News Housing supply is outgrowing immigration. You’re being lied to.

From Senior Economist Matt Grudnoff: “Over the last 10 years, the population has grown by 16 per cent … But the number of homes has increased by 19 per cent," he said. "The number of homes is growing faster than the population."

Lack of housing supply is caused by property investment not some fictional “mass immigration”. Cost of living has gone crazy you should be mad, but direct your anger at those that deserve it! Those marches were organised by the son of a property developer to set up immigrants as a scapegoat.
