It desperately needs this. Very inflammatory tweets can get widely circulated by brigading with no real way to stop it even if it's a wildly unpopular sentiment.

I'd prefer a filter for blue checkmarks.

What app stops a pre install keylogger. I'm all for hearing criticism of Signal but it's always about things they can't control.

So what, you think millennials own huge tracks of empty land? You're not a serious person.

Yes, ignorant means you don't know things. Being educated is a HUGE indicator of that. There's exceptions but you're kidding yourself if you think it's the norm.

All you got is ad hominem attacks and its pathetic. I'm talking about a public live stream where a lot of people would see it and potentially catch predators.

Let me counter with my own ad hominem attack. You sound like a square that doesn't go clubbing. Social people want to club where the most action is at. Not intellectually masturbate online about privacy absolution.

You act like there'd be a camera covering every square inch. A few cameras looking at the bar and dance floor would be enough. You do realize clubs and festivals broadcast live all the time right. Whoops no, no I guess you wouldn't.

I'm not going off on weird tangents. The person I responded to encouraged me to "go on" regarding the detrimental effect Boomers and Gen X have had on later generations.

And no this is demonstrably not due to some "generational wealth". It's because of reactionary housing policies that boomers enacted to benefit themselves. From redlining, to Realtor steering, to draconian eviction laws, to tax breaks, to white flight, etc etc.

You don't even necessarily see this extreme hoarding in other western countries like Japan where homes can actually be free in some circumstances.

I'm referring to both. 80% of rentals are owned by mom and pop landlords. They're a much bigger problem than corporate landlords.

Government wants to 'flood the market' to make houses more affordable - how will that work?

Housing Minister Chris Bishop has told real estate agents that the government wants to "flood the market" with opportunities for housing development.

It has agreed to a range of changes that would free up land for housing, and, the government hopes, make housing more affordable.

My rough summary of proposal:

  • Most cities will be required to have zoned enough land for 30 years of housing demand all the time
  • These cities won't be allowed to determine urban/rural boundaries
  • Must intensify, especially around major public transport routes. If they decide not to for character reasons, then equivalent capacity must be opened up in another area
  • cafes, dairies, etc (mixed use) must be allowed in residential areas
  • appartments not allowed to have minimum floor area or requirement for balcony set by council
  • councils already intensifying under a previous agreement (MDRS) will keep this, but if they change it then they have to move to using new rules

Let me know if I've got something wrong!

Public: So do something about it.
