Could it be more cost of living and less huge taxes? Income tax in Australia is nothing up to AU$18,200, but house pricing is remarkably high.

I think it will all come to a head soon enough, and housing affordability is just about the first thing I'd be tackling.

Taxing income, instead of land, is already rent seeking

What about the most regressive tax scheme there, VAT, and sales tax in the US?
