Report: Australia’s Housing Crisis Could Be Easily Fixed By Just Tripling The Goldie

Finally, some action on housing!

After a decade of millennials being forced to grin and bare a manipulated property market that benefits nobody but a very small asset-class of older Australians, there appears to finally be a plan to rein in the hysterical ponzi scheme that is has driven the average Australian house price well past a million dollars.

This comes as Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers prepares to host a ‘productivity round table’ next week with leading business representatives, trade unions, and advocacy groups.

Leaked Treasury documents show that one of the top agenda items at next week’s summit is to address the Australian housing affordability crisis.

With a growing number of white collar Australians choosing to work from home to avoid the costs of tolls and hour-long commutes, and our nation’s cities being hollowed out of young people and turning into baby boomer retirement homes, the issue of housing plays a major role in economic growth.

Documents seen by the media show that the ’round table’ discussion points will include the possibility of harnessing the firepower of A.I to speed up the processing of development proposals.

However, one idea that seems to be far less scary, has also been tabled.

Why don’t we just triple the Goldie?

Like, just build three of everything that already exists.

As a city devoid of any form of heritage or architectural consistency, the Gold Coast is not beholden to the same NIMBY culture of social cleansing and subtle white supremacy.

There’s nobody in a position to complain about this kind of plan attracting a ‘sub-optimal social mix’ because the Gold Coast has always been somewhat dodgy.

The coastal metropolis, which has only really existed since it was built overnight by corrupt Queensland developers in the early 1980s, could easily take in another 1-2 million residents.

It’s a plan that everyone can agree on, because very few local residents have actually lived in the Gold Coast for long than ten years, so there’s really no arguments to be made about ‘preserving the character’.

The traffic can’t get any worse, and the town’s reputation could only improve with an influx of ordinary tax-paying citizens.

Let’s do it. Let’s triple the Goldie!
