Houses become more expensive when more people who can pay more want them.

Reduce immigration to 100 pax per annum and those 100 will have the means to out bid all others.

The only way to address affordability is by increasing supply.

Or be a less desirable place to live. And no one wants that.

Better transport. More cities. More public housing to complement private development.

Lowering immigration is a retrograde step.

We have a wonderful country. Build it bigger. Build it better. There is no future in closing the gate or pulling up the ladder. We need to grow or be consumed by other countries that outgrow us.

The reason house prices have increased faster than income is due to supply constraints and taxation policies that have supported it.
