    " Record-construction activity since the pandemic has increased the supply of empty units, meaning more inventory is available for renters. More multi-family units were completed in June than in any month in nearly 50 years, according to Zillow Group, an online marketplace for real estate."

    C'mon Albo, how come Texas and Florida can construct the most family units (big ones) in about 50 yrs and we in Oz are going backwards on construction? Might be an idea to give them a quick ring and get some pointers perhaps?
