Wellington is full of places that have been vacant for years and in some cases a decade or more because commercial landlords will leave them empty and councils have no mechanism against it. This would be huge.

This election, more than any other in my lifetime, it is critical that after we throw out the current vandals and nihilists, the new government acts fast to strengthen our democracy, devolve power and make it far harder for that power to be taken away in future.
