NSW Premier Chris Minns wants to solve Sydney’s housing crisis by accelerating the supply of shoebox apartments.
A few weeks back, Minns argued that previous governments had been “timid” due to “the NIMBY [Not In My Backyard] backlash” and claimed the public conversation had shifted to “opening the gates to more urban consolidation and development”.
“I think Sydneysiders began to think maybe we don’t need to have urban slums, maybe we could have beautiful cities like Paris, London, New York – where people do live closer together but they’re great places to live”.
