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 🙄

"I expect he will get a run at some point in the back 3rd of the season most likely off the bench at first. It all depends on how the team is playing , if they are getting flogged every week i suspect it's less likely he gets thrown to the wolves."

"Can't see him wanting to play 6 at Parra he wants to be the 7 so no hope I would re sign Volkmann now myself showing genuine improvement and won't break the bank so we can sign a centre and front rower "

"Cmon, it looking likely that we'll be out of the running by around round 18. Surely if he's the one, Ryles will get him into the systems on the feild with Moses.  It would be a great opportunity going into 27 to give him reps.
If he sticks with…"

"Metcalf is not coming to the eels to play 6, he wants to play 7, if he was happy enough to play 6 he would just stay at the warriors. 
The fact the dogs are interested suggests that either Burton or Galvin will be available. "

"HOE,
It was also the space Brown created that set-up the Knights first 4 tries, as well as the Mooney try, he also saved a try on Latrell late - which is also reality - but, yes the one error was poor.
With salary cap increases, PNG etc, what $$…"

"We'd be a far worse team with Dylan at 7 than Moses, even if Dylan was working as hard as he is at the Knights and reacted as badly to his errors. Moses has had many more years to work on being that General. And his kicking game is superior."
