Everyday I wake to headlines that baffle me. Both good and bad.
The bad stuff is absurd & I'm shocked when anything good comes out of this shitty timeline we're living through.
What's kept me going is the progressive community that has risen up to make it a better world, esp the #bhn fam ❤️

Nonone SAVED hard for a rental property.
They leveraged the capital gained on their 1st or 2nd property to buy it...
EVERYONE who works hard and has to rent because they're priced out HATES landlords.
Besides you can evade the CGT by selling up before July 2027

"And it will hit every Kiwi who saved hard for a rental property…”
… AND went on to sell that property for unearned profit.

Imagine reacting like "ew CGT to fund free GP visits" 🤣
I think it's very clever to tie the CGT to a tangible thing like free doctor visits. Otherwise it becomes a "booooooo Labour taxes moooooore" drama (I mean, it still will be but less so) #nzpol

That's because Ben Bell who got reelected for mayor is young and energetic and gives the people of the town a vision for the future, despite all of the shit the council threw at him in the beginning.
