Australia's housing crisis needs a "policy revolution", but is a sweeping "one-size-fits-all" solution the answer? 🤔

This week on the podcast, Owen Davis and Nick Bendel dive into a MASSIVE housing reform proposal that could dramatically reshape our cities and our property markets!

🚨 The 3-Storey Game Changer Nick reveals the Grattan Institute's bold proposal: allowing developers to build 3-storey townhouses and apartments on ALL residential zoned land in capital cities, with no minimum lot sizes. This reform is modelled to increase housing construction across Australia by up to 67,000 homes per year and potentially reduce the median rent by 12% and the median property price by more than $100,000 over a decade!

🚧 The Debate: Bulldoze the Inner West? Owen pushes back on the "blanket approach" , arguing that while some areas—like the "inner W" of Sydney—are "ripe for redevelopment" and he suggests making them up to five stories , a single rule for every suburb presents a huge trade-off: speed of development versus essential checks and balances. The hosts explore the conflict between faster supply and maintaining suburb character.
