Even if this sweeping generalisation is true, what chance are you giving them with such an inflated market?

I'm not a housing bubble person, but we reputably have some of the most expensive housing in the world...that's a huge title to have.

And likely highest wages to go with it can't have one without the other

People are lazy man and you would know plenty of the I'm too good for that job crowd as I do, which has opened the door for Indian and Chinese migrants to come in and take the jobs and flows on to the houses

Didn't say it's making zero impact but the media are create a half story, in sure your aware all those established properties are 100% off limits to foreigners right? So ok they look Chinese perhaps they are perhaps second generation but they are citizens as entitled to buy as you and I.

Also Did u see there are other nations buying more than the Chinese? Nobody minds the Americans?

Actually the Chinese have overtaken the Americans.

Also it's the second generation buying the property, then breaking it up and selling the lot to internationals.

The wages are not proportionally high. If I could be bothered I'd go searching for that graph that shows the median wage : house price and how much closer it was in our parents heyday, but I'm part of that generation so I won't.

Edit: found an article (unfortunately news.com.au, but the facts remain)

The ratio has nearly tripled in terms of housing affordability

The point remains, whatever you want to say about a generation of people, housing in Australia is getting ridiculous. It's a problem you should be concerned about, because it means more tax on you to fund the welfare of people who can't afford their own housing, whether they have shitty work ethic or not.

either way it's a beat up to blame it all on foreigners and ignore every other factor influencing the market and I'm sure nobody will worry if the apartment market falls off a cliff and the foreign investors lose a bunch of money

I dont understand why you think the Chinese aren't affecting the house prices though Alex? Come sell some houses in the South East, particularly Box Hill and now venturing out into Burwood and surrounding suburbs. You're looking at over 1 million dollars for lots of sub-par houses.

Conflict of Interest - Where do you think his Pay check comes from? Either way, directly or indirectly, Alex is riding the housing boom for all its worth. :P

No different to me proclaiming the benefits of coal to Australia.

No one is saying it's solely the Chinese causing the issues...

Yes however those graphs ignore the significant changes of interest rates dual income households been the norm and so on. I can't be bothered on a Sunday going into it further

Believe everything the media tells you if you wish but I can tell you it won't get you any closer to owning a property whining about it

interest rates don't come close to bridging that gap and duel incomes don't mean a thing seeing as both before and after figures are based off a single average wage

for someone who works in a bank ham you seem to have little idea about this stuff.

If you think buying today vs buying 20+ years ago is comparable it's ridiculous. Average wage is one measure with a favorable "houses cost to much" argument. population increase alone tells a large part of the story to prices

I find it so Strange that they are so crazy unaffordable yet literally thousands of properties are transacting sooo how come they can afford it? Can't all be high income earners.. Reminds me of the bubble thread wonder how those circle jerkers feel about the couple hundred grand they lost by not buying lol

Are you serious...I just told you that a moment ago

Yeah but how can you use a sample size from one suburb/west 'burbs to represent the buying population of Australia?

That doesn't fly with statistics yo'

Where my statistical brothers at?

I love that is the exact story that AU ahd in laste 80's early 90's when we were going to be bought out by a japanese.

this is a short term thing. some of the big investors in Chain see the market there is about to go to shit so they buying up to protect some money.

when market stabilizes in China they will sell and reinvest at the dirt cheap market there.

(and prob drive us to a new recession like last time but that a different story)

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
