ABC News (Australia) published this video item, entitled “How do we make sure regions are ready for possible COVID-inspired influx of residents? | The Drum” – below is their description.
The coronavirus pandemic has shown that many of us can work from basically anywhere. If you live in an urban area and no longer need to go into the office, you might be looking to move out of the city – and you wouldn’t be alone.
In the last year, the median price of Sydney homes rose by 4.5%, but outside of the city prices were up by almost double that amount. Byron Bay saw the biggest rise with the median cost of a home rising by 26% to $1.15 million.
So the question is, then, how do we strengthen regional areas and improve the livelihoods of those already living there without pricing them out of their own backyards?
