Me too; and that’s as someone already paying off a mortgage.

I want a bright future for all of our kids, where they’ll be able to afford a home and raise happy families for their own.

While I don’t think the proposals in the budget go far enough to fully ensure such a future - it is already much better than doing nothing at all.

At least this way, the landlord-investor class will be funnelled into building new homes, increasing the overall pool available - and hopefully applying some downward pressure on price increases of existing homes.

Though I do foresee a surge in building demand causing a blow-out in labour and materials costs in the very short term while those industries ramp up to meet an increased demand.
