Foreign home ownership makes up a relatively small part of our housing market. Focus on it is mostly a misdirection from the real causes of our cost-of-living problem which is home grown housing speculation and lack of investment in social housing.

It’s not the ONLY reason housing is fucked but 6.2% isn’t nothing.
