In this episode of This Must Be The Place Elizabeth chats with Professor Carolyn Whitzman, on the eve of Carolyn winding up her 16 years at the University of Melbourne. Carolyn will now be heading back to Canada, specifically to Ottowa (“like a Canadian Adelaide”). In the episode she explains how being an academic was her second career, after working as an activist and ‘femocrat’ on violence prevention programs in Toronto. While her early contacts with Melbourne were as part of a campaign against an Olympic bid (“Bread not Circuses”), after completing her PhD and morphing into ‘pracademic’, Carolyn eventually moved to Melbourne to take up an academic position. Here she reflects on some of the themes in her research, teaching and projects in that time - which have been broad ranging but which have tended to centre on ideas of rights, marginality, and inclusivity. This episode focuses more on Carolyn’s work on affordable housing: on reasserting housing as a basic need or right, versus its role in wealth creation and inequality. She discusses working with housing developers and with their perceptions of how to adapt different models of affordable housing provision to the local context. There have been some projects and innovations that have cut through – for example a recent Launch Housing project of modular housing on a road allowance, and developments using airspace above parking lots. There is a slowly expanding understanding of what “good intensification” might mean. The challenge, Carolyn suggests, is how to scale affordable housing up – this an area where Canada offers some precedents, for example in Vancouver’s not for profit alliances, and the federal-level Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Carolyn hopes that her move to (and third career reinvention in) Ottawa, as it expands both its light rail system and its affordable housing sector, might mean “getting a little bit closer to the ideal of what an equitable and inclusive city would be like”. But there’s also much to take back from Melbourne, perhaps more so its public spaces and design culture, than its often-absurd transport and housing inequalities. Carolyn suggests that Melbourne doesn’t necessarily meet (and indeed sometimes is losing), “the preconditions for a decent life” but says that “I’d love everyone to be able to benefit from this beautiful city”. As well as being about rights to the city for diverse groups, more broadly the episode is about the challenges of change, and the fear that goes along with it. Also discussed: community participation, matching growth with planning and infrastructure, trust in government (lack thereof), cat fud and the far side, parking (versus football ovals = clash of titans?), Vancouver (Canada-lite), the idealism and motivation of students (versus the realities of exploitation and politicians that usually awaits them), public transport, Point Cook, federal government roles, planning schools, expertise, and generalisations about national anxieties. Note/apology: the episode is recorded in Carlton’s Kathleen Symes Library and Community Centre and has a fair bit of community background noise in it.

What is poverty? Often young people don't have money at all like me. Save a little money for the cost of living for enjoying the life to do something you like. Go to travel sometime in a while, have dinner with your friend in the weekend and wake up in my room. I'm happy with that quality of life. I'm maybe normal. In Japan, welfare is a hot topic. Last October, the welfare was decreased. Why? Everything getting expensive. Housing, tax, and food. I talked with my friend, he used to work in a hard working company. Usually, he worked 7days in a week. Often stayed at the company's restroom. However, his salary was lower than the average. I suggested him to accuse the company. I'm sure the compa would pay for the overtime work if he asked. But he was hesitant. I think he felt bad that he resigned the job. Off course he shouldn't feel that way. But, he was beaten. Apparently, he has depression. He is thinking to get the welfare. The amount of welfare is as high as his previous annual salary in the company. He said ”It's easy to live without working. Get the money and house with no effort” I am really sorry for him. I called him many times. We talked often when he was really sad. So many people live in poverty. Here in Australia, homeless is a big issue. In an urban area like Sydney and Melbourne, young people are struggling with homelessness. According to the report from the Housing think tank Ahuri, homelessness was increasingly concentrated in the capital cities, particularly Melbourne and Sydney. Last month, 25-year-old Courtney Herron was killed in the Parkville. According to the police investigation, she has no address. She was staying at her friend's house couches. She had a drag issue. The 27-year-old Henry Richard Hammond is in charge of this murder. He was also living on the road. In Melbourne city, you can see the commission's building. That is made for the emergency place for the homeless or people live in poverty. This month, the author Ahmed Yusuf walked near Melbourne central and encountered the homeless. He is from WA. Didn't say why nor how came to Melbourne. He begged him to borrow the cellphone. Yussuf called a crisis hotline on his behalf and was told to contact Launch Housing, a service in inner Melbourne. On calling them, he was told the man was ineligible for a bed because he was already registered to receive services in WA. There is not enough housing for the homeless or people live in poverty. Australia is a great country. Accept so many immigrants and expats. This housing issue is serious and urgent. Courtney Herron's made my heart broken. She was a hopeful youth. Fallen into drag issue. The immigration is responsible to give them a living place at least. Especially, winter in Melbourne is hard. So cold. This weather killing them.
