Have market forces failed the NZ housing market? We take a look at our housing crisis and how other countries have found answers. What's stopping us from using those same offshore solutions?

Most people acknowledge New Zealand has a housing crisis, but what are the causes and solutions?

This first episode of House Talk unpacks the complex issues of land supply, intergenerational housing, papakainga, state housing, and government funding of affordable housing.

A recurring theme is the success other countries have had in sorting out their housing—so why can’t we do the same?
