Re: NZ Politics Thread

What I don't get is that if these people didn't buy the homes, they would be renting them - so it didn't change the equation at all really. The big problem is demand and you could say that the government's actions actually reduced that from what it could have been. I still believe the biggest cause...

It’s hard to think of any President that would have opposed Israeli action from the start.

Biden is hardly unique.
