Good housing is getting some recognition.
Our local context isn’t the same as major urban centres. We’ve got a few more earthquakes. A community unaccustomed to apartment living. A relatively small population. A rebuilt-and-rebuilding central city. And really expensive construction costs.
That is, if you want to live in a house you would want your grandchildren to live in, rather than something you home someone else will want to live in. And pay more than you did for it.
What does ethical, grounded, alternative property development look like outside of a major urban city? I suspect it’ll be the same, but different. Most likely more of the key ingredients.
Collaboration.
Transparency.
Values-led.
Holistic.
