@cat key point: 'housing' does not necessarily mean something you own. Owning property is not a right!

@cat as soon as you said "should", suggests you think you're owed something. 

I'm so tired of this one-eyed storyline. Don't get me wrong, I sympathize that it's terribly unaffordable to buy in Sydney. But that is the reality of Sydney. There is no reason why you can't buy (to rent out) elsewhere, to "get on the ladder", as you say.
