To eliviate the chronic housing shortage in Australia I propose a system where public investments is tied to public realestate, where industries and companies who flote a share issue on the stockmarket are required to invest a fixed percentage of the raised capital into realestate for public rental purposes. ownership is retained as part of their assetts and maintaind to be available for public rental on longterm leases.This could be handled through real estate agents in competition with the private speculative rental housing market, at the same time the negative gearing concept should be reviewd and public rental tied to the CPI index.
