A PROPER FIX: SOLVING THE HOUSING CRISIS

Auckland is in a housing crisis. If we can’t find a path to solving it, we face a future of soaring prices, sliding supply, rising unaffordability, people living in cars, in garages and on the street. Many of our young people tell us they’ve already given up hope of ever owning a home.

Auckland isn’t alone. Cities the world over are confronting the same set of seemingly intractable challenges. Like Auckland, they are struggling to find a big fix to a big problem.

I’m convinced there’s a method available to tackle the’ fix’ we’re in. Collective Impact is a method that recognises that no single idea, organisation, or person is going to produce a silver bullet solution. Further detail can be found at my website www.thehomepage.nz. Solving the housing crisis demands real leadership and coordinated collective effort with a long-term focus and a commitment to deliver measurable results.

Around the world, we have to solve the supply dilemma. We need a lot more houses. We need a lot less political profiling, empty talk fests and meaningless pledges.
