ZG #7 - Australia's Housing Crisis: Exposing the Collapse (Part 4/12)
The Great Australian Dream is dead—and it’s not coming back unless we take bold action.
In this explosive episode of The Finance Bible, Zeke Guenthroth exposes why home ownership has become a pipe dream for an entire generation. From the 1980s to 2025, housing prices have spiralled from 3.3x income to 11.2x nationally—and nearly 14x in Sydney—locking out everyday Australians and creating the most unaffordable property market in the world.
We break down the structural failures driving this crisis:
- Mass immigration outpacing supply
- Government policy favouring investors over first home buyers
- Zoning restrictions and red tape delaying critical land releases
- A construction sector buckling under labour shortages and insolvency
- How inflated prices are tied to Australia’s declining birth rate and collapsing family structure
Compare Australia with global players like Poland, Japan, the UAE, Canada, and the U.S. to see what we can learn—and what we're doing disastrously wrong.
Zeke doesn't just rant—he provides real solutions. From reforming immigration to rethinking first home grants, discover what must change to restore affordability and make owning a home possible again.
