    Individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.

    Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

    I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

    I had a friend in the exact situation who did that. His wife's family was originally from Thailand, but she grew up here and after another rent rise and being unable to save anything they quit their jobs, moved to Thailand and got remote jobs. They both had uni degrees and work experience, but had to take a pay cut, but are now saving more in total than they were in Sydney with better lifestyles. In addition the remote jobs main client for the region is in Sydney so he's flown into Sydney every 3 months to visit.

Whether I like it or not, and sadly, due to skin cancers, their is no indigenous connection, I'm a part of that multicultural experience. As are you, I'd wager, in Canada. My country is wealthy because all those ancestors packed up and left their homes for a better one. I suppose the point is that your compatriot is your compatriot regardless. And if he or she becomes a citizen, pays taxes and contributes, the wealth grows. They need services, pay into pensions, and we're all richer for it. It's not migrants who are at fault, it's conservative governments that, here at least, fxxk things up. They exploit division and are beholden to big, wealthy interests, which avoid tax and do their utmost to reward shareholders over what's good for the country. I'm talking about standards for working people, and those happier to squeeze standards rather than lift them.

    It's not about labour or government. English culture is collapsing, the protestant faiths are worthless. The whole thing was predicated on Materialism being true, which has been unraveled as a false narrative. The Royal Society is implementing depopulation strategies to prevent full societal collapse since there are no more discoveries or developments that can be found, as clearly demonstrated by multiple WEF advisors and especially Klause. The goal is to drop global populations to about 500 million, which is the safe bet for English culture by promoting alternative lifestyles like LGBTQ+. The word English and Evil are now synonyms.

    The real sin is that currency or money is not being honest. When money can be generated out of thin air, they are destined to be gained first dishonestly by people in power or in favourable positions. The result is desirable assets are in short supply even at very high cost ( including but not restricted to high end houses, costly high end restaurants, hotels, expensive goods,…), and at the same time, poor people or even middle class find it more and more difficult to survive a decent life, many become homeless. When money is honest, even a shoe shining boy at the airport should be able to earn a decent living through hard work.

Everything else is an over expenditure which is only good if it's going towards things that increase the GDP. That's what drives the value of the dollar down, bad expenditure on things that don't better the lives of Australians.

    How politicians and policy makers cant work out basic arithmetic. 2000 migrants per day CY2023, ~160,000 homes built. And the answer is to build more homes? No, the answer is less migration. I care about standard of living and quality of life, two metrics that diminish as a direct result of overpopulation. It extends beyond housing, it's hospital waiting lists, roads in Sydney and Melbourne turning into carparks, rising homelessness. The list goes on. Trust me, you dont want Melbourne or Sydney becoming Sao Paulo, yet that's the trajectory we've adopted.

    Immigration is not the only answer. We had negative net migration for 2 years, the result was a housing price boom. There's more to it. Cheap interest rates and housing as a tax dodge are definitely contributors.

    $12,000 per sqm to rent a restaurant in Sydney? Where? That sounds like fake news to me. I own a restaurant in Melbourne. CBD rents here get up to $1000 per sqm and in the suburbs it could be as long as $300 per sqm. Where is this data coming from? In another video he says that 730,000 came to NSW “last year”. That is more than the total national migration numbers. That number is about 10x the official data for NSW inbound migration data. Again, where is this guy getting his data from?

    RE: 700,000+ immigrants that arrived is absolutely correct for the country in the previous year. I recall what you are referring to here, as he didn't specify the national intake. As for the cost of renting a commercial per sq metre is one thing but I looked at the menu prices in three places near where I live in Surrey Hills/Waterloo and the cheapest for a main course for a basic pasta dish was $32, and a steak meal up the road was $43.

    I think he probably meant $1200/m2, which would be accurate. 730,000 was the 22/23 Australian immigration number. He's messing things up but I don't think he's doing it on purpose. The channel shouldn't be clipping it and putting it out though. It's very easy to check those numbers. Regardless, most people will just take away 'unsustainably big' rather than an actual figure, which I think is a reasonable impression. It is sloppy though.

    @@markferguson7563 what price are you expecting? When I joined the industry over 20 years ago, entrees were around $15 and mains around $25. Steak might sneak up to $28-30. 20+ years later, when many other costs have increased 2x or more, those prices have gone up ~50%. By far the biggest input cost for a restaurant is Wages. Daylight is second and ‘cost of goods’ is third. Unless you’re silly with your business model, rent should be less than 10% (less than 5% for ‘full service’ restaurants). Heck even the government’s take (GST) is generally higher than rent. Would you accept lower wages for your job, and ask everyone else in Australia to accept lower wages, in order to get your pasta and steak cheaper..?

    @@stevem815 Yes, Steve, I also thought the guy was convuluted with conveying numbers. But what he is right about, albeit it took him a tad over 5 mins to say it is that, large immigration intakes are the crux of the problem. Apropos to that, on June 5 last year, I attended a meeting at the Alexandria Town Hall, and Tanya Plibersick the local MP was one of a 3-person panel taliking about, and fielding questions from attendees on the real estate crisis - either with the lack of properties to rent and, indeed, excessive rents. Alas, she had the termerity to succor the concerns of her constiuents when she was certainly au fait that Labor was locked-in to bringing in big numbers of migrants. This is particularly so in the Redfern/Waterloo/Surry Hills area with international students. With regards to that I know of 200+ units that foreign students have usurped from locals since then. In the building opposite my abode there are 7 apartments, of the 42, that ISs have moved into since june 5.

    For newbies, be aware that this is a grossly oversimplified scenario. For one thing, you can't get a mortgage on an investment property without at least 25% down payment. Two, it's easy to see comps for house purchase prices, but it takes a lot of research to understand the comps on rent prices. The trick is to find a place where renting is more expensive than buying, but those places are less common because of this very type of scenario. Three, you have to remember that rent number he's using is supposed to be net income, not gross. So you have to think about costs for taxes, insurance, maintenance and vacancy when you're researching investments. All that said, real estate investing is a good tool for wealth accumulation. But it isn't foolproof.

    Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

New loans print more money out of thin air kicking the can down the road. Either a deflationary crash or currency collapse is always the ultimate end, every time it has been done already throughout history, if total control via CBDC /social credit / 15 minute lockdown is the goal then you have a bubble to currency collapse.
