When business ordered 100,000 new ‘worker’ resident families to live in NZ, nobody remembered that neoliberalism had sold off all the steel and wood manufacturers needed to build the houses.
Should be a wrecking ball as they are most interested in giving away land and millions of taxpayer money in infrastructure payments to private developers and demolishing houses than renovating and building more!
NZ being held to ransom by large developers not building houses quickly and cheaply, focused on more profits from cheap land not fit for purpose that requires massive pollution to remediate it such as building up flood lands in the middle of nowhere, and shaking out the taxpayers and ratepayers for money for their white elephants. Putting the risks onto future ratepayers when it all goes wrong after being signed off.
