Melbourne, Australia
Sharing the common wealth from natural resources is the paradigm shift that global warming demands. Then affordability and sustainability can be met with one swoop on the tax system. Shift taxes off our incomes and onto natural resources so that life is simplified and green guilt minimised.

karl commented on the article |Such piss in the wind policies are demonstrative of the bind that governments fund themselves in when lobbyocracy prevails. Here in Australia we have the same problem you have - speculators holding society to ransom.
We have a published vacancy rate for housing at 'record lows' here in Melbourne, but yet our I Want to Live Here survey found that there was a 7% genuine vacancy rate rather than the 0.7% published. Marketed scarcity helps bump up prices for those who already own some of the planet.

Stop speculation in the building blocks of life - the natural resources we were all gifted, by switching taxes off our hard work and onto the land and natural resources that should be used for housing, not hocking.
