Housing cost and land-supply constraint
Open 0 of 4 support, 1 against; partly supported needs two more.
Restrictive land supply, slow servicing of land and high building costs make housing expensive relative to incomes. The hypothesis is that high housing cost pushes citizens, especially people aged 20-39, to leave, and loads demand onto public provision. The official record documents the cost pathway, not a housing-to-emigration pathway.
