Apparently some Trotskyists don't like the authors of this column.
Nevertheless, housing policy in Auckland led to a 28% reduction in rent, relative to other NZ cities.
It is foolish not to ask whether other cities around the globe might learn from that.

Empty words do not build homes. Supply does. That means freeing up land where people want to live.

When the electorate realises that stimulating demand worsens affordability, the Federal government will need to do something to boost housing supply.
And not just social housing. Something for the 96% of households who live in market housing.

Detailed figures for the freaks out there. I'll be getting more of these on different configurations and include the other four Greater Brisbane councils over the next few weeks.

I've been working with @dbecon.bsky.social to work out some figures on Brisbane's zoning and we started looking at character restrictions.

Within 5km of Brisbane's CBD, a whopping 64% of all residential properties have some kind of character restrictions. That's 57% of land or 2,204 hectares.
