Has #Clark resigned yet for his epic failure to address #housingaffordability and his failure in overseeing the #greenbelt land swap?
According to this handy website, still nope!

Housing activists are focusing on #zoning #reform as essential to #housingaffordability. And they are right to do so. But as they make the case to citizens, neighborhood leaders and elected officials, they must be careful of verbs. Ending the iron grip of single-family zoning isn’t about abolishing anything; it’s about allowing things: more neighbors, better land use, more retail in walking distance, better transit … and higher land values. https://ggwash.org/view/90460/let-fairfax-county-grow

Really interesting episode of the ABC's Four Corners program this week: https://youtu.be/JwqdvttDwUI
Along with the ongoing issues the building industry is facing, including skills and product supply shortages, the episode looks at a dodgy Sydney-based development firm the corporate regulators haven't touched.
"Dyldam was once a towering force. Its apartments still line the streets and light up the skyline of western Sydney.
"But for more than a decade, the Dyldam group has left a trail of misery behind it that includes bankrupt businesses, unpaid taxes, tradies denied payment for work they've done, suppliers ripped off, and anguished apartment buyers stuck with defective buildings — one built so badly it posed a hazard to human life.
"Time and again, a litany of potential law-breaking has been identified by those brought in to clean up the mess left by busted Dyldam companies.
"Yet, for years the corporate regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), took no action."

It all seems broken with no solutions on the horizon.
Buildings are getting worse and at the same time more expensive.
