An Aussie bloke has claimed Australia’s housing market has left the majority of first home buyers ‘screwed’ in an expletive-laden rant.
His furious tirade started as a critique of a housing development in Box Hill, 48km north-west of Sydney, but it quickly escalated.
The man, who shared the video under the username ‘Soaringvlogs’, was horrified by how closely the houses were built and the subsequent privacy concerns.
‘You might have put a bit more land on each house,’ he said.
‘It’s all just houses. There’s no yard, there’s nothing, there’s no space to do nothing.
‘Who in their f***ing right mind would want their neighbour to look at you in your own f***ing backyard or in your lounge room and the f***ing neighbour in their bathroom?’
As his frustration grew, the man declared Sydney’s brutal housing market was a symptom of a nationwide problem.
‘You’re best off to f*** off up the coast or down the coast – or go to f***ing Perth or Gold Coast because Sydney living, especially for anyone my generation and younger, you’re screwed, buddy. You’re screwed,’ he said.

He suggested neighbours in Box Hill had no privacy as their homes were too close together
‘There’s no way you’re buying a house unless you get some inheritance, or you get real successful with a business, or you do some really good investing.’
The man then moved his attention to the threat of AI robots.
‘With all the other robot s***… that’s coming too. They’re gonna take your job. What do you got left? Got nothing, mate, you got nothing,’ he said.
He then took aim at Labor’s First Home Buyers Scheme, which was introduced to help buyers purchase a home with a five per cent deposit.
On October 1, it was rebranded as the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme with unlimited places, no income caps and increased property price caps.
But the man warned Aussies the scheme was ‘full of twists and turns’.
‘They’ll get you stuck for life, mate,’ he said. ‘They just want you in a debt trap, and it’s the way they’re doing it to everyone my age and below.

‘I’m 26 years old and… I’m trying to do things the best way I know how. This is definitely not the way to go if you’re a first home buyer, that is for sure.’
Aussies shared their shock at the cramped development.
‘I grew up in Box Hill. Was beautiful. Where the hell did all the trees go!!’ one said.
‘I live in Jordan Springs and was one of the first to build down the street. But no one tells you how close your next door neighbour is to you,’ a second wrote.
‘You can pretty much high five them. There is no privacy at all.’
But a third said there were some positives to the neighbourhood.
‘I live here in Box Hill and yes it’s overcrowded, road infrastructure is non existent and it’s overpriced,’ they said.
‘But it’s a quiet, clean and safe neighbourhood for me to live, at the end of the day.’
