The Housing Crisis Fix That’s Doomed to Fail: Why More Apartments Won’t Solve the Problem

There's an old saying: 

"If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail." 

In this instance, the problem is the housing crisis, and the tool that keeps being used to fix the problem is more apartments.

‍

More Apartments, More Problems

Governments and developers keep pushing high-rise apartments as the silver bullet for the housing crisis. 

But let’s be real—this approach is failing. The rush to build more and build fast has led to a flood of poorly constructed apartments riddled with defects. 

From flammable cladding to water leaks and structural cracks, these issues don’t just create headaches—they destroy confidence in apartment living.

‍

Australians Have Been Burnt—Literally

Remember the cladding crisis? What about the countless stories of residents stuck with repair bills they can’t afford? When new apartments become a liability instead of an asset, people stop buying. And if no one is buying, no amount of new supply will fix affordability.

‍

The High-Rise Hype Doesn’t Add Up

Developers and policymakers push apartments under the guise of affordability, but the reality is starkly different. 

Strata fees, ongoing maintenance issues, and declining resale values make them a risky investment. 

Instead of creating long-term housing solutions, we’re left with buildings that barely last a decade before major issues surface.
