"It's one of the many factors impacting Australia's housing crisis — the 'Nimby
Paradox'.

At least that's what Griffith University Cities Research Institute director
Paul Burton calls it.

He says the paradox is when residents oppose changes that could increase
housing in their suburbs, but complain when workers are priced out of an area.

But at the end of the day, cities need people to run, he says."
