But tensions simmer: Treasury says current policies favor buyers over builders, while the Productivity Commission chair leads a fresh review focused squarely on supply-side solutions, arguing that more homes built will do more to tame prices than tax tweaks alone. With a massive 1.2 million homes still needed by 2029, the government is racing to gather input, pushing states with funding and backing construction businesses. Meanwhile, falling prices in major cities spark debate—could lower prices actually help the economy? Experts say meaningful drops require sustained supply growth over years. The plan’s complexity and competing views make clear: housing reform is urgent, messy, and far from simple. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
