high rent pushing geny to buy first home, page-12

Spot on fumbles!

I rent for well less then 600pw and i'm looking to buy for well more then $450000.

And it's in the exact some postcode, for a similar house.

I particularly like the 'know it all' this graduate journalist interviewed that highlighted how new buyers now need to expect to live in slums. No schools, no medical, no public transport, no town and no soul. eg. Point 'Mumbai' Cook.

"Yes, you have to sacrifice because (when renting) we want everything at our fingertips, want to be close to town, infrastructure and amenity. That has got to be sacrificed - you have to go a bit further out."
