"@DrCameronMurray @MikeFellman I don't know anybody who says this. I do know that developers maximise profits not prices. And supplying into a market where prices are falling can be profit-maximising for some developers. We see this happen all the time"

"legitimately impressed by the quality of the building + housing stock in Christchurch. And with a median price of NZD $694k (AUD $610k) Christchurch has the most *affordable housing* of any major city in New Zealand and Australia. Better things are possible"
