Summary, etc. Australia's most trusted financial journalist on Australia's housing crisis.<br/><br/>'One of the best long reads on housing and possible solutions that you can come across' —Rafael Epstein<br/><br/>An updated and expanded edition of the bestselling Quarterly Essay.<br/><br/>One of the great mysteries of Australian life is that a land of sweeping plains, with one of the lowest population densities on the planet, has a shortage of land for houses. As a result, Sydney is the second most expensive place to buy a house on Earth, after Hong Kong.<br/><br/>The escalation in house prices is a pain that has altered Australian society; it has increased inequality and profoundly changed the relationship between generations – between those who have a house and those who don't. It has caused a rental crisis, a dearth of public housing and a mortgage crunch.<br/><br/>Things went seriously wrong at the start of the twenty-first century, when there was a huge and permanent rise in the price of housing. In this crisp, clarifying and forward-looking book, Alan Kohler tells the story of how we got into this mess – and how we might get out of it.<br/><br/>This new edition adds material on homelessness, how much house prices in each city need to come down to be affordable, and lessons from overseas.<br/><br/>'A timely contribution from a master communicator' —Cameron Murray, Crikey
