Blaming NIMBYs Won’t Fix Broken Housing Policy

Scapegoating has become Australia’s unofficial national sport — and nowhere is this more obvious than in the commentary surrounding our housing crisis.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the latest wave of finger-pointing, where so-called NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard) and Baby Boomers are being blamed for everything from unaffordable housing to stalled development.

But is the narrative that older Australians are refusing to downsize or that local residents are blocking new homes actually backed by evidence? Or is it a convenient distraction from deeper, more uncomfortable truths?

Tune in as we cut through the noise, challenge the conventional media narrative, and call for a more honest, evidence-based conversation about housing supply, planning, and political accountability.

Key topics covered:

The myth of downsizing as a supply solution
How NIMBY scapegoating distracts from systemic problems
Why development isn’t happening in many suburbs — and it’s not because of residents
The true barriers to building new homes in Australia
What needs to change for real housing reform to happen

If you're tired of the blame game and ready for a more informed look at the housing crisis, this episode is for you.
