My thoughts are that anyone who has the capacity to pay those prices on an ongoing basis would be employed and more likely to want some privacy .. not be living in someone's yard
And while I understand and appreciate your position re expenses, many people who rent out these flats want cash only, so they do not have to declare the income and pay tax on it .. and in turn that means they won't sign Centrelink rental assistance forms.
So the low income earners/Centrelink recipients are still homeless..

There is a 'Homeshare' program going on... I am not sure how it works, but its for people who are old and need company...

But what about young people
serene56: But what about young people
They'll just have to wait...............till they get old.tonyxf: They'll just have to wait...............till they get old.
And that ain't what it's cracked up to be
serene56: And that ain't what it's cracked up to be
Seriously, theres no solution.tonyxf: Seriously, theres no solution.
I have come to this conclusion, sadly.
serene56: But what about young people
Dunno hun... young ones tend to stop home with mum and dad, until they get on their feet...
I think that is becoming the trend more and more... or sharehouse
Footrot flats makes more sense than garden etc ...
Merriweather: Hheheheh... But in truth, yes, there are lotsa homeless people, people living in cars, and caravans in friends back yards..
I'm just so happy i have my house as i'd never be able to afford rent. They are really high in qld as well, and lack of commission homes for people in need, there is such a long waiting list.
serene56: Thought for the day The going rate at present for the privilege of living in someone's backyard .. garden flat, granny flat, converted garage .. is $250 PER WEEK.
Something is very wrong here, no wonder so many are homeless and families are living in cars when in addition to this, the waiting period in this state for Department of Housing accommodation is over 15 YEARS.

Hi Serene , I think this is ok concidering it includes utilities, in saying that I am so glad I am buying a house its costing me now but at least I always have the option of renting a room out or downsizing later,
it varies where you live the prices, i know i was paying a 100 aweek less for a far better house in adelaide than the one im in up here in brisbane ,ive found when i was searching up here the houses are far more run down too.if u want a decent one u will pay big money,add to that my workshop rent too its hard when ur single and there is only one imcome coming into a house but if u want it u find it from somewhere,whats the alternative a caravan or tent,i got 3 bedroom place here i could rent out ,but no thanks i prefer my privacy someone else living with you .. would have to be someone u really got on with ,im not into bickering and arguements and im a clean freak ,so unless they were an ocd mute monk then not for me 
tonyxf: always wondered what would happen if I couldnt afford my house.
Rent out the house, and go sleep in the shed.
That's why I can't understand foreclosures in this country. Rent the bloomin thing out for a fortune and go live in a tree house or something until you're on your feet again

serene56: Not enough housing, not enough jobs, and what happens to those who are unable to work but need a roof over their heads
The unemployed will share accommodation with others and people on lower income will do the same. Young people are moving back to their parents. This will free up a lot of rental units and will lead to a dramatic oversupply, which in turn will lead to falls in rents, which in turn will accelerate the fall in real estate prices. Prices and rents cannot hold up for long during difficult economic times.
What speculators have done over the last 10-20 years is daylight robbery. They robbed everyone's present and future. I think most of them will have their wealth evaporated and go belly up.
