This way they don’t have to blame their socialist policies for increased homelessness!

Geee-—Little Georgie Stephanosnotolpolous sold his house in NYC & was planning on moving to New Zealand.

Wonder how much it will cost him to buy his house back???

Sounds like the real problem is the phrase “center-left”. Socialists wrecking the housing market looking for someone else to blame.

Seems like a sensible response to ponzi shenanigans.

That’s just the excuse.

They really just want to get close to their master, Sauron, In Mordor.

Foreigners are to be banned from buying homes in New Zealand after a spate of millionaires seeking luxury doomsday boltholes has apparently crowded out local buyers and pushed up property prices.

XENOPHOBIA!

Parkland High School students become buddies with New Zealand kids

'Australia and Singapore will be exempt from the ban, due to free trade rules.'

Singapore has numerous restrictions on foreigners purchasing property. Some 'free' trade rule this is. Just like the ones we suffer thru.

“...Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, is blaming the apocalypse preppers for a major housing crisis in the country, with rates of homelessness among the highest in the developed world.”

I think a house in suburban New Jersey might be a safer place to weather TEOTWAWKI than a volcanic island in the Pacific with more cows than people.

LOL, didn’t Ruth Ginsberg threaten to move there if Trump won? Some much for the word of a Supreme Ct Justice. I would not put it past the Clinton’s and Obama’s of having a stake there.

New Zealand is so not...diverse. Why would all these rich liberals want to live there?

Apparently, there's also no timber in New Zealand, nor bricks, either.

Hmm, does anyone here know how to make a thatched hut, a hogan, or an adobe dwelling?

Seriously, in the event of TEOTWAWKI, I would rather be surrounded by cows than people.
