer. 
              Again, thank you bro for checking in. 

              • MB you are a legend dude snake is right 

                love legend dads and husbands 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️

                • ☺️ 

                • Im always right Carls.

                  • Now you're just getting damn silly 🙄

"It would be competitive but would it get the deal done. Whilst I admit on the surface 950-1m appears overs I'd pay that to get the deal done. It's not overs when it's exactly what you team needs to make a massive improvement to your squad"

"Poppa I'm a fan of a Burton signing. What im saying is I don't think we are blocking Lorenzo's path if we are paying Burton right. I don't think centre would be an issue for Burton if Lorenzo becomes a must pick at some stage. He doesn't strike me…"

Slippery. replied to Fiddy's discussion Burton to Eels?

 I think the Burton/ Moses combination is perfect. The issue is the price tag attached to Burton and having upto 2.5 million invested in the halves,  especially when the Eels are currently struggling with quality in several areas. Signing Burton…"

Nightmare Off-Season replied to Fiddy's discussion Burton to Eels?

We don’t know, unfortunately, but Dylan is on record making a few claims and it obviously wasn't the 1.3m constantly pushed here, and less than we’ve then spent on Pezet anyway.
The Eels identified DB as a 10 year player ourselves remember (which…"

"Anasta was the only one who reported it the most accurately $1.2m pa. You can believe the $1m pa media reports, but you'd by out by a $1m overall plus TPAs.
Cap, would you pay $6m for him for 5 years ON the cap?
Souths passed. So did we. A stuff up…"

The Captain replied to Fiddy's discussion Burton to Eels?
"Where's the $1.2m figure come from HOE?
ABC, Fox, SMH, Nine, Sporting News all report $5m over 5 years.
I know it's all hearsay anyway, but all the reporting I saw indicated the sticking point was the extra year only. I didn't see anyone reporting…"
