A laughable band-aid solution from a government bereft ofambition and ideas. The demand for housing won't be addressed by the statebuilding an insufficient amount of houses and then flogging them off to theprivate sector. This policy will be a drop in the ocean without anaccompanying meaningful reduction in the demand for housing. All it willachieve is to further exacerbate inequality by allowing the state-builtproperty to accumulate in the hands of the parasites who already own multiple properties.

National,lauding itself as the Business Party, has come up with a purported solution tothe housing crisis that will simply end up in privatising the profit fromhousing whilst socialising the cost. If you doubt this, ask yourself whatclasses of people benefitted most from asset sales during their last term?

This is a policy designed to fool renters into believing that National cares about thehousing crisis whilst simultaneously maintaining the support of this countriesparasitic class of multiple home owners.h-says
