Labour govt 2020-23

Can you explain what aspects of the international situation have created a housing problem here? I am sure there are some, but it is a complex sector.

All the Returnees I guess - but who's policies & spins encouraged that

Would Labour be dumb enough to blame them (like they did Landlords) ?

The returnees must be being housed somewhere or have bought - as there don't appear to
to be many or any of these ones who are camped out in front of the beehive

Obviously no-one was bright enough in the Govt ranks to extrapolate that for all
the building activity - there wouldn't be enough materials at hand or in this part of
the world to complete but a fraction of them

Healthy water reform.. simple, easy and improved. who could argue against that
This ongoing meme is a drag on the govt.

Low interest rates
Low restrictions on foreign investment.
Cashed up kiwi expats returning for a bit (sometimes bringing their more generous super schemes with them).

Anything but the real underlying reasons

Why blame the consultant when Mahuta should be the real target for this nonsense ?

Been like that for hundreds of years through multiple Labour terms - why is this an excuse now ?

How long before Jacinda panics at the putrid plunging poll numbers and confluence of cascading catastrophes?

Protesters on the doorstep, inflation on the rise, housing a debacle, COVID fatigue stalking the land - and Grant is looking like the cat who got the cream for some reason.

Anything but the real underlying reasons

There's no real reason a company or individual person should have 10 houses while others have none.
