What type of home do you live in?

The government has faced some criticism for its new housing plan.

AS HOUSING MINISTER James Brownes publicly vows to “end the housing crisis” within his four-year term, the government has touted a few new measures in its newly released housing plan.

Among them are new apartment design standards, a scrapping of the target number of new builds, and, according to the Sunday Times, light encouragement for older people to split their homes into flats.

So today we’re asking you: What type of home do you live in?
