With the cost of living crises combined with the housing shortage I think everyone saw this coming. Some people have full time jobs and live in tents because they cannot get a house. Anyone who is surprised by the baby shortage is most likely rich and never had to experience what the rest of the population goes through.
Especially in Sydney. The trend will soon be people getting high paying jobs in Sydney then working remote from rural so they can put a roof over their head and have a family.
This will have a knock on effect for those rural communities. Property owners will like the high value on their property but those locals trying to get into their local market with their non-Sydney salaries are going to struggle. That's the can that has been kicked down the road.
