New Zealand’s housing debate is often framed as a contest between affordability and community. But the real story is more complicated. In this episode, Executive Director Tim Wilson is joined by Researcher Thomas Scrimgeour to unpack an apparent policy “U-turn” on housing intensification.
They examine the rumoured changes and what they could mean for the future of housing. Along the way, the conversation explores why land prices matter, why homeowners and renters experience the debate differently, and how we might pursue more homes without losing what makes a place feel like home.
