Why
We are in a housing crisis because governments are giving developers land and tax breaks.
Cheap apartments in Warren Road Marrickville are being demolished so their landlord can build an expensive apartment block and make exorbitant profits.
Tenants in Ewart St, Marrickville will be evicted in January because their landlord wants to turn the block of apartments into short term holiday stays (Airbnb).
Both sites are within the Inner West and the Council just passed a so-called "Fairer Futures" which is a proposal to build 33,000 mostly private, expensive apartments. With only 2% "affordable" housing. Affordable housing is 80% of market rent so not affordable.
We rally to demand the landlords back off from eviction plans.
We call on the Inner West Council to deliver on their so-called "affordable" and pro-young people housing promises and resist the eviction with the tenants.
We call on the state government to intervene and build housing for people, not profit and guarantee young renters genuine housing security.
