In this episode, we challenge the growing media and political narrative blaming older Australians for the housing crisis.
With new data from Australian Seniors and PropTrack, we unpack why the push to guilt Baby Boomers into downsizing is not only misguided — it's deeply unfair and factually wrong.
We expose the lazy policy thinking behind the idea that empty nesters are hoarding homes, and explain why the real culprits are chronic supply shortages, failed planning systems, outdated pension rules, and a political class allergic to real reform.
From rising relocation costs to a lack of suitable alternatives, we examine the complex reasons why downsizing isn't the easy fix the headlines claim.
This is a must-listen for anyone tired of shallow blame games and looking for real solutions to Australia’s housing crisis.
