The problem is so bad, that I've had to pass by management opportunities because I couldn't really afford the relocation.  That is to say, the job was on the otherside of town, and the additional salary would mostly or all be consumed by the increased mortgage.

And it wasn't even a posh suburb like Kew or Camberwell either.  We were still looking in the outer suburban ring and things only became affordable at
the fringes.  There was no point taking a management role only to live in the fringes.

My parents purchased for less than that is a fairly good area in the 80s.  5
years ago or so a house, smallish one, across the street sold for a million.  Sold to an investor, of course.

I really don't get the lack of urgency on this matter.
