oohhboy posted:Squeezing the bottom like that isn't going to help people who actually need a house and live in it. It's all going to the top with cash buyers and investors making all the gains overseas or other wise. We need some serious disincentive for buying houses as an investment by trashing the returns and taking out the goal of raising equity. Breaking the land banks isn't going to help in the long term with land wasteful houses with no transport other than cars attached to it. We also need to sort out proper unmoveable minimums on apartments so they are liveable if we do build more with strong penalties for cutting even the smallest corner. Well yea pretty much but you could do that by modifying existing legislation so that property investors can't claim the interest costs on the huge amounts of debt they're taking on as a tax deductible cost. One of the reasons property is so appealing is that interest-driven loss your company allocates out to you gives you a sweet tax refund year on year while the asset you bought keeps appreciating. But yea, the point about transport is a huge issue too - Places like Hobsonville Point or Stonefields getting consented without rapid transit in place (or at least planned) does my head in.

Five minutes from the motorway that then takes you over an hour to get into the city from with any kind of traffic what-so-ever. But I'm sure it'd be great living there.

My desire to own a house in Auckland has been a god drat joke. First I was naive (I guess) and saved up on Kiwisaver at 8% from Day 1. Then Auckland prices started to get ridiculous so I decided to save a bit more and increase my deposit. Then the prices became so ridiculous that I gave up altogether. After being encouraged to buy I talked to a bank person who said it was completely doable. Looked at options, made a budget and decided I can do this in like October when I leave my rental. ... and now this happens. I will be completely unable to buy a house instead of just being scared of debt, etc. At least there are hourly Bachelor articles I guess...

Here's an actual decent solution to a whole bunch of problems including overcrowding in Auckland - all government call centers and other non ministerial/face to face services should be relocated to provincial areas, and businesses should be incentivised to do the same. Government spending is decreased due to lower rent, employment opportunities are spread more evenly and local economies get a bit of a boost, staff living on cso wages can actually have a decent life, and a little pressure comes off AK.

That would probably be a great plan if it weren't for the fact that massive chunks of non-customer facing services are already outside of Auckland. IRD for example, are largely based in Hamilton and Palmerston North. StudyLink is Palmy and Lower Hutt. WINZ I'm not sure on but I think you largely get connected to local offices, which exist because they are also customer facing. Ministry HQ's are in Wellington obviously. The amount of staff you can feasibly move is much smaller than you think and likely won't make much of a difference.

All of the various mbie departments are in Auckland with a few satellite support centers - that might only be 4-500 people but that's 4-500 people who need servicing so it increases exponentially, as the jobs ceeated for their needs in turn bring more people who need servicing. Govt alone wouldn't be enough, that's correct, and why there needs to be an incentive for private enterprise to follow suit.

Love the way the herald is written? Can't get enough of those great entertainment headlines? Have I got news for you! http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/may/11/new-zealand-one-major-newspaper-group-merger-talks-revealed [b]"New Zealand could be left with just one major newspaper group as merger talks revealed Companies that own New Zealand Herald and Dominion Post could join forces, effectively leaving the country with a press monopoly Two major media companies in New Zealand have announced they are in merger talks, raising the prospect that the entire country could be left with just one newspaper group. NZME, which owns the New Zealand Herald, and Fairfax Media, which owns the Dominion Post, said in a joint statement on Wednesday that the organisations were exploring how they could join forces."[b] I love how one guy flat-put says it's just about making money and pleasing advertisers. E. Also I have no idea how to quote an article or apparently even to make something bold when I post.

How about we -And I'm just shooting from the top of my head here- make it possible for people to afford having children in the first place? Perhaps we could persuade businesses to increase their rate of pay, and cover the extra expense with higher taxes on people with lots of money? 'Nah bro not my fault you're poor hehurhehurhehur'

It's seriously embarrassing that abortion is 'illegal' still. Yeah no political party is gonna touch that giant shitpile but our current regime has some really awful consequences, especially for south islanders/rural locations.
