      A referendum on housing
      This political football has been kicked down the road so many times they need to be jailed for spousal abuse

    With regard to this Housing Commission:
    Is one of them in a position
    To relate their OWN tale
    of a tenant’s travail?
    If not, then there’s been an omission.

    He’s doing a great job of commissioning reports and setting up working groups, how much longer until Martin is replaced as Taoiseach and we have a new Housing Minister?

    “None of whom is a landlord.

    Am I the only one to find it strange that none of our gallant allies in Europe – or at least in the EU – are viewed as competent enough to be on this commission?
    I wonder what it is about Oz’s housing market that makes an ozzie suitable?

    First house in the region that I’m interested in dropped down for over 10% (40k) this morning.
    Second one dropped only 10k.
    Other realestate agents are still HODLing.

    One sleazy little b*astar*d a couple of days ago tried to convince me that there are already several potential buyers for the shitbox I was looking at, and that I should bid more than the asking price. That one is on the market for several months now.
    HODL! HODL!

    Oh, how I’ll laugh when this market burns down again.
