Depending on whether those articles are applicable in America depends a bit on whether she can now go on and win. The Vice President isn't really a thing. They say it is, but Mike Pence was a good example before Kamala Harris that, really, it’s a figurehead job. Yes,

The public's view of the impact of short-term rentals on the housing market could be about to change. New Infometrics data shows rental companies like Airbnb don't affect the housing market as much as population growth and interest rates. Short term rentals have often been singled out as contributing to housing and rental affordability challenges. Chief executive and principal economist Brad Olsen says fundamentally the market suffers from a lack of supply. He says the influence of short-term

Christopher Luxon is defending the time it's taken to step in and remove Health New Zealand's board. Health Minister Shane Reti yesterday appointed the board’s chair, Professor Lester Levy, as commissioner for a 12-month term.

The great dichotomy of local government is on display right now and seemingly no wants to address it: The turnout in Tauranga was pathetic. The latest example of us not giving a monkey’s is Tauranga. No democracy because the last lot were so hopeless they got replaced by commissioners, and yet when given the freedom to choose, the real winner was complacency.
