Yeah I get where you're coming from. I'm doing OK myself, I earn an average wage as an engineer. I pay 40 percent of my income to rent, but I'm not struggling because I have a basic life. I chose not to have a car. Bike everywhere. But I think about people like my sister, who lives on disability support and relies on food donations. I'm worried that the flow on effects will result in rent increases again. I wish the gov would entertain rent caps. There are some people in this country who have no safety margin at all, and they are falling through the cracks.
