Dynamics of Governance: Local vs Central in Housing Policy
This chapter explores the relationship between local governments and central authorities in New Zealand and the United States, focusing on the power dynamics and interventions that central governments can impose. Through real-life examples, particularly in Auckland and Tauranga, it examines the challenges and limitations of housing policies and the insufficient impact of incentives alone. The chapter underscores the importance of local governance in shaping effective housing policies and the necessity for aligned incentives to address the complexities of housing challenges.
