Brilliant story on Vienna’s approach to housing (social housing on steroids with design competitions rewarding those with Green solutions), and how local govt is leading the way in the US even as Trump pulls back. www.npr.org/2025/06/15/n...

As a candidate for local govt in Maungawhau subdivision of Albert-Eden - one of the oldest areas of the city - this particularly resonates with me. The “But Council Inefficiency and Waste” mantra drowns out any reasoned debate that inevitably ends with this realisation
