Open the URL, I self-hosted a zip file with 9 photos so you don't have to visit a website that's filled with ads.

I wrote in 20 locations around riccarton and ilam. Most of my chalk was on riccarton road or perhaps 50 metres into a side street.

The issue is that a LOT of people have their retirement based off of this system. They've worked their whole lives to achieve what they've seen as a fantastic, almost fundamental, way of providing for yourself in retirement. I don't want to hurt these people, even if they make up a sizable portion of the landlords. They are not the problem.

I'm trying to target the people that own 3+ houses, and if you can eliminate the money-making aspect of homeownership, you fix a big problem causing the housing crisis right now.

If we had UBI they wouldn't need the retirement income.

NZ superannuation is a basic income for all above age 65.
