Abstract
Quick fixes won’t address the housing affordability crisis. Feeling the cold? Spare a thought for the rough sleepers in Sydney who shivered through the city’s chilliest June morning in 13 years.
Australia needs to build more quality housing, and fast. Low-wage workers are sleeping on the streets. Families are being forced to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. Nurses live in boarding houses because they can’t find accommodation close to hospitals.
