As a NZ university student, I see this all around me. As the youngest in an old family, we got what would now be considered a middle-class home on a working-class budget in the early 90s. All the other students I know with working-class backgrounds have family homes well beyond the city, forcing them to live like broke arts students in broken-down shoebox apartments. Even middle-class students tend to have "compromise" family homes, either big homes at the city outskirts or tiny homes in the city centre. As you may have noticed, families who have owned homes since the 90s are doing pretty well for themselves. They also happen to be the majority voting bloc. The opposition parties are going to have to do some serious politicking to break through this firewall.
