Why Living In Australia Is Impossible

saving capitalism from the capitalists

Stay away from Sydney

It was my dream to visit this country but i think i gotta reconsider it.

Time for a communist Revolution

Honestly this is almost the same in the whole developed countries.

I can understand that there are limitations to house supply in some cities in Europe.
But in a country the size of europe and less than half the population of Italy or France…

The problem is not inmigration, its taxes, misalignment in incentives and burocracy.

Labour governments always rinse the work in class people, the sooner you wake up to that a vote the left out you might start winning the game

Australia is a country who is surviving on foreign workers ni-vans solomon islands Philippines papua new Guinea france, nearly 75percent of these peoples worked on farms and hardworking industries in the country.

How the hell is that a huge spike?
If 2021 was 400k immigrants less and 2022 was 300k less.
That’s 700k less people.
Offset by 200k more people than usual in 2023.
-700k + 200k is still -500k less people than normal.
Even if you say 2022 +200k and 2023 +200k more than usual, it’s still -700k and + 400k = - 300k

Claiming immigration has little to do with the cost of housing is completely false. You said yourself that immigration HAS caused a boom in rent prices. Now what does an ever more lucrative rental economy cause? Move investment. More realestate investment, companies and individuals taking out loans against their existing properties to outbid families and citizens wanting a house. Why? So they can rent the house out for a profit. Immigration is 100% partially responsible for the housing prices claiming they’re not is delusional.

Politicians are never going to do anything except if they feel they are going to be replaced 😂

Australia is still affordable if you try hard. In Vietnam, house price needs ~25 years income for most of people to buy.

Russian here. Same problems are here. Huge territories but only a few affordable places to live in. Such a sad joke of life.

Impossible???😮
Bull sh!t!!!

World-class beaches filled with Great white sharks and the highesr fatalities in the world. Besides a small sliver in Queensland, entire country is a desert with not even half-enough water to take care of populations' water and farming needs. Certfiably a total police-state with non-stop enforcement from birth to death with cctv cameras on literally every street corner. Treatment of the indigenous population that makes America look like angels.
Not a nice country. An absolute shithole that should cease to exist

Same in Ireland

We are not surrounded by oceans.

We are GIRT by sea.

I wanted to live in Australia fora long time but seeing this makes me want to and also not want to because I fear that housing prices will get even worse over the years

It’s really bad if you live on a disability pension. There’s no affordable rentals and the public housing waitlist is years long. It’s even worse if you have mobility issues and need accessible housing. There’s so many disabled homeless people because of that. It’s really sad

If you're an educated Australian it is IMPOSSIBLE to spend all your time trying to keep politicians honest. If you're educated and competent it's time to leave the country. Speaking from someone with a PhD in Engineering. Thank you.

Awhhhh yall took the land now yall struggling serves u right!

Same problem across all of commonwealth - NZ, Aus, Canada and UK. And all our politicians use the same script. N

It’s unfortunate to hear all this as an Irishman whose relatives moved to Australia for opportunities in the 80s. Now both countries have a cost of living crisis and a sky-high property prices.

Although I can’t help but notice that the housing problem isn’t confined to us at this point. The global supply of housing is not keeping up with demand.

In the block where I am fortunate to rent fairly reasonably there are AT LEAST 3 houses used only as "occasional second residences" by their owners.
That's three that are "off the market" because the older owners bought more than 20 years ago...
The former "Fair Go" attitude of "mateship" Australia has become "I've got mine. That's all that matters."

The taxation is just insane for workers

I am an indian who wants set my career in Australia as a neurologist,do you think it will be okay for me?

its 1 year after this video was released and we've ran out of fuel

Yeah i literally have no hope of ever owning a house

The problem was created by the state, thus the solution is policy (more state). It is so delusional

Damn Australia was on my list i guess its worst than uae

My parents migrated to Oz in the 70s, had me and my brother, worked hard always, never collected Centrelink, saved...never owned a credit card. Built and bought their homes in two different states & retired overseas successfully about ten years ago. Still going strong and recently visited me (and no, they can afford their OWN healthcare in their own country and not need a GO FUND me or medicare). They are glad they made their decision.

Wish to study out there

So basically the same issues as Canada. When I was a child (I was born 1996) Australia and Canada were portrayed as the ultimate model countries, but it seems that they are not doing that well anymore.

Too much immigration

The concept of suburbia is why housing market is hell in the west. In developing countries, cities keep growing

I'm a Brazillian, i hate Brazil, i want to get out, but... I see in YouTube that Australia and Canada are no good, US is too restrictive now, Europe too, What the hell am i gonna do?

I hate it when rich countries blame migrants for their politicians’ failure. Migrants do the jobs australians don’t want to do. They pick fruits, care for the elderly, work long hours in hospitals, restaurants, daycares. They truly do the toughest work there is. However, don’t bring in more people if you can’t even house your own. People need to blame the ones that are actually responsible for making short-term choices that benefit them in the moment monetarily.

Stop having kids Muslim propaganda have so much kids to take over

I love Australia but😞😞

Shouldn't the graph at 3:44 account for the spike in demand for immigration in 2023 also by acknowledging the delayed demand due to the COVID years 2021-2022?

My grandparents bought a brand new three-bedroom house, eight miles west of downtown Sydney in 1953 for $8,000. ( 4,000 Australian pounds in those days )
