@steveUsename @peter_tulip The obvious solution would be to tax the land and remove monolopoly planning rights

@GeoffHanmer @heritage_why Train lines are nowhere near capacity, some trains are. If you increase density around train stations, passengers increase. This enables more trains to be put on, reducing wait times, while spreading rail infrastructure cost across more users reducing fares. Network economies.

@jayfeather31 @peter_tulip The fairest way would be raising funds through universal land tax and redistributing it via rent subsidies to those most in need. This won't happen. It also won't solve the problem of too few dwellings for those at the very bottom. Options like renting hotels and caravans could.

@Matt_Waitemata If I wanted my neighbour to take the rubbish out after 10pm I would do this.

@DrEliDavid @metpoliceuk It appears that London has fallen

@StuartBDonovan You should charge a higher price in Wellington, participants would be learning before they get into the class

@OperationalInc1 This is illustrates perfectly why you wouldn't put the Greens in charge of a budget, even when the stakes are as low as bog rolls.

@ShabbosK @KassyDillon @RabbiWolpe @BillAckman This Is Harvard.

@SwannMarcus89 If California didn't exist or disappeared the tech and entertainment industries would exist in other states. If California were a different nation those industries would never have arisen to that size, as they are a product of the whole of the US's market size.

@DrCameronMurray @BenPhillips_ANU Removing stamp duties on insurance would make sense

[Allan L @UndecidedStilll]

@KosSamaras He also misses a key point that you need some empty homes to have a well functioning market. With 1% vacancy we do not have that. If it were 0% rents would increase even faster.

@ajdlinux It is very bizarre that NIMBYs view people building housing on property they own as authoritarian. Some seem to think authoritarian means stuff I don't like.

[Allan L @UndecidedStilll]

@misha_saul The main reason is the architects, urban designers and planners, that is the people that design and regulate building design. The design professions insist on set backs that make six storey buildings touching each other illegal.

@swrighteconomy Possibly the consequences of covid policies?

[Allan L @UndecidedStilll]

@reynoldsrd @pleasedontatme I don't think he is left, though in aggregate his housing policies align to the left. He is laregly contrarian.

@plebcapital Mark wants to add some more oil to the fire, if Mark is right and maximising the size of the fire is best for him, why should the government not make oil tax deductible?

If you describe a new apartment as a cardboard dogbox in the middle of a housing crisis, it is reasonable to assume you are a grub

[Allan L @UndecidedStilll]

@pwafork @MessengerAndrew @peter_tulip No James. These arbitrary government planning restrictions change over time, literally since the 19th century in Australia. Next you'll be arguing sky news has property rights over new news creators.

[Allan L @UndecidedStilll]

@pwafork @peter_tulip Why are the desires of property owners like yourself more important than those who want to provide more housing? Why do you have rights over another person's property

[Allan L @UndecidedStilll]

@MarkDiStef Provide additional tax concessions to property, prices increase, why would Mark advocate this?
