Yes, I agree. But New Zealand is not Europe. And what exists elsewhere cannot be transported to New Zealand And I want the same as you do. But New Zealand has had a neoliberal governments since the 1980s and the housing system we have now is a result of that. How it can be rectified will take years and we will have to have governments that want to do that. In my view neither Labour nor National, despite us having an MMP system, have the will to do it. I would like a Government of all parties with no party having control. I intend to vote for Raj Manji in Ilam and the Greens for my party vote. I can only live in hope.

We can take the best of design & make it work here. We have to. We need a transformational govt to do so & that’s why we need the Greens to have as many MPs as possible, and a way to tax those who have the most in our country. We thought Labour would be transformational with its majority but it wasn’t. We have hyper aging communities & we need to house our young & give them hope. I believe that we can take the best of the world & recreate it here. Food resilient communities with co housing & more govt housing.
