Here's my proposal on affordable housing. Switch to land value based rates. Move away from tax settings that penalise development and reward landbanking. More homes being built, more housing supply, more affordable rents and better quality homes.

~$2.5bn for 650 meters. $166,000 per house east of the tunnel.
For the same price you could build five separate dual direction bike lanes from Wellington to Auckland - not that I'm advocating for that either...

Absolutely. I'm going to put out a full policy on bike lanes (and public transport) in a few weeks.
