Get a book that touches on the basics of psychology.

The media is behind pushing that too - son was approached by 'The Advertiser' and asked if he would pull down his pants slightly for a photo for an article on how youth wear their pants nowadays. His 3 mates had no objections and had dozens of people comment critically at their {fake} very low...

The 5 acre farm and the other properties were to show you can't make such generalizations. I don't think I knew anyone who lived on a 1000sq resi block. I live alongside some of these blocks now and know that not only are they rare, I know the history of some of these, and know that most were...

I grew up on a 5 acre farm {lizzie we had a bucket for a toilet too} and later lived in 3 homes away from and near the CBD ranging from around 400sq to 730squ. 1000squ blocks have not ever been the norm for residential, and those that do buy small blocks are swapping big block/small house for...

You have that as well as the opposite. I think the young have an even bigger choice now. There's nothing stopping the more realistic ones from buying up, and just because there might be a large percentage of higher caliber homes about doesn't mean FHB deserve to afford them - that others paid...

Many homes deep in the northern suburbs are dearer than those very close to the city. Affordable suburbs and properties are not always far afield, or in the 'sticks' as some here are referring to non inner city areas as. I live in inner city and adjoining where I am housing is almost half...

Didn't your father and mother work in their own sweatshop and live in the suburbs. Who is your father comparing too? FHB need to accept that sometimes they can't buy prime RE first up because that's a second and third homebuyers market - buyers who in most cases started off modestly.

Moreso with PPOR's, but i recall always wanting the best i could get for what i had to spend. That meant looking at properties which were at the top end of my budget so missing out on some was to be expected. There will always be others with a bit more money and who are willing to pay more...
