Do affordable housing projects drive down property values? Does neighbours’ quality of life suffer? Case studies in Brisbane and Sydney suggest such fears aren’t justified.
New research finds higher property prices are associated with higher household income and spending inequality.
Property inequality keeps on growing, stopping it will take strong principles and brave politicians.
The Sydney property market creates shocks that spill over to other capital cities, and Hobart is the worst affected, new research shows.
