Renters spend 10 times as much on housing as petrol. Where's their cost-of-living relief?

absolutely. Its really tough. My overall point is that it is right to complain but all we can do in the meantime is find ways to overcome things. It isnt right to have housing prices so high, people in temporary jobs etc and no stability. That doesnt mean you abuse people when they dont jump on your bandwagon. Absolutely I am disgusted to see house prices get out of reach, but aside from calling that out we all have to do whatever it takes. I know it sounds heartless when you say it, but I dont mean it in a heartless way. I really feel sorry for young people chasing unattainable goals and that sense of zero future and everything being a wasted effort. Its an awful feeling to have uncertainty and instability
