I was just thinking that if I hadn't already hit my high user mark for the year I probably would have waited till the fee was gone.

It's better when you play the actual rules without free parking and poo poo, because it at least doesn't drag on forever like Risk but in rural NZ or loving World of Warcraft or w/e E: it's still not good, but at least it's less bad

I don't know that anyone plays that but it's right there in the rules.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/493035/green-party-s-pledge-to-renters-what-you-need-to-know i've always thought it'd be politically smarter to give councils the ability to set rent controls

We're talking the same councils who are actively fighting intensification and using roads as a sewer because they don't want to upset the landowners?

I always feel a little sad when the Greens release policy. They regularly provide proof of concept that New Zealand could be better, whilst Labour and National will end up deciding the specifics on how it will get worse.

The framing on this article is so cooked: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/493067/greens-rent-control-plan-may-mean-fewer-landlords-less-maintenance-economistquote:"The risk with rent controls is that it disincentivises people from becoming landlords" Oh no!!!! quote:"They'll do the absolute bare minimum because changes in the market can't be reflected in price." lol, lmao crishop posted:"It will mean fewer landlords, more expensive rentals and a more dysfunctional private rental market. It won't work and they should throw it in the bin." fewer landlords = bad apparently. quote:ACT's housing spokesperson Brooke van Velden accused the Greens of singling groups out and 'othering' them for political gain. I thought ACT didn't like identity politics It's not until you get like 4/5 of the way through the article that you see: quote:"When you look globally, this is bringing us into line with other countries in the OECD. This is not new, this is not radical.

I've seen these claims made over and over and over and I've only seen things get worse every time investors get their way, so I'm ready to say gently caress it, let's see what happens. I doubt I'm the only one who feels this way either.

"They'll do the absolute bare minimum because changes in the market can't be reflected in price." lmao, good thing that the minimum will be having a healthy and warm home fit for habitation then

Lol, landlords are not exactly known for going the extra mile. Doing the absolute bare minimum is what being a landlord is all about.

quote:Brianna Kerridge says she and her husband will likely sell one of their four properties if Labour wins in October – but if National regains power, then they’re all set to buy a fifth. Are you loving kidding me, are these parasites supposed to be sympathetic? Good, I hope they have to sell all their properties. I don't understand how people see national policy like the above quoted and go "oh yes these fuckin neolibs are on my side".

How does no cause evictions help anyone except landlords to kick people out and jack prices up. Can't wait for these assholes to be back in power, good poo poo.

I think my mother in law has the only good landlord I've heard of. Rent hasn't gone up in five years, and she hasn't heard from him in three years. Maybe he's died or something, who knows?

Double posting, but I was a landlord for a whole year once, it bloody sucked and it makes me even more suspicious of anyone who wants to do it for a living. Like, it felt like a personal failure on my part that the hot water cylinder broke and it took me a day to get a new one in so their kid had to have a shower at grandma's.

I can see how your problem (giving a poo poo) and the solution (just don't) will automatically select for the biggest pieces of poo poo to be the most successful landlords

Oh, it was great. Originally I was going to run it via a rental agency, harcourts I think, because it was only for a year and I couldn't be assed to actually manage it myself. The people in those agencies, now there's some loving psychopaths. The profiling that went on there would make a phrenologist proud, made my goddamn skin crawl
