Is our Government really manipulating house prices?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew discuss whether the New Zealand Government is quietly manipulating house prices, and the surprising reasons why they might want to.

- The top 5 ways politicians and policymakers influence property values (without admitting it)
- How rising house prices create a “wealth effect” that boosts spending and voter confidence
- Why some housing policies – even the well-intentioned ones – can push prices higher
