Making the case for regulating rents in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Rent regulations are no silver bullet, but they would help make renting fairer

Great article critiquing the YIMBY vs NIMBY framings of the housing debate. Loved the real world examples of alternative ways of addressing the housing crisis that don’t require handing over our cities to self interest developers and property owners.

There's still another six months to go, but we can already see unconditional basic income works to reduce homelessness, because, OF COURSE IT DOES.

In the monthly $1,000 group, the percentage of people reporting sleeping outside dropped to ZERO PERCENT.

Dr Fabian Cannizzo Zoe Staines Lauren Kate Kelly Dr Troy Henderson Elise Klein Dr Susan Maury - @[email protected] The Centre Andrew Clarke Andrew Clarke unpacks the relationship between #BasicIncome and #homelessness He asks if can Basic Income address the ‘income’ side of housing affordability and reduce the stigma often associated with more targeted measures?

Many thanks Antonella Gambotto-Burke for the generous review. Let’s hope the book contributes to changing the debate from the problems of people who are homeless to the problems of society for creating homelessness

Rose-Marie Stamble and Cameron Parsell draw on ethnographic research across two Australian charity centres in their new #OpenAccess article, revealing that hope and anger are key emotions alongside shame when asking for help from poverty.

The changes take social housing from 28.2% to 30%. We desperately need to stop conflating social and affordable housing so that politicians can’t make tiny improvements like this sound significant. Affordable housing in Waterloo could mean $750pw and only for 15 years

The best way to regulate rents now would be the most simple:
- limit increases during tenancies to a certain percentage - say, 3% pa (i.e. the top of RBA's inflation target)
- limit frequency to 1 pa (as 6/8 states already do)
- allow excessive-to-market challenges (as all do)

If Hawaii is on fire, where does Scomo flee to?

A handy reference for when people talk about 'social and affordable' housing
