My feet are in the right place and
I stand firm.

Business Insider Australia also confirms
that the Sydney and Melbourne Unit, House
price pattern is reflective of the national
trends, as units continue to outperform houses
across the country due to affordability barriers
and life-style choices.

There's a lesson to be learned from David F.,
in his statement to Rehctub on a different discussion
when David stated:

"One way of arguing is to cite one's opinion as fact.
Which is what you have done...Another way of arguing is
false labeling... If you wish to argue with me
please keep your comments factual and don't confuse your
opinions with fact."

Hear, hear.

Fox,

Borrowing a comment by another poster that was directed at someone else is manipulative and flawed through false comparison.

BTT

As was stated earlier, it is the compartmentalised thinking and slavish adherence to ideology that prevents leftists from acknowledging the obvious: that demand from continued large scale immigration forces up housing prices.

This is what the numbers say,

<To give our crystal ball a solid foundation, we asked CoreLogic RP Data for a statistical snapshot of prices and sales in all capital cities in February 2010. We also asked for comparative sale numbers and median sale prices from February 2015.

Hopefully, this five-year snapshot will reveal trends that help us forecast what lies ahead for Australia’s capital city housing markets.

[tables omitted]
According to Cameron Kusher, CoreLogic RP Data’s Senior Research Analyst, “the standout message” is that Sydney, and to a lesser degree Melbourne, has been the star performer over the past five years.

“All the others (capital cities) have been fairly muted,” Kusher says.

“One question people often ask is ‘why haven’t all the markets grown equally when recent interest rates cuts are national’?

“Well the reason we have seen such strong growth in Sydney and not in other markets is more because of overseas migration to Sydney, which has been fairly strong because of its job opportunities, because New South Wales’s migration away has been low since 2010 and also because there’s a shortfall in housing.>

Add to that the necessarily ramped up taxes and council rates to provide the required infrasyructure for 200,000 new migrants a year. -Which is the equivalent of building five cities the size of Port Macquarie ANNUALLY.

Add costs of Centrelink, Health (Medicare) and the direct and indirect costs associated with multiculturalism and it is easy to see why government reports say that young working Aussie couples are delaying and finally not having the children they planned for. Young working Aussie couples are being discriminated against by taxes and user pays to support the 'Big Australia' and 'diversity-Australia-is-being-forced-to-have' to suit the cringing cultural elitism and anti-'white' hatred of the leftist 'Progressives'.

otb,

Actually it wasn't a false comparison at all
Your last post confirms that.
My comparison was spot on.

Also, (to adapt an old adage)
"I am not a manipulator.
I like to think of myself as an
outcome engineer".

And, the outcome that was hoped for was to
shame you into changing from the porcupine
that you are - still shooting quills in
my direction - to an adult capable of genuine
discussion.

However, sadly it didn't work this time either.
I stopped reading your post after the
first sentence.

I accept the fact that you find whatever I have to say on this
forum - objectionable.
Therefore there's really no further need for me to
comment.
