I love it when they moan about the lack of new housing. Its such a fantastic trend after all.

You are most probably right there. So does that mean we should just maintain the fear indefinitely and one day we will be proven right?

Indian use to believe that you are only truly free if you live with no fear
Expectation of RE crash is hardly a fear as such. People would not share fears, they hide them. I would not think that anyone here is truly expressing any fear.
Yes people it is all doom and gloom. If you own property and you hang onto it you will implode. You really should get out while you can. Sell me your houses for 20cents. I shall then rent them to people who require accommodation (since nobody will own their own home they will have to rent) for whatever price I fancy. Mwahahahhahhah.

No, no. Far from it. What I meant to say was, don't live in eternal fear. Every few years or so, some false prophet comes out and says that the end of the world is near. What rubbish! It will be good to live everyday as if it were our last, and I wish I could do that. But such prophecies should not instill fear and dread into an individual and cripple him/ her from making any real decisions in life.
Each of us will make decisions that will best ensure our happiness, consciously or unconsciously. Currently I really hate having to work.
But someday, I will be free!

Just got a letter from council yesterday about my BAD NEGATIVELY-GEARED property. They're considering to realign locality boundaries. I voted 'yes' immediately!
If that pushes through, it'd turn a property in a lovely location with a B-grade locality to an A-grade on both counts. I have been waiting for this letter for months.
Happy times ahead! There's still good news to be found amid doom and gloom.
Nice one, fWord! What suburb are you in at the moment, and what suburb will you be considered to be a part of when they shift the boundaries?

Socialist and communist is what your land use authority are.

I think you might be familiar with this area. A part of North Geelong is proposed to become Rippleside. Some people would probably argue that it's much of a muchness, but IMHO it is a big win if we get the boundary moved. Back in the days when I was buying, a local specifically told me to be careful to actually buy in the area of Rippleside, rather than neighbouring North Geelong.
Still the same postcode ultimately, but Rippleside sounds helluva lot nicer than North Geelong!
Certainly, the lies from our political leaders are entertaining. But how many more revolutions, riots, defaults, bank runs, stimulus packages, nationalizations, tax increases, pension grabs, etc. will it take to acknowledge what’s happening?
Can anyone afford to keep ignoring reality? Can you?I think this article is kid of apt considering the circumstances and the recent posts.

But in Brisbane…. I had vacancy now for 6 weeks…Sorry to hear this simple. Why do you think that it isn’t renting.

I think that a lot of us become risk averse as we grow older, chance taking is frowned upon, failure is seen as a weakness, it is hidden and buried. When In reality most success is built on failure, two sides of the same coin. I plan to have some massive failures in the future, if I don’t I probably aint living to my fullest potential.

Yes I was being sarcastic in my post that you quoted. Its just a game after all and there is no such thing as the future only the present moment and the next present moment. If you can get some joy out of the present moment then there is nothing else that will provide it.

I suspect people like yourself will simply get bigger blinkers and cocoon themselves in make believe world where all is well.
Meanwhile people like myself are concerned about where government is going with many things. The Australian government is well and truly in bed with the yanks and adopting some of their tactics. That actually scares the hell out of me. There is absolutely nothing the US government will not do to its people to achieve its political, military and financial aims. It is aided and abetted by its suck-up friend Australia.
You have to worry when a guy like Julian Assange can’t get any support from his own govt/country. You’re better off being a Bali drug smuggler than anyone who fronts the US over its criminal activities.
