It is no surprise to anyone to hear that there is a problem with the housing policy in Sydney.

It is not new issue but successive governments have tip toed around it and the longer they put of the inevitable the greater the problem becomes.

With more people than ever looking for homes here, the problem is highly concentrated in Sydney,

-  the flow on effect impacts on the rest of Australia.

Whether you are looking for somewhere to move to, like we are right now,  or you are an investor or a business owner.
- what you need is some long term certainty.

There is a reluctance to build super rise buildings, but we have to face the fact that if we are to retain our green areas around Sydney then housing must go up and not out.

It isn’t the only solution, but it is the most likely and sooner or later super high rise housing constructions must go up to bring the cost of housing down...

Does anyone think it might be sooner rather than later?

Putting some light on household costs

I don't know if NSW Premier Kristina Keneally is hoping that NSW voters might sneak her government across the line at the March polls but the strategy over the weekend did seem very similar to Julia Gillard's we've lost our way but give us a chance tactics.

It is an interesting election tactic; admit you've made mistakes, admit you've lost your way and beg for voter mercy, but the claim to lower household expenses I think needs to come under a lot closer scrutiny.

For one example take a look at NSW Electricity, this Labor led NSW government has presided over massive increases in electricity retail price increases. Worse, they have failed to invest in essential electricity infrastructure and so whatever happens in March, people and businesses are going to suffer significantly with massive electricity increases now needed to pay for around $15 billion in infrastructure repairs and replacements that should have been undertaken and funded over the past decade.

That means a single pensioner household is now paying around $3 a day for electricity, and we are told that will need to increase to cover these repairs as well as the profit margins of whoever buys into NSW electricity.

Then there is the price increase of a carbon tax to come instead of bringing costs under control the Premier offers some households an increase in their electricity rebate of less than 3 cents a day and she thinks that will be enough....Turn It Up.
