Blackhawk posted:I thought the thread might be interested in hearing about a property instrument that as far as I'm aware is unique to New Zealand, one so twisted that the New Zealand law commission has recommended that the whole mechanism be abolished. I see why this isn't working in practice but it also sounds a lot like a communal property arrangement and apparently people can't handle that? It sounds like in this type of situation you need to form a community and work collectively with your neighbors to solve shared problems but that's not acceptable.

that reminds me, I was walking around a pretty gentrified neighborhood yesterday, and I passed by a house that had a full-color, 9' tall painting of a boston terrier's head on the living room wall, and I think it was wearing sunglasses but I'm not sure

When housing is an investment and the most valuable asset most people will ever own, and subject to powerful temptations to use it to earn "passive income", they absolutely cannot handle it.

If that's the case then my bet is on somebody making explosives, that was a big old bang. Edit: drat doing a bit of reading that area has had several house explosions over the years, so I'm going to change my answer to 'capitalism' or more specifically 'petrochemical mining and transport' Blackhawk has issued a correction as of 03:29 on Aug 15, 2023 |

Related but separate from the shoebox shacks built decades ago, it's insane that you can go to any prefab home website where you can buy some 1,000 sq ft house where all components come preassembled from a factory and you basically build it like legos after pouring a slab and think "aw gee these look nice, and they're small, maybe I can afford it!" and then you see "floor plans starting at $400,000, only available in California"

There's no cheap option anymore.
