So with this bill, NZ has: - no more single family zoning - no more parking requirements - no more min. lot sizes - 3 stories everywhere - 6 stories near major transit & job centres This is one of the most significant housing bills passed anywhere in the English speaking world

So with this bill, NZ has:

  • no more single family zoning
  • no more parking requirements
  • no more min. lot sizes
  • 3 stories everywhere
  • 6 stories near major transit & job centres

Honestly some pretty great stuff from some usually extremely mediocre democratic socialists. Should be exciting watching NZ's cities get substantially better. It's nice to see that good things can happen sometimes.

    Imagine having a not purely demonic government, must be nice

      To be honest I think this is a large part of the appeal of anarchism in the Anglosphere. For the average American or Brit it is almost impossible to imagine a government that does anything good, hence all governments must be bad.

        I mean I literally can’t imagine it because it’s so alien to my lived experience.

          Gotta start framing it as not a government, but a revolutionary dictatorship who's sole purpose is to absolutely crush and eradicate all traces of the old government (what it actually is)
