Desperate Victorians are living in portables in their parent’s driveways and back yards to save money as the housing crisis continues to worsen

The portable rooms are available to rent on Facebook marketplace and range from $150 to $180 per week. Picture: Valeriu Campan

“There’s plenty of demand for people looking for a short term solution for accommodation,” Mr Nottle said. “Typically people place in their back yard or on their driveway back off the street a bit.” “Neighbours don’t really complain because people like the look of it, it doesn’t look like you’ve just dropped a big shipping container in your back yard,” Mr Nottle said.While there’s no bathroom included, the portable rooms do come with a weatherproof electrical socket powering two double power points, two internal downlights, a porch light, smoke alarm and a reverse cycle air conditioner.

They require a bond of $500 plus a one-month written notice to end the lease. The rooms can be delivered anywhere within a three to four hour drive from Melbourne for $250.

Of course It's terrible now days

Stop immigration now

Howard's Housing Crisis still haunts us. Even the NSW Coalition Government wanted to get rid of Capital Gains Tax Concessions brought in by Howard, yet the Herald Sun campaigned heavily against Shorten when he took it to an election. It's almost like they don't care.

Degrading. Thank you government. Democracy is thriving isn’t it?

Are we still going to continue with the myth that the only possible way to have a comfortable retirement is to own 4 rental/AirBnB properties? Surely there’s an alternative in a country as rich as Australia.

PRGuy17 your thoughts on this? Labor are smashing it

Stop whinging and asking for handouts and move regional if you can't afford it.

Well as long as we kill off a few more thousands using the safe & effective 💉💉💉, everything should balance out well.
