No mention of CGT then.
Not sure I get your point but agree that the boomers vs gen x,y,z,etc shouldn't be a focus on the housing affordability debate. Solutions joined up or disjointed are required. More houses built deals with supply, restrictions on foreign ownership could reduce demand. Cross the board capital gain tax reduces the tax advantages. This also comes back to the central bank policy as well. Policy is for 2% inflation so rents are rising while debt reduction gets 2% easier each year. I guess everyone has cottoned onto this and therefore buying houses even at elevated levels should pay off long term provided central banks(and the financial system) have their backs.
