Very true.  Considering over 90% of property "investors" tend to buy pre existing dwellings, and negatively gear those properties, it's a massive drain on the budget and massive drain on the economy.  Shelter is now worth over $5T, yet it's basically false wealth.


I often think one of the way reasons our productivity is so crap these days is because the value of the land for business is so high.  A country the size of Australia and we've somehow woven ourselves up in zoning laws and restrictive development processes that it costs too much to build practically anything.
