ABSTRACT
In this conclusion, I restate the argument that persistent and seemingly intractable housing inequalities can be traced back to the neoliberal inspired priorities of governments in areas of taxation and welfare expenditure. In most instances, governments have sought to protect the value of property above many other concerns. For these reasons, housing outcomes are connected to wider structural issues relating to income and wealth. Whether or not governments are prepared to address wealth inequality in ways that are effective will, to a large extent, determine the housing outcomes of countless low-income and increasingly middle-class households.
