Yes, as long as it does not interfere with the housing market, and is not costly for taxpayers.
@B4VFVGK3wks3W
Yes but only if they buy existing homes from home owners who live in homes that are too large. Older home owners can then sell but be incentivized to build smaller homes on smaller allotments. Funding for more aged care villages rather than high rise accommodation that can cause social issues, clustering of lower/no income people and neighbourhood changes to values.
@B4SY5TK3wks3W
Reform zoning laws, reduce red tape to increase supply, ban foreign investors from purchasing real estate
@B4KZYZR1mo1MO
Yes, in areas marked for development and population growth (regional / rural) and where there are sufficient employment opportunities
@B4B8W642mos2MO
Yes, but affordable housing needs to actually be affordable. 10-20% less than market rent is not enough to help the housing crisis.
@B3GQLSG2mos2MO
The government should build more public housing, that is high density and affordable. it will create jobs and slow the rising of housing prices
@B3G9BMS3mos3MO
Yes, but introduce a bar of quality that developers must reach. So that new housing is also livable and well made housing that will last for decades
@B4BQ9TL1mo1MO
Yes, but ensure the developers are making housing that whoever lives in it can keep cost low. for example, no drafts, solar, heavily insulated and control venting for the climates they are made it.
