The only proper fix is building more where people want. Anything else is a sugar hit that normally gets decried as being exactly that

I disagree. There are many “tweaks” that need to occur. Tax incentives need to be hitched to providing affordable rentals in line with the cpi and rents need to never go above the cpi as housing is a need, a right and security. You are oversimplifying and disregarding an awful lot. It’s disingenuous

Yes the entire thing needs to be overhauled. We have to get people out of massive portfolios, that’s the starting point for fixing the rental scheme. But caps aren’t anything but a short term solution for the renters already in houses, as proof look at everywhere they exist

You’re a bloody broken record harping on supporting the status quo without a single solution offered. Stop talking to me 51monbl1 whoever you are. I am NOT impressed. 😡

And you’re doing something else? It’s build more housing. That’s what I’ve been saying and that’s the only long term answer. By the way you can look all this up. Restricting rental markets reduces new housing and makes non controlled renting more expensive. But the greens say here’s some $$$

Stop landlords hoarding. Cap rents. Build more. Tie tax breaks to looking after long term tenants not to amplifying profits by means of harming people as we have now. No! Building is NOT the only solution -without these other tweaks it leans into the corrupt and broken system we have. #HousingForAll

It’s supply vs demand, building more - and more infill, even if you think that’s “gentrification” - is the biggest thing that helps now and as the pop grows

100% Robyn. These measures are needed. One year empty is too long.
