    HI IDW

    It has probably come to the time when we should be more socialistic in our housing and retreat from the "everyone must own a 1/4 acre block house" mantra as impractical even in a physically large but greatly restricted country

    We are using all the good land for dwellings, many years ago all the market gardens around Melbourne were swallowed up by covering the land with unproductive houses

    So governments have to either eliminate the unpopular, un-wanted migrant intake or go back to Asian style dense housing

    Our cities are some of the largest geographically in the world, a factor which makes them very expensive to supply services to and expensive to run

    Australia has basically run out of housing land

    As always it is a choice as there is no free lunch
