affordable what?

Something that keeps me up at night is the fact that my sister is trying buy a house, it is almost imposable for her to afford a house on her good fulltime income. Making home ownership affordable can’t be as hard as people make it out to be. Maybe we could make a proportion of every new housing development affordable housing. Also we could look at a stamp duty concession scheme; this really needs reform so people can afford to buy houses the right for them. Its shocking that average ACT house rents are the highest in Australia and rising rapidly. Since 2001 the number of both public and private rental properties have fallen. This has happened because the ACT Government has sold more housing than it has acquired and the holdings of private landlords have also fallen. The number of homeless people is also rising, with emergency housing services unable to cope with demand.

Affordable housing
The scary thing about housing prices being impossible to afford is that people who are looking to buy/rent are having trouble now in the next 5 years or so It's going to be much worse and personally I want to see the lower but I don't see that ever happening anyway.
