That's definitely my plan. I'm in Remutaka electorate, which Hipkins is all but guaranteed to win.

Extremely difficult group of people to find any sympathy for whatsoever.
Yeah, it sounds like they will just refuse to sell for less than what they think the house is worth, and would rather have all their equity slowly chewed up by compound interest.
The kids can go fuck themselves.
I suspect this will end badly for them, and I hope it does.
They're refusing to sell their house over 60k in equity, thinking the "current downturn" will turn around. No, we've just come out of a bubble, this is what house prices should be.
As for your oil stocks, I hope the bottom falls out of those.
Yeah, TOP really have this figured out. I'm planning to vote for either them or Labour.
The Green party just have too much baggage to be taken seriously.
Eh, it seems to have lit a fire under most of the parents.
Exactly. It gave me a chuckle.
Don't forget writing multiple books about being kind. (don't ask about child poverty or the housing crisis please for the love of God)
The house price thing really depends how old you are. It's only when you're looking at downsizing that it helps you, otherwise it's either more expensive to upgrade, or purely theoretical wealth that doesn't help you.
Ultimately, we need to look at buying a house as locking in your cost of living, rather than an investment that only ever goes up.
It's really quite impressive how Labour continue to do the absolute bare minimum to be a functional party. We're finally getting a capital gains tax, at least a decade late, and that's the boldest policy they have.
Meanwhile, their coalition partners are downright liabilities.
Visually, it's pretty cool, although I haven't looked at it on desktop yet. Functionality, it's terrible at conveying information.
The Hutt Valley does this, they have a land and improvement value. I'm not sure what the split is though.
