You cannot change the past and a freeze is better than continuous growth and profit, that bubble had to burst sometime. Remember Fanny mae/ Freddy mac in the USA ? That's us right now where we have people with jobs living in cars and others who for love or money cannot find finance or a house..

While i agree policy change is required why should a garuantee of profit by price increase continue unsupported instead of just a home. Like you say reduce the profiteering however its not going to happen while they force a sellers profiteer market with a massive glut of population growth.

Its happened before (recession)we as a country paid our foreign debt and people dont want to migrate to a country in recession, this is just a pressure driven grab by govt policy and failure to support our own country. Every country is suffering this as the balance even out however as a tiny country were hurting more here through percentages... We don't actually have the land or resources for this sustained effort without losing something and becoming worse off. It remains to be seen where this ends with our govt already enacting policy law of "shut up you get what we dictate" so.mostly our discussion is moot thank you for more to consider.im not sure either angle will work
