Goodness, how can the media spin our housing crisis into a positive?

Unaffordable housing is a good thing? Nice one ABC.... 🤮

Nothing positive here at all .. ABC please have some truth in your headlines

It is in a housing crisis like the rest of the country, nothing good is coming out of it at all. If they build new homes, the rent will still be too high for most to cope.

Sadly it’s a terrible indication for how unemployed people are going to end up homeless when they can’t afford rent let alone anything else
