housing affordability for all ..., page-7

i have been told by a Singaporean thats pretty much how it operates there for about 80% of the population

there are plenty of other solutions to housing affordability

simply have a much bigger deposit when buying a house would keep prices down and protect the banks from going belly up

also for investors make the deposits much higher than primary residence mortgages - this is what they are doing in China i believe

also get rid of negative gearing and tax on bank interest

it would also help if settlement prices on property were freely available

much more land releases as well
