  • I think you put it quite well, and did so in a respectful way.

    The way I put it is to the effect of who’s “rights” are more important - the one who identified as a girl, or the entire team who is?

    I’ve been hauled over the coals in here and reddit because I believe we need to take a step back and consider if we allow it, and when we do (because we should) how can we do so in a fair way? We had this issue back with the LGBTQ rights, and before then with racial integration, and women integration, and looking back they were and should have always been clear cut “yes”. The issue with this one is that its not just the individual freedom to play, but what advantages would they have above the other players and their freedom to play in a fair competition? Does what I feel and think I am, and the right to do so, overrule what you are?





  • You’re right this won’t help - all it will do is push up the average house price by 25k. Freezing prices won’t do anything except drive shortage and lower quality property. Everything you mentioned will work once until people realize they can take advantage of it. We’ve seen it before - price freezes don’t help.

    It is well known what we need to do.

    • make property a bad investment. Heavily tax vacant properties and ownership of multiple, improve renters rights, increase interest rates for investment purchases. The goal is to drive down Qd quickly, reducing the value of other owned properties.

    • significantly drive up quality housing stock - Increase of Qs. Tax breaks for new builds, government rent to own, density and infrastructure increases. No tax on new builds owned for 10 years. Longer plan that solves long term.
