Did you read the statement you're replying to? The problem is not lack of land, but the way the land is utilised. This isn't unique to New Zealand either, Canada has done the same, rewarding established people who lived there for a long time and punishing newcomers, young, or otherwise not so well established.

Yes, I did read the comment I replied to. I asked how supply would be increased, because I want to know how he would do that. Hence, why I asked him what he would propose.

You didn't answer the question either, simply restating dissatisfaction with how people live. So, what would _you_ do to increase supply instead of decreasing demand?
