We've tried the NZ way or ingenuity for how many decades? Let's not kid ourselves that past successive gov'ts have failed. They're simply not interested in fixing our housing problem as we've only seen lots of talk but no substance. Listening to Megan Woods in past talk radio conversations prove that you can't get a straight answer. Nothing but excuses. So what recourse do we have??? We SHOULD consider how OTHER countries have addressed such problems. We should NOT be so ignorant in "this is NZ and that's how we do things".

BTW my last post is specifically different and never mentioned before. We have a high cost structure for infrastructure development (don't blame the lack of houses on vast farmland), the developers know to bring affordable sections to market is impossible because they're footing the bill for everything.
