So what is the counter to that assertion?

So Peter, Federal Parliament has a review underway.

What would you like to see from that Federal Parliament review?

boy oh boy construction costs are not helping are they for new builds on the rise at the moment it's not helping but it's i think people overstate their significance

And since we're talking about, you know, builds and restrictions, particularly on land, one of the counters for land use restrictions, especially around high density housing, is that it's ugly and overcrowding along with noise, which will change the character of established neighbourhoods, which I guess is, you know, very valid.

But what do you think the balance overall with regard to social priority needs to sort of be in this area?

We talked about the Federal Parliamentary Review, which is underway, and I guess they've got to sort of take in the high-density housing.

I mean, that's all sort of consideration, isn't it, for them?

It is.

Do you think that incentives for local bodies should be sort of tied back to, you know, something like a federal review?

Exactly.

And coming back to that question about high density and how people are opposed to it, there is a bit of a silver lining with regard to all of that.

And let's keep it in mind that with urban density does actually increase jobs and wages, doesn't it?

So there's a bit of a positive spinoff.

Hey, Peter, thanks for coming on to the Real Estate Podcast.

I feel that we've just sort of scratched the surface and we will have to get you back another time and sort of double down a little bit on this very issue.

But thank you so much for coming on to the Real Estate Podcast.

Thanks a lot, Craig.

It was fun.
