Charles Darwin quote / sydney house prices

[Marty McDonald]

I just stumbled on this gem. I have also posted on Steve Keens website as thought it might make a few of his followers explode.

"At last we anchored within Sydney Cove; the number of large houses just finished & other building is truly surprising; nevertheless every one complains of the high rents & difficulty in procuring a house."

- Charles Darwin's Beagle Diary, 12 January, 1836

[Richard Feynman]

I read The Voyage of the Beagle a while ago and noted that very line.

Highly recommended read, btw.

[The Fence]

Keen simply cany handle any critics now, he wants his say and will not engage in any discussion.

I guess cause he has never been correct yet?
