Throw them all into the gutters where they belong - end all government schools, government hospitals, government welfare, government super - and the housing crisis goes away overnight. <br /><br />The problem is not housing - it is, always, bludgers.

But this has been 25 years or more in the making, with out any loss of confidence still that we need to be planned for and zoned. <br />I am living in a city of over four million people, apartment complex 85sq meters, rent $NZ5500 a year, [120,000 baht] plus some extras. I think the capital value would be about $NZ140,000. Return 4%. Doesn't make sense to me. Its not the best area, and far from the worst. Security guards 24 hours, good swimming pool. Girl extra. <br /> I also don't understand why a pollster would turn out trash figures, secret, and unknown, and still expect anyone to take it seriously.paul scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675247055484136242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-10273814976224417612016-08-23T19:21:54.240+12:002016-08-23T19:21:54.240+12:00I'm just about over the idea that the politici...I'm just about over the idea that the politicians cause the problems. They don't. They get their power from those who support them, so it is those who support them who create the problems. The root problem is the ignorance of all the people who don't take their lives into their own hands, but continually vote for someone else to run it for them.Richard Wiighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014802233741921087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-75611596895420225952016-08-23T15:34:37.425+12:002016-08-23T15:34:37.425+12:00This UMR poll suggesting 60% would like houses to ...This UMR poll suggesting 60% would like houses to drop unlikely - too many people in the poll (if representative) would seem to be wanting to have their biggest asset drop in value. Turkeys don't vote for early Christmas.<br /><br />So I have tried to find the details of this poll - particularly to see how the selection is performed. "Online Omnibus" has a smell of "self selecting" about it.<br /><br />But the details don't appear on the UMR site nor anywhere else. Until I see this I'm calling it BS. <br /><br />UMR are Labour's pollster and Hickey has an axe to grind.<br />Johnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462464283423035614noreply@blogger.com
