Its actually really great name suppression has lifted for him I think, if it weren't for this quarterly reminder of how much he has ruined his life and made things harder for his family already I would have had to hire people to make sure it was happening or something

I saw it more about how godawful and soft the data was. The problem is nobody is willing or has the data about anything that can help the housing crisis. The government refuses to acknowledge the housing problem exists and its hard to do datamining without being accused of racism. Even if someone did do it in a scientific fashion they would be called the racist regardless of how the data turned out. Prices keep exploding and more and more people become unhappy.

in the UK (where i live now) we have: 1) a comprehensive capital gains tax at 28% on all land sales, other than the house you live in; 2) a transfer tax on buying property, which tops out at 15% for properties worth £500k or more; and 3) ATED, an annual tax on companies that own residential property, which is roughly 0.7% of the property's value each year and land prices are still absolutely insane in london. we're all hosed.

Is it similar an offence to sneaking into your old primary school in the middle of the night for no sober reason? Cause for that you get told off and warned by the cops for looking like burglars, not rushed off to court. I'm told by a friend. I CHARGE YOU WITH *THUNDER* BEING ON A BUILDING!! verdict GUILTY!!!! Laws are strange.

Not to mention a city council in Auckland with a majority of wankers who refused to allow the high density part of the unitary plan. They say it's because they're afraid of people having to live in shoe boxes, when really they don't want the harbour view built out in their quarter acre Herne Bay property.

The high cost of houses isn't a problem. It's a feature. That's why the closest central gets to "fixing" the "problem" is mandating regional to release more land than it has budgeted without also committing to meeting the resulting inflation of infrastructure. It drives up rates and drives have-littles off the more long-term profitable slices in the middle out into the edges which the have-lots can then safeguard until the government inevitably heavily subsidises the kind of intensive development that the market says should have started a decade ago. Or, you know, the body of 121 people making the decisions about housing who collectively own almost 300 properties doesn't actually understand how owning 0 property is a problem.

Or, y'know, taxing the gently caress out of that poo poo. Why don't we have a brutal capital gains tax yet? Oh right because we'll lose our tax haven status if there's no easy and cheap way to stash millions of dollars long-term here.

Brain In A Jar posted:What exactly does "being on a building" entail? Well, its distinct from trespassing. In Dunedin, on moray place which rings around the octagon, there is a building with a done on the corner. We used to sneak up there up a fire escape and across some roofs to smoke a sneaky J and it was neat. One night though, we were really drunk and loud, and someone called the cops, and we were arrested for "being on a building".

Capital gains alone will not fix the problem of housing prices, it will just make the price increases graph in a sawtooth pattern rather than a smooth curve.

You need to be told to leave/stay away for it to be trespass, it's not B&E, and burglary/unlawful entry don't apply if you don't actually enter a structure? Seems like one of those things where "it ought to be a crime" but wasn't, so they added a new clause to the Crimes Act.

My understanding is that the criminalisation of being on a building was really just a way to further disenfranchise the Spider Men, Women and, indeed, People amongst us

The Green Party supports Greenpeace and Russel Norman now works for them, therefore they are the same thing. please ignore how this logic also applies to National and their crony capitalism.

Capital gains taxes are fine, but capital gains taxes combined with gently caress all supply and incredibly low interest rates will mean prices just increase to preserve the current margins and the expectation will be that the buyer just borrows extra to foot the bill. I mean 'lock in' has been pretty heavily done to death with CGT and the prevailing thoughts seem to be it isn't a thing, but that's not something that's been tested in a market where there's a huge shortage, gently caress-all capacity for land/densification and a central bank that can't figure out how low interest rates and increasing house prices are related.

There is the low hanging fruit that mostly right wingers push, or point at the US and their racism, but to have these things seep in is not a good show. I am a little disappointed with myself and this is a good thing. Thanks Andrew for putting it out there and doing it so well. Butt Wizard posted:P much.
