Which is why I raise the argument, if you only need 200m - why can't we get that subdivided. Get a whole loft/shed thing going on with your own little slice of heaven.
Some of us can't afford the $400,000 for 400m but can afford $200K for sub-200m to build our shed/houses on.
And cross-leasing is like marrying your neighbors. Give me freehold fee simple any day.
Because then you would have a whole bunch of shonky developers buying up the land and building rough little units on the 200m2 sites. I agree with you on this, but it would need to be administered properly in terms of design principles etc. Ie...lots of units on smaller chunks of land but that look really good, function well together and actually create a good living environment rather than a slum...like exist in part of East Tamaki, Mangere, Manurewa, Penrose etc.
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
