Namely, inward migration targets (NZ has one of the highest levels in the world) and land supply restrictions. Reddell points out:<br /><br />"From 1991 to 2013, non-New Zealand citizen immigration accounted for around 71 per cent of the change in the number of households (or dwellings required). For the last two intercensal periods the contributions of non-New Zealand citizen net immigration were as follows:<br /><br />2001 to 2006 70 per cent<br />2006 to 2013 106 per cent"<br /><br />In the short term the government current annual target of 45,000 to 50,000 permanent residence approvals to around 15-20,000. That would take the heat out of the market and allow supply to slowly catch up.<br /><br />http://www.interest.co.nz/property/77028/michael-reddell-argues-sky-high-house-prices-plummeting-affordability-are-whatJoshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-71779090094817597552016-05-18T10:39:32.040+12:002016-05-18T10:39:32.040+12:00I believe these churches that cater for the people...I believe these churches that cater for the people of the Pacific Islands bleed their parishioners dry then send them to other churches, Salvation Army and Govt agencies to get their own needs met. This has to stop. Will the MSM investigate this? NO. Why Not? Because as you say, it doesn't suit their agenda.Our MSM is only interested in issues where the blame can be put firmly at the feet of our Prime Minister.Colthemannoreply@blogger.com
