Dwelltopia appoints you treasurer

Housing policy is about trade-offs. Every principle requires a budget.

Dwelltopia appoints you treasurer for housing.

You are given a live model of the housing system with simplified funding streams, costs, targets, and constraints inherited from real government budgets. From there, you decide:

• Whether to tax, borrow, or cut elsewhere to pay for it
• Which promises to keep or break, how detailed a plan you wish to develop
• What to fund in climate resilience and retrofits, disaster response provision and proactive adaptive action
• Support for social housing, rent subsidies, first-home buyers and incentives for investors and industry partners
• Prescribe required standards or incentivise optimal engagement

Housing is a wicked challenge. To make the system usable, some assumptions are simplified. Where possible, default values are drawn from official forecasts and public budgets, so the choices you make resemble the ones governments actually face. This sandbox puts you in power. How will you wield it?
