If you’ve got stats that prove otherwise I’d be interested to see them-

13 million spare bedrooms

AHURI, the Australian Housing and Urban Research Unit and the nation's pre-eminent urban research body stated late last year that there were 1 million under-occupied or unoccupied homes and a staggering 13 million spare bedrooms in Australia. That's a very hard one for governments to solve.18 Oct 2023

Try forcing the very rich to provide bedrooms first, let me know how that pans out.
