Ban Foreign Investment (as Most Sensible Countries Have Already Done )
End Negative Gearing
Only Approve Affordable Developments (capped at a set maximum price)
Approve Rural Subdivision (down to say 5 Acres)
Stop Migration
Far more Land should be made Available,
Normal People should be able to Subdivide (to say 400M2 in Residential Areas),
Not Just Developers Charging as much for Land as what a House and Land in the Area was worth a Year or Two ago.
Also:
Check that all Foreign Investor and Student purchased Homes are obeying the rules such as:
Living in the House,
Attending the Course,
Selling when no longer entitled (such as have finished their Course or no longer Living in the Home)
Not Renting the House to others
Not leaving Houses Vacant, Etc.
Sell any Houses where the Owners are no longer within the given rules.
Their must be disincentives for Landlords who paid far less for their Property,
To Increase Rents to the Price of Paying a Loan on a Brand-New House in the Area.
Which is what has been Happening.
It should also be looked into why Properties in Some Areas near Doubled in the Last Two or Three Years,
And Steps Taken to get them back to what they were then.
It should be looked into whether Interstate Investors were Tricked into Overpaying for Properties in other States,
Such as people from Sydney far Overpaying in areas of Brisbane.
Logan for example saw Interstate Investors paying $200K more for properties,
Than what similar ones sold for just weeks / months earlier.
They Clearly did not check out or be correctly told,
the recent Sold Prices in the area.
It should also be looked into who did overpay in these areas, And
Whether their is an another reason for this,
Such as if they own multiple properties in the area and are trying to inflate the sales stats, or,
If they are a developer or anyone else who may have a reason for trying to inflate prices, Etc.
One area seemed to have huge increases in sales prices,
Just as people were made aware resumptions would be taking place for example.
Ban Short Term Accommodation:
These peoples Homes are not Hotels,
The Owners are not qualified to run a Hotel,
Do Not Have the Know How to Properly Clean things like Beds and Sheets to Hotel Standards, Etc.
Have No fire escape Plan, Exit signs and so many other things that are not suitable for Short Term Tenants,
Who do not know the Layout of the Property, Etc.
And Many other things that a Hotel Would be required to have.
They need to Stop Price Gouging of Building Materials, and
Have HUGE Penalties to those who are Price Gouging.
Todays Houses are mostly made of Cheap Pine Frames,
With the Cheapest Cladding they can find, (Eg. Foam Etc.)
They are Not the more expensive Hardwood Framed,
Double Brick Homes of the Old Days, And
Should be far Cheaper to Build.
