Apparently you're not only not a CV expert, you're very far from an AI expert too. Detection tools have a high false positive rate, you're throwing away (potentially) good candidates for bad reasons.

@purplepingers
If you mean the idea that more houses, even if expensive, alleviates housing costs even in less expensive housing then that’s unfortunate, as the evidence is pretty solid.
Research in Finland used individual data to analyse "moving chains" and found that more private ("market rate") housing in high-income suburbs quickly alleviated pressure in middle- to low-income suburbs.
So, yeah -- I tend to agree with Matt.

Absolutely agree that a land tax would help, but loosening up zoning to allow the policy to stimulate more productive use (i.e. to build more housing) needs to be done as well.

Some banks seem to do this for you these days, but agreed it would make sense to have it standardised (and consistent).
Can we also get them to list the *transaction* date as well as the *processed date*? The former is much more useful for figuring out WTH a transaction is.

Neither of them are measures of wealth. If the wealth was equal, I'd rather be the $200k, but if the $60k had $1M in assets (like a typical big city house) and the $200k had nothing, I'd probably rather be the $60k.
Discussing "rich" in terms of annual income is misguided.

Just received my rates notice. To the boomers that seem to think that the youth of today are just lazy but are very disturbed about high council rates: 35 years of my rates are still less than a single year of my mortgage. The rates are fine, house prices are not.

I hate this so much. I like apartments and hate cars. Why push housing to the worst places?
Victoria's planning system currently pushes most apartments onto our main roads away from the more desired and quieter side streets.

The "government should build more public housing" people are not wrong, but should be aware that zoning also constraints government ability to do that and zoning reform helps to achieve that aim.
You might be wondering how upzoning affects the supply of public / state / social housing?
This question was addressed in this recently released working paper from Auckland.
And the answer is "yes", social housing responds STRONGLY to upzoning.
