[Article] - Sick and tired of chasing dreams of finding a home

[Phteven]

I believe they have CC in outer suburbs and in the city.

People can get into the property market with investment properties. It's possible to buy a small unit in a cheaper suburb and rent it out to get your foot on the ladder and work it from there. You don't need to live in your first home and it doesn't need to have a home theatre either. Lots of our parents generation started out in the kind of dodgy unit that the writer is so scornful of.
And TBH if he's sick of being underquoted then why doesn't he just do the math and figure out the correct figure?

ETA - I am feeling very bitter about anything to do with housing at the moment because I am moving in a week and moving freaks me out and when I freak out I get irrationally grumpy.
