Sydney's Inner West Council (IWC) claims its "Fairer Futures" plan will help address the dire housing affordability crisis by building tens of thousands of new homes. But housing campaigners are warning that affordable homes will be demolished to make way for expensive, luxury apartments.
Erina Delinicolas and Duncan Roden are renters at 50–52 Warren Road in Marrickville, the first site slated for demolition under the new plan. They joined the Green Left Show to discuss why the IWC's pro-developer plan is flawed and suggest alternatives that put people before profit.
Both are involved in the Better Future Coalition, a group of Inner West residents who are campaigning against the Fairer Future plan, calling for more affordable and public housing, genuine consultation with residents and a better planning system.
