Australian Housing Minister Issues Call To Build More Density

Danger down under: It’s not just America that faces a massive housing shortage, Australia is staring down a growing supply gap of hundreds of thousands of homes. During a speech at the National Press Club, the country’s Housing Minister, Clare O’Neil said:

“We need to build more dense cities in our country, full stop. […] For the first time, people are making the connection between the housing development down the street from them, and the capacity of their children to get into a home of their own. And that’s a connection that needs to be made.”

Anglosphere ailments: Housing shortages are currently hitting English-speaking countries much harder than other nations. As this graph from the Financial Times illustrates, The U.S., U.K., Australia, and more have experienced lower rates of housing growth than their European and East Asian peers.
