Don't be so smug and greedy, Lindsay, you wealth creation is at the expense of others, it seems.<br />Is it only okay for you to own a home.

Most Kiwis are "New Zealand Europeans" but Europeans are foreigners.<br /><br />"And if I can't sell my property to the highest bidder, regardless of their skin colour or country of birth, that amounts to a confiscation of wealth." Yes, it does. However, perhaps others will end up paying a price in order for you to get the highest possible return. <br /><br />On one hand, I am happy because I can sell my flat for way more than I paid for it (even in inflation-adjusted $), but at the same time I wonder how a young Kiwi couple can afford to buy their first home. Is it right for me to enrich myself at the expense of the future generation of NZer's?Odakyu-senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462958097068123502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-67439815075515360202013-07-28T16:50:52.966+12:002013-07-28T16:50:52.966+12:00This comment has been removed by the author.Odakyu-senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462958097068123502noreply@blogger.com
