Cost of building doesn't affect land values, so if your portfolio is mostly single level family homes, you don't have too much to worry about.

Four metres is pretty bloody high actually.

They're all landlords, so have a vested interest in house prices remaining high.

It does, yes. This means it will be much easier to import equivalent products from overseas, bypassing the Fletcher monopoly on Wallboard.

I can't understand why Labour didn't do this while in power, actually.

Why would our politicians be directly involved in this in the first place?

Start handing out jail terms for these hateful actions, and see how quickly they stop.

There's some scummy business practices in the healthcare industry, so I'm happy to see these guys being undercut like this.

So does old mate Coutts, to be honest.

Sounds like a good way to get a cone stolen to me.

Their opinion seemed to be a combination of hatred for capitalism and Elon Musk, and they came off to me as being grasping at straws to justify that opinion.

The point is that even though someone does something fun money, that does not mean what they do is not harmful.

Who said it wasn't? You're arguing against a point nobody made.

Where did I say I was a fan of him?

You're making judgement calls about the technology because you hate the owner of the company, which is kinda sad.

Starlink sats are only visible to the naked eye when they've just launched, once in orbit they're only a problem for ground based optical astronomy, and even then it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem as everyone makes out.

I get that you probably hate Musk, but a lot of the points you're making are just nonsense.

They do have more equipment on them now, so it's possible they've gone up in cost.

Why are they more necessary? They both do the same job.

Do you also think cell towers are "polluting the landscape"?

That makes absolutely no sense.

I doubt it, not at the rate they throw them up.

How do you know that? You're launching an entire rocket to kill one satellite, that can't be cheap.
