It was interesting how much New Zealand could learn from developing country experiences. And it was interesting to me, to learn from developing country diamond princes cruise ship pictures delegates, what they picked up from my presentation.

This slide was typical of many of the presentations. The problem of supply not meeting demand is experienced across many of the incomes demographics. Not confined to social (low) or middle income buyers. 1st time buyers are experiencing major issues diamond princes cruise ship pictures with buying in Malaysia - especially in or around Kuala Lumpur.
In all of the presentations there was explicit recognition of the cost of living for people - and that housing (being diamond princes cruise ship pictures a verb - not just a noun - for commodification) had to be paid for alongside all of the other living expenses. Typically a Malaysian person takes out a loan for both house AND car. A key point made was that the cost of living is growing a greater rate than incomes - adding to the problem of housing affordability.
The Prime Minister is fully aware of the financial pressures faced by the urban, middle-income population due to Malaysia s rapid urbanisation. His vision is to rebalance assistance to the rakyat in both rural as well as urban areas. PR1MA is one of various initiatives implemented to help the rakyat manage costs of living in urban areas. PR1MA will be the first that exclusively targets diamond princes cruise ship pictures this middle segment with homes ranging from RM100,000 to RM400,000 in a sustainable community.

This slide resonates with the New Zealand situation. It looks at the challenges of providing affordable diamond princes cruise ship pictures housing. diamond princes cruise ship pictures But it provides other ways of looking at it - for example how much land is required for infrastructure - when it is used for housing. It also raises the matter of credit-worthiness - the ability of new home owners to actually buy into housing.
This slide reports on the performance of SPNB in building new homes for the low income range. The left pie chart reports on the number of housing units built, while the right pie reports on the cost in Ringaats. The cost of production is around $50,000/unit equivalent in NZ dollars.
And the floor plan.What is interesting about all of this is that I am aware from talking diamond princes cruise ship pictures to a number of housing providers in Auckland is that there is a growing demand - often from women - for houses decribed as "Corollas" - ie well built, go well, last well, but don't cost an arm and a leg. This can be an analogy for low cost. but it can also be an analogy for Asian mass produced industrially manufactured housing. This is exploding in developing countries in Asia. Made me feel that we are behind the 8 ball when it comes to housing supply in New Zealand.
