Yeah, I don’t buy the notion that communities closer to the centre are unaffordable. You get a lot less house in size and modern materials if you’re closer to the centre. But there are all sorts of older houses for under $400k in neighbourhoods like Kingsland, Fairview, Glamorgan, etc. People don’t necessarily move to the outer burbs for a cheaper house; they move for a bigger and newer house.

And it’s not clear to me that a retired couple who bought in a 1200 sq ft bungalow on a large lot in Southwood 30 years ago should be on the hook for a higher tax bill than a family of four with three cars who live in a 2300 sq ft house on a small lot in Auburn Bay.
