New post from me about Supermarket YIMBYism. The important but forgotten recommendation of the Commerce Commission. It’s time for a NPS-SD – National Policy Statement on Supermarket Development. 🧵

Great convo b/t @JerusalemDemsas & @_westerlywinds
on arc of New Zealand land-use reform.
tl,dr: Nationwide upzoning of transit corridors proved durable, but 3-story triplexes in SFH areas triggered backlash -- led by libertarian party (?!).

New Zealand took on its housing crisis at the federal level, challenging the idea that “housing politics is local.” For "Good on Paper," @JerusalemDemsas speaks with the housing-policy expert Eleanor West about what New Zealand and America have in common. theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc…

Another great episode this week from @JerusalemDemsas on Good on Paper, learning from New Zealand's response to housing crisis.
This is one of the best podcasts around IMO - only been going 6 months, but consistently great interviews on important, interesting topics

Great podcast from @JerusalemDemsas and Eleanor West talking about the New Zealand housing reforms. Interesting to hear more about the climate action group getting younger people on board with upzoning for a compact city.

It was very fun to talk to @JerusalemDemsas about the housing crisis, land-use regulations, and my strong feelings re: work-place secret santa 👇👇

Honoured to be a guest on @UCLALewisCenter Housing Voice podcast - listen to me chat about my research on the New Zealand upzoning experience with @ShaneDPhillips and @MichaelManvill6, NZ accent and all! (I was only a little bit mean about Christchurch)

Wellington’s rapid rollout cycle network is shaping up as part of #BICI! It truly does take a village to raise a cycle network!
Congrats & keep up the great work @WgtnCC & all involved! Thanks to @BloombergDotOrg & @GlobalStreets

Government cancels Affordable Water Reforms and dismisses recommendations from Future of Local Government review.
Rates go up.
Government blames road cones.

NEW POST:
I'm starting a new series analysing some of the hot topics in the Australian housing discourse. In the first installment, I take a close look at the data and economics behind vacant houses in the Australian housing market.

Christchurch's IHP has released their recommendation report to the council for PC14 to update the district plan according to NPS-UD and MDRS. From our quick read over the 500 odd pages there are both positives and negatives for those who want more houses to be allowed in our city

What is wrong with these independent hearings panels? They were set up as govt was worried councils would be too anti-housing. Yet in Welly, Tauranga and now Christchurch the IHP has been more anti-housing than the council.
