@NicolaWillisMP Some good initiatives here but devil is in the detail. At the heart, NZ needs an ecosystem of solutions to address housing supply, affordability while also ensuring capital markets are protected. BTR can be key to delivering vibrant cities, sustainable supply but needs tax reform
New housing supply reflecting interesting trends, our cities are getting denser (townhouses +40%), development of apartments being hard to stack up financially (-13% vs 2019) and our population is getting greyer (+53% retirement housing) but we still love standalone homes (+15%)
