Emerson says there's clearly a need to build in existing suburbs, calls out plans to create a commissioner for future generations, and notes that there's work overseas in places like Arizona to create car-free greenfield suburbs.

Steel points to the planning strategy and the greenfield blocks proposed for release there, including Jacka, Ginninderry (which could involve changing the border), and the Molonglo Valley. Makes case for variety of greenfield housing choices with different types of density.

Some back and forth between Cain and Steel on a number of points, including whether current RZ2 zones are seeing development, whether developing Kowen is affordable, and whether/how housing should be allowed in the Phillip trades area.

Next question is on how their policies will support mixed-use development, and what they see as the role for Braddon-like residential/retail renewal for areas that are currently industrial.

Happy International Tenants' Day to ALL people who rent, including people defined as occupants. This year's theme of strengthening democracy and housing rights of people who rent speaks to the need to value lived experience. #ITD2024 #renting #tenants iut.nu/events/interna…

The agent's quote is a cracker: 2 reasons this 60 year old ex-housing trust home wasn't able to be presented nicely. 1. It has a flat roof 2. It is 'still tenanted'. Are they saying by virtue of renting a home, a tenant prevents it from being presentable? realestate.com.au/news/investor-…

Govt/ABS has dropped the ball on measuring the housing/cost of living ā€˜crisis’ we have no official stats on the impact at a household level post covid. Nothing since ā€˜21 Census. May be overblown, may be on point. We don’t really know the true situation. theconversation.com/20-people-in-a…
