Various strategies and plans are being proposed globally to address housing issues and affordability. Democrats suggest lowering housing costs through government interventions, although the effectiveness of these measures is debated. In Australia, plans to build a significant number of homes are raising concerns about potential insolvency crises due to imbalances between construction targets and population growth. Initiatives like flooding the market with new homes in New Zealand and implementing stricter regulations for councils aim to tackle housing challenges but may face obstacles such as infrastructure readiness and economic implications.
