Hi Pinto
We've been making strawberry jam. A plant escaped from a pot and took to the mulch. Sadly most newish homes on 600sqm blocks don't have space for a vegetable patch or some chooks. Yurts in old fashioned quarter or half acre back yards may become a necessity for many. We can but wait and see.
Trump's debt fuelled, poorly timed and unnecessary stimulus and tax cuts have maybe 6 months to run and so prior to the Huawei crisis I believed the market collapse would come from elsewhere. The US is not the centre of the economic or legal universe. If we were only dealing with Trump's nonsense I wouldn't be worried. The money owed by so-called emerging markets to EU banks and shadow banks combined with insufficient global economic growth is a much deeper fundamental problem IMHO.
People always need "suitable" and "affordable" housing. When housing markets have fully bottomed for a while I expect a follow-on (upwards) return to historic affordability levels. 2020 maybe a good year to invest in residential real estate.
cheers
