Resuting in todays problems for which Labour is reluctant to introduce any real solutions.

Landscaped complete properties for those who can afford them add to stock and leave older cheaper homes for first home buyers. That's an important part of 'the market sorting it out'. If the market can't - the govt. won't be able to either.

That would be great if it was true, but older homes are not cheaper homes.
Older homes are mostly on larger sections where developers wanting larger sections to build several dwellings, compete with home buyers.
Newer homes or developments are often on smaller sections & land is the major cost component.
Land banking by speculators & also zoning tightly control & restrict the amount of available land, driving up prices of available land & older houses on larger sections.
The Free Market will not sort out Land Banking or free up Urban Boundaries.
That will need govt intervention.

That will need govt in an
tervention.
The point I was making is that each new built home has a 'hand me down' effect.

Speculators know that Govt intervention & Bureaucracy usually means a payday
especially with a Labour Govt prepared to empty bucketfuls at any issue ..
Has the current Govt not woken up to that ? Just ease up the factors on the pressure
points without crucifying innocent parties & end users / occupiers ,, not difficult is it
without all their weird & wonderful Socialist dreaming that only results in supply,
demand & pricing bubbles .. Council bureaucracy, levies, red tape, hold ups
etc are yet another can of smothering r worms, with nothing much happening fast IMO
To a degree Govt have created the issue, postured and dug the hole deeper by far with
their off target shooting from the hip. It can be very easily fixed with the right mindsets
and that is apparently not what currently resides in Govt benches

Simple - copy Singapore’s HDB model.
Kick out all of the current Kainga Ora executives and get rid of Ardern & her equally useless and clueless ministers.

Stupid people do stupid things.
Dumb as dumb does.
That is the modus operandi of the Ardern government.
