Speaker 1: This is the Fitting in Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 2: Can we talk about the housing crisis? Pas, Let's talk

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: about our.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 3: House because the unrealistic view now that you can buy

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 3: your first house anywhere near the Sydney CBD is just

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 3: getting further away for everybody, isn't it.

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: Well, it depends those two towers that have been announced.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Bits have you seen that two towers for Sydney The

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: height of Sydney Tower. One's going to be three hundred

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: and nine meters high and the other one's going to

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: be three hundred and five meters high.

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 4: Where are they building in the city in the CBD.

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 4: That's what's been proposed. Do you know what we need

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: to go smaller? This was in the Daily Telegraph and

15
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 4: it's unbelievable. I'm going to put it up on your screen.

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 4: But they're talking now that.

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: We would live in capsules and it's already kicked off

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: because there's one on seven hundred and fifty two George Street.

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty dollars per week you pay rent

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: and you basically get a small capsule to sleep in.

21
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: And so it's a building, it's a unique accommodation and

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable because in your capsule you obviously you get

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: USB charging ports, it's all modern powerpoints. You get a

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: private key card access, there's air ventilation. You get like

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: a tiny little safe to put all your small personals in,

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: and then you get to share around there. Obviously there's

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: pool tables, there's living areas, our communal living areas. It

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: looks like a spaceship.

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Though, don't it looks like a space aged prison cell. Yes,

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: and you can hang out with other inmates. Is that right?

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Fits in the Actually.

32
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: I find it quite comfortable. And these photos that we

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: are looking at like it's a tiny little space you

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: couldn't stand in that. I would not be able to

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: stand in it. There's other ones that are I mean,

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: that's a bigger room. The one that I'm showing you

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: there is a bigger room. There's smaller capsules that are

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: basically they're on top of each other. You can get

39
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: three capsules on top of each other.

40
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Do you know what?

41
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: You could say good night to people around you, Kate

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: and just climb up a ladder of other capsules and

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: get into your capsule at the.

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: Top like a little cocoon. Night frosy, oh mate, see

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: do you know we work, right? You know the business

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: we work. There's one here in Piermont, the huge buildings

47
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: and they're shared off of spaces. So if katee Kate

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Richie's handmade knitter jumpers wants her business wants a workstation

49
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: in an area, you can do it in a communal

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: space that we work. COVID killed that business had a

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: couple of issues beforehand.

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: If they stacked it out with those little capsules, capsules,

53
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 5: those little seed pods, right, you could come out, you

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 5: can play pool, you use the fridge and the facilities.

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: I don't want to come out into the lounge room

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: and play pool.

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

58
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: I won't even answer the door when someone knocks on

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: the front.

60
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: Don't become home friends, though, Kate.

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: If you're young, though, and you're right in the heart

62
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: of the Sydney CB, you are right in the crux

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: of it. You're there and it's your only opportunity, isn't it?

64
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: Because where else are you going to live? For two

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty bucks a week and everything at your doors.

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: Every liture, jaw step, I'm going to sign you up,

Speaker 1: Kate Richie.

68
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty bucks a week is very cheap.

69
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Do you know the other thing I'm thinking fits. I

70
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but as a dad of three kids,

71
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: if there was somewhere I could sneak off to during

72
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: the day, and when Lisa thinks I've got a day

73
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: of back to back meetings, I'm just in my little capsule.

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: That's not just a comatosed block out the rest of

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: the world and my first family. Yeah.

76
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: I was actually going to go the other way and

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: buy three by two capsules or three capsules, but you

78
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: can have one as well, and you can lock the

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: kids in the capsule.

80
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: You can still explore the city without anybody.

81
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: You're out, Tommy, can you find out how much it is?
