Would have to be more than 5000, on Duds numbers every immigrant who arrives rents or buy a place just for themselves, no sharing.
Wonder who was in power both State and Federally back then.
Hobart’s worsening rental crisis confirmed by latest data Wednesday 27 November 2019
Shelter Tas, Tasmania’s peak body for housing and homelessness, is deeply concerned at the escalating levels of unaffordable rents, reported in the latest Rental Affordability Index (RAI) produced by SGS Economics & Planning, National Shelter, Community Sector Banking and the Brotherhood of St Laurence. “Rental affordability in Tasmania has nosedived since the RAI began in 2015. Hobart is again the least affordable capital in Australia. Rising rent and low income growth has created unprecedented hardship for many people seeking to find an affordable home, and we have a chronic and entrenched rental crisis,” Shelter Tas CEO Pattie Chugg said.
In such a competitive and unaffordable rental market, many low income earners must make impossible choices between essentials such as food and heating or having a home. Single parent working families, Newstart recipients, young people and aged and disability pensioners are the worst affected, paying up to 86% of their income on rent,” Ms Chugg said.
