The absolute state of housing in Australia at the minute - rent a caravan in a driveway in a semi-rural locality, only $200/week!

10000$ a year rent for something that to buy new is 16k
22... and no shower / toilet.
11and that trailer itself is worth about $1000
3You couldn't pay me $1000 to take that trailer. It's a total piece of shit at the end of its life.

Shit's fucked. Could be a scam too. Apparently common on Facebook at the moment people advertise a room or something like this and then when people start messaging they ask for the first week payment to secure it before everyone else.
So they get a dozen or so people's $200.
22I 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 :(
20Seeing how the rent is on a weekly basis I think so too. Drop 200 bucks and take out the family to the sea for a nice camping trip
5Seeing how the rent is on a weekly basis I think so too.
Seeing as you're from another instance I'm guessing you're not from Australia, and came across this thread on /All?
Weekly rent is, for some weird reason, the norm here. I know most of the world does it monthly, and frankly I think that makes more sense. But it's not how we do things in Aus.

Tell ‘em they’re dreaming!
17They 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.
12Fixable, yes; easily, no. One of the problems is land availability near services and transportation. The second is zoning laws which are not aligned with creating affordable housing. Both if those are processes which will take decades to truly solve, even with consistent, continuous vision and plan.

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.
7Am I poor or desperate enough to think that 800/mth is on the high end of reasonable?
For a caravan in the driveway of someone's semi-rural property?
7Sadly that's about how much it would be where I'm at.

For only $800 a month, you can be homeless if you work hard enough!
6$800/month?
This would easily be $2000/month in BC, I've seen tons of ads like this
5I'm surprised we haven't seen this kind of thing in Vancouver yet. median 1bd apartment rents here are 3000CAD per month of 750/week for you Aussie cunts.
5Is this real?
4I was thinking of moving to Australia and this fears me
3Ugh to many spiders for me to ever think about moving to Bluey world.
3It should.
2
Wow, that sounds downright affordable compared to my rent.
3I read that everywhere is having housing problems. Why is that?
2Greed, capitalism.

Yeesh. I wonder how many people are doing this, renting out their caravans like this.
2I know a few people living in them and similar odds and ends. Lots of trips into the house for amenities, some pissing into a jug because the walk is too long for regular bathroom trips

Is Brisbane this bad? Have heard of syd, melb and cbr being like this but somehow assumed things were netter up north.
1Yeah 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.
4Whoa. Thats messed up

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.

I mean, you could just not rent it.
