    there is a limit people can afford to pay unless landlords will allow more people in each property

    To make the metrics better house prices need to reduce

    I saw a place sell for 5.5 mill where I live last year, it’s on the rental market at $2500 per week
    Yield not even 2.5%
    Repayments 6%
    Why should tax payers have to make up the difference via negative gearing losses

    Now if the house which was worth 3 mill 3 years ago was purchased for 3 mill now the yield would be fair

    So rather than keep putting rates up(there is a limit to what people can pay and this money is all removed from the economy) we should be finding ways to reduce house prices
