      They may not be dreaming. Rent elsewhere can easily be $450 per week.

    remember that this is easily fixable, all it takes is the government funding housing construction.

    Housing issues are a problem that the politicians decide we should have, stop giving them your votes.

    I don’t think listing is meant as somewhere to live (I hope) I think it’s meant for someone to rent to go on a roadtrip/camping with

    Edit: I missed the long term part at the bottom :(

    Am I poor or desperate enough to think that 800/mth is on the high end of reasonable?

    Although paying rent every week like they do in Australia is crazy to me still.

    For only $800 a month, you can be homeless if you work hard enough!

      Yeah it is, most rooms are 200+ in the inner suburbs, 3 bedrooms are easily 6-800/wk. I was somewhat depressed by the number of people bombarding me with offers when we had a spare room to fill.

      Sadly it is. I regularly go into Brisbane and have seen the amount of folks sleeping rough at least triple in the list couple of years.
