I started my business 25 years ago with a phone and pc .Not hard .

I agree. I started a company in April with a house deposit. Already 4x the business worth.

Revenue went 2x December alone

Agreed. I can remember when nobody wanted to buy or live in Ponsonby.Mt. Roskill and surrounding areas will be the next HerneBay and Ponsonby

Someone has to find a way to “urban renew”” Mt Roskill
There’s a lot of grotty substandard old houses in Three Kings Mt Roskill
I would have thought the now stopped light rail on Dominion Rd would have a planning change allowing new apartment buildings to replace all the dumps on Dominion Rd

Mine was no capital.
Just experience and attitude

The light rail would have definitely brought regeneration. Ironically prices along the rail corridor would have shot up

Hahhahahaba. Fuck me. Anything for a chance to ride the gravy train huh.

Remove. Property. Speculation. It’s fucking ridiculously easy. Just Kiwis aren’t brave or smart enough.

And who would you have replace private landlords? The government department whose debt is so large it will never be able to pay it off?
That’s right, you suggested that NZ should invest in production like South Korea and other S-EA economies. Yet, nine of the twenty countries with the worst housing affordability in the world, including South Korea, are from S-EA.

Brilliant idea of yours.…..try and fix housing affordability by following the examples of some of the worst countries in the world.

Please, try again.

Says the high flying business guru who complained during covid lockdowns he couldn't pay his staff wages as he wasn't able to access his office.
Never heard of a laptop or smartphone.
I'll back myself thanks

We had a bunny rabbit that was dependant on us, so I was exempt and went to the workplace whenever I wanted

Built a new pergola and repainted the whole interior… and made sure the wages were paid

What relation was the bunny rabbit to you?

Animals were a legit exemption! You wanted bugs to starve to death!

Well, I suppose the SPCA wouldn’t be able to check it out

What’s this high flying stuff?

I haven’t got a boat, batch or BMW?

But I do like to fly!

My god, this is probably what passes for intellectual conversation in New Zealand.

Tell us Miket12 why would a country with a high population density have high property prices? Ohh it must be anti business govt legislation.

Please link South Korea business practices to land prices in Singapore…

My head hurts from the sheer stupidity. Social intelligence grouping is a real thing.

Yeah. Fly off the handle.
Fly by the seat of your pants.
Fly the flag.
Fly in the face of tradition.

If you can’t back up your claim that New Zealand shouldn’t speculate on property but would be better of investing in businesses (supercharging the economy) and not housing, that’s your problem, not mine.

And now you want to talk about Singapore….the country with the 28th worse HAI in the world and that doesn’t take into consideration that the reason Singapore”s housing isn’t more expensive is because the majority is built on government owned leasehold land. This has led to a sharp decline in capital value when sold when close to the end of the lease. Without what amounts to a government subsidy, the HAI figures for Singapore would be much worse.

Brilliant idea…. Let’s make housing more affordable in NZ by ending the building of them and following the examples of countries with far worse housing affordability than us.

BTW, South Korea has got such a bad housing crisis at the moment that their government is planning on building one state house for every 100 citizens.

And I see that you still haven’t answered the question that private investors didn’t own rental properties in NZ, who would provide them?
