    And before that use a carrot to incentivise developers to make the majority of their income on the supply side so this stick wouldn’t have them yelling like the times before.

      That’s privatising the housing system, which will raise prices, though. The only way out of the mess we’re in, is building adequate supply of public housing, to compete and push down the prices of the private property market. To achieve affordable stock.

        I can see how that is basically privatising of the public housing system, otherwise it’s just a handout from what I can tell. I mean in the mainstream media the people who are listening are already hearing “This is terrible, this won’t affect me now I’ve had enough, but I feel for the other that need this “investing” crutch”. Now imagine how much sway they would have if it did affect them. Instead of boiling the frog slowly, it’s turning down the heat slowly.
