BlueCHP Limited
Total loan of $70 million
First Home Loan Deposit Scheme launches today
Share t f l &
BLUECHP LIMITED - $70 MILLION
NHFIC's transformative financing has enabled BlueCHP Limited (BlueCHP) to revise its debt profile to increase the supply of social and affordable housing.
BlueCHP is a not-for-profit community housing provider (CHP) operating with a core function to source, purchase, develop and own dwellings. BlueCHP undertakes stand-alone development projects, third party CHP developments and joint ventures, delivering over 1,700 properties in the last 10 years.
The AHBA loan has enabled BlueCHP to refinance 630 social and affordable dwellings in their portfolio of properties. Such dwellings include a mixture of detached houses, attached houses and granny flats and group homes.
One of BlueCHP's community housing projects includes Jordan Springs, a newly developed precinct located near Penrith, Sydney and 5km from the refurbished Nepean Hospital. Jordan Springs is an example of an affordable housing property that has been integrated into an existing community without any visible differences. The loan also includes working capital to fund construction of an additional 87 single dwellings in Jordan Springs.
It is estimated that NHFIC's low cost financing will save BlueCHP at least $1.3 million each year for 10 years which can be used for new housing projects.
"Financing made available through the NHFIC loan is worth at least $13 million in savings over the 10-year term which can be deployed into new community housing."
Charles Northcote, BlueCHP CEO
Affordable housing outcomes
The purpose of the loan is to increase affordable housing supply and it will achieve this by the following outcomes:
Existing dwellings: Refinancing over 630 social and affordable dwellings.
Additional dwellings: Enable construction of 87 new single dwellings in Jordan Springs.
Possible outcomes from interest savings: With the potential cost savings it is anticipated that BlueCHP could develop an additional 40 dwellings (assuming $330k construction cost) over the term of the loan or fund community programs through their service providers

FAIRBANKS, PORTLAND & SEATTLE - March 31, 1999 -- The University of Washington is very pleased to announce that the University of Alaska is being connected to the next generation Internet2 super-high-speed research and education network.
This new network link provides a crucial high-performance connection between the major national Internet2 network hub in Seattle which serves the Northwest, and The University of Alaska Statewide System in Fairbanks, Alaska.
The fiber optic cable based connection provides a state of the art "SONET OC-12" link which is fully compatible with Internet2 and next-generation Internet technologies and is being contributed to the Pacific Northwest Gigapop Internet2 research and education networking effort by WCI Cable Inc.
At about 2,000 miles in length it will be the longest network segment anywhere within the Internet2 network.
The University of Alaska and the University of Washington have a long history of collaboration in research, education and medicine including a partnership in the late 1980's in bringing the original internet, then called NSFnet to the Northwest and Alaska.
The new Internet2 connection will place the University of Alaska as one of the top ten universities in the country for high-speed next-generation Internet connectivity. It gives the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, as fast a connection as exists at any other university supercomputing center in the nation.
This link will enable the University of Alaska and other qualified research and education partners to become full and active participants in Internet2 next-generation Internet development and will extend the new generation of Internet2 technologies, capabilities and opportunities to the entire research and education community in Alaska. The network link will be used for education and research purposes and will enable not only high-speed access to the U of A's supercomputing facilities and growing digital repositories, but will also provide faculty, students and staff as well as research and clinical partners with access to and roles in developing the new generation of Internet-based multimedia, video, and voice applications; powerful new forms of telemedicine; high quality distance education capabilities; teleimmersion facilities; and the leading edge e-business technologies which Internet2 and the next generation of Internet technologies enable.
High-speed Internet connection between Alaska and the rest of nation has been long sought by the University of Alaska, its partner institutions including the UW in the 'contiguous 48', and by many others in the state of Alaska and federal government. UA presently has four T-1 lines for its research and education Internet connections. The four T-1s provide a bit rate of about 6 million bits per second. An OC-12 connection furnishes about 620 million bits per second -- roughly 100 times faster than the current connection. Now, at last, the fastest and most sophisticated network transport technologies, super high-speed next-generation Internet capacity are coming to Alaska. Full OC-12-level services will be operational by September 30, 1999 in time for the Fall Internet 2 members' meeting, to be held in Seattle October 10-13.


So, if I begin a new tweet with "@idealogmag" and you follow me (@henry__oliver - plug!), you will see that tweet even if you don't follow @idealogmag. Will it stop the use of Twitter as a customer complaint platform? One can only hope.
But, replies are still invisible unless you follow both people, so if I reply to a tweet from @idealogmag it will only show in your fed if you follow us both.
Did you post an amazing tweet when you got home at 2:45AM and nobody saw it? Just retweet yourself at a high-traffic time. Easy!
Phew. That was such a waste.
Quoted tweets won't count either, so if you want to tweet something really long, just write half of it and then quote that tweet and add the second half.
Any questions, just tweet at @jack, I'm sure he'll get back to you ASAP.


Warnings about climate change were coming half a century ago.
Concerns about global warming and how to address it (see Q&A) have a long history. The First World Climate Conference was held in 1979, and the United Nations created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 1988.
Early warning: Columbus Iselin, former director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (seen in background), examined how global warming could change ocean currents, which in turn could accelerate the warming trend.
To be precise, the carbon-dioxide experiment began with the industrial revolution, when men started burning fuels in unprecedented amounts. Since the beginning of that revolution they have produced something like 12 per cent of the total carbon dioxide already present in the air. The capacity of the oceans to absorb this gas is enormous, however. Most of the excess produced in the past century probably has been removed in this way. The next century will be different.
Cowen cited Columbus Iselin, an MIT professor and former director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who theorized that higher temperatures resulting from increasing carbon dioxide emissions would eventually prevent polar regions from producing enough cold, dense water to drive the "thermodynamic flywheel" that sends tropical waters into northern latitudes. Stifling the flywheel, Iselin said, would limit the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the oceans, with unpredictable results.
If the ocean's ability to soak up carbon dioxide is reduced, this would increase the greenhouse warming effect as more of that gas accumulated in the atmosphere. Thus there may be a climatic persistence effect due to the oceans which enhances warming after such a trend has started. Once the climate has warmed up to a certain point, the oceans would stop overturning. Because less carbon dioxide would be removed from the atmosphere, this in turn would accentuate the warming trend, which would tend to persist.
Cowen stressed the uncertainty of long-term climate predictions, a problem that still dogs scientists. He noted that most scientists believed just a slight drop in global temperatures could spur an ice age. British geophysicist George Simpson, meanwhile, speculated that slightly higher temperatures could bring on a new ice age by increasing the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, which could mean heavier snows and growing glaciers.
Given that Earth's climate was so delicate, so variable, and constantly in flux, predictions were hard enough, wrote Cowen. Now humans, with their "carbon-dioxide-producing industry," had thrown yet another factor into the mix. Maybe experts couldn't predict the consequences, but they felt safe in saying the results could alter the world.
The influence of this new and geologically unique factor may be operating in any of several directions. It could be tending toward a new ice age or could just as likely be producing another great tropical epoch like that prevailing when coal and oil deposits were laid down. Perhaps its influence is more moderate than such extremes suggest. The interactions are so involved that experts do not yet know how to sort them out. One thing they are sure of—this influence is at work on a scale to dwarf all previous changes man has made.
Cowen, now 84 and living in Concord, Massachusetts, retired this year after 45 years as a staffer and 15 as a columnist for the Christian Science Monitor (he's also a former member of TR's editorial advisory board). He notes that the theory of global warming actually dates back to the 19th century and was gaining ground "around the fringes" of the scientific community by 1957. He first wrote about it for the Monitor in 1958, in an article that he suspects might be the first on the subject by any American reporter.
Timothy Maher is TR 's assistant managing editor.


The Glenbrook Vintage Railway is maintained and operated entirely by enthusiastic volunteers who freely donate their time and efforts to ensure the success of this rewarding and historically significant project. The various jobs are done by people from all walks of life in their spare time, who have learned to work as railway professionals for the sheer fun and challenge of it. Without volunteers the GVR would not operate at all, and more are urgently needed to fill vacancies in all departments.
This is an important GVR - Public interface, the first point of contact with most of our passengers. Volunteers carry out a wide variety of tasks - ticket sales, souvenir shop sales, refreshment shop sales and preparation, motor and hand jigger operation, crowd control, assisting disabled passengers, ensuring tidiness of the station and facilities, public announcements and generally helping out where needed. Younger volunteers often commence their association with our railway here, before moving on to positions of greater responsibility or in other departments.
Station staff are required for running days during the October to June operating season, on Sundays, public holidays and for special events such as "Day Out With Thomas", Duty times are usually from around 9am to 5pm depending on the position. There are also many mid week special charters, for which two or three refreshment shop helpers are needed, plus a Tour Host.
This is a rewarding position for those who enjoy meeting people too. Guards travel on all passenger trains to look after the passengers, help them on and off the trains, check their tickets, answer any questions and make them welcome. Guards assist in testing the train brakes, signal to the Driver when the train is due to depart and on many services are helped by an Assistant Guard, which is a training position for advancement to other positions, as it gives a good grounding in the basic railway operating principles.
The main requirement for Guards is on regular train running and special days during the October to June operating season, generally for 8 to 9 hours. A Guard is also needed on special tourist charter trains, usually mid-week, and which occupy only around 4 hours. This particularly suits retired people with a few hours to spare, and who are looking for a worthwhile and rewarding part-time activity.
Many people with an interest in railways dream of being able to drive a steam or diesel locomotive, and if this is your ambition, this is the department for you. There is a well defined and proven system of training and promotion from Engine Cleaner, to Fireman, to Driver, and the locomotive crew on all GVR trains will have qualified via this route. The Engine Driver has the most demanding operational role on the Railway, requiring not only a detailed knowledge and experience of train handling, but the safe management of steam boilers, for which a special qualification and a minimum period of service is required.
All trains require a Driver and Fireman, and a Cleaner is frequently included to assist in the preparation and operation of the locomotive, and to gain experience towards eventual promotion to Fireman. Because of the time required to raise steam pressure, locomotive crews put in the longest days of all on the Railway and to allow a later start it is usual for them to light up the engine the previous afternoon if the boiler is not already warm. Mid week charters are not demanding, are more leisurely, and are completed by lunch time.
Cleaners assist in the cleaning and polishing of the locomotives, help with the lighting up and when running trains they are given the opportunity to do some of the firing, a most practical hands-on way to experience the appeal and reality of steam. In New Zealand Railways days, for an enthusiast to ride in the cab of a steam locomotive was a rare privilege, but on the GVR enthusiastic engine crews do this as a matter of course. As a volunteer, this could be your opportunity to experience and learn what steam is really all about, rather than just through the lens of a camera.
Track work is a vital aspect of the Railway, not always obvious to passengers as most works are carried out when trains don't run. Since the opening of the Glenbrook Vintage Railway in 1977 the entire track, which formed the original Waiuku Branch, has been replaced, in many places more than once, and extensive yards and sidings have been laid where none previously existed. This has all been the work of a well equipped, enthusiastic group of volunteers, mostly on Saturdays throughout the year, with major works requiring complete line closure, and carried out during the winter shutdown.
With a dedicated work train, comprehensive power equipment, rail mounted digger, a fleet of ballast wagons and a mechanical track tamper the Track Gang lays sleepers, rail, points (turnouts) and ballast, and maintains, levels and aligns the track to ensure the safe and smooth operation of the train, while controlling weeds and track side foliage and keeping drains clear.
Key members of the Track Gang have worked well together for years, and although the task is usually physical, frequently arduous, and the weather sometimes poor, they gain great satisfaction from a job well done. A well laid, aligned and ballasted section of track can be appreciated by all, particularly by the crews and passengers of the trains passing over it. New volunteers are always welcome, and with basic practical "on the job" training can quickly provide real assistance to this most necessary aspect of running a railway.
Maintaining our running locomotives in top condition and restoring others to operation is the main focus of a dedicated group of volunteers at the workshops at Pukeoware, mid way along our line. A well equipped machine shop ensures that most repair and restoration work on locomotives can be completed on site. The workshops also maintain the mechanical aspects of our extensive range of passenger carriages and goods wagons. Not only is this work interesting and rewarding, there is the satisfaction of knowing that we are preserving in a most practical way various engineering skills that have been long forgotten.
While some of the work requires qualified and experienced people, there is much that does not, and with some training, volunteers can contribute in a most practical and useful way and there is never any shortage of jobs to be done. These range from lathe turning and other machining, through fitting, gas cutting and welding, to dismantling, cleaning, painting, testing, assembling, and generally helping out.
There are workshop activities on all Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesdays throughout the year. Particularly on Wednesdays, there is a good turnout of mostly retired people who gain great satisfaction from contributing to a worthwhile project and from socialising with those similarly inclined. If you want to help out, come along to the Pukeoware workshop on any Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday.
Also at Pukeoware is the Car and Wagon works, where our passenger car fleet is restored, repaired and maintained. Being a Heritage Railway, most of our carriages are wooden or incorporate wooden framing, and therefore the skills required are woodworking, coach building, cabinet making and brush and spray painting. If your preference is to work with wood rather than iron and steel, the activities in Car and Wagon could be for you, and if you don't have specific carpentry skills, there are many other general tasks such as paint removal, sanding and preparation to be done.
The presentation of our carriages is of great importance and volunteers take pride in the finish of external paintwork and the beautiful internal native timber wooden panelling to convey the impression to our passengers of how travel used to be. Main activities in the Car and Wagon works are on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and if you are interested in helping, come along.
Fondly remembered steam railways of the past were actually quite dirty with locomotive soot and cinders and in this respect the GVR is absolutely authentic. Therefore there is a need to regularly clean our carriages :- inside, outside, roofs and windows of the GVR and mainline carriage fleets, and to remove debris left by passengers, all facilitated by our car washing facility at Pukeoware. Therefore, if you want to help the GVR in a practical way but can't afford the time and commitment to regular restoration works and operations, you could help to maintain our carriages fleet in top condition by assisting our cleaning teams.
Many of our volunteers have several roles. Some who help out in the workshop and on track work also assist operations by driving or firing locomotives or as guards or signal men. On busy "Day Out With Thomas" weekends, just about everyone is involved and regular weekend or Wednesday workers can be found making PA announcements, selling souvenirs, serving refreshments, helping passengers etc.
The easiest way to join our Wednesday or weekend working teams at Pukeoware is to come along on any of these days and meet us, see what we do and if you like what you see, we can sign you up and make you most welcome. Alternatively you could talk to our staff at the Glenbrook station or follow here.
No organisation can survive without the efforts of those who work behind the scenes. To meet the needs of both the RES members and also the general public, a dedicated team of volunteers work in the RES Clubrooms, situated at 38 Alfred Street, Onehunga, every morning, Monday to Saturday. Currently, there are 6 separate teams, one for each day.
Collecting RES mail from the Post Office in Onehunga and sorting it according to requirements.
Replying to requests from members, either by phone or e-mail.
Answering enquiries from the public about Railway excursions and the Glenbrook Vintage Railway including Thomas Weekend enquiries.
Allowing members and the public to visit our Museum and take donations of memorabilia and deceased estates.
Entering membership and subscription payments into the membership database.
Entering trip and excursion bookings into the appropriate spreadsheets.
Recording all daily financial transactions, either by cheque, cash, or credit card and sending details to the RES Treasurer.
Banking all cash and cheques each day.


different lock screen and home screen wallpaper?
I am new to Android I just came over from an iPhone 4 and was used to being able to have different home screen and lock screen wallpapers, I'm not sure how to do it on my new Droid RAZR HD if it's even possible. If it is possible please let me know how to do it.
Check out Apex Launcher, or Nova Launcher in the Play Store for your home screen replacement. They are the best home screen replacement applications I have found on Android thus far!
Unfortunately, the easiest way is to use Widgetlocker. I say unfortunately because it's $2.99. But it is a great program; it allows you to put whatever widgets you want right on your lockscreen. You can use your own wallpaper there as well.
Can I buy a Nexus 4 from Google, and will att put it on my present (no contract) plan?


Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities like crowding, improper bites, cross-bites, over-bites, or abnormal jaw growth.
An orthodontist is a specialist who has completed an advanced education residency program following dental school to learn the special skills required to manage tooth movement and guide facial development.
Orthodontic treatment can be started at any age. Many orthodontic problems are easier to correct if detected at an early age before jaw growth has slowed or stopped. Early treatment may allow a patient to avoid surgery or more serious complications. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child first visit an orthodontist by age seven, or earlier if a problem is detected by the parents, the family dentist, or the child's physician.
Phase I, or early interceptive treatment, is limited orthodontic treatment (i.e. expander or partial braces) before all of the permanent teeth have erupted. Such treatment can occur between the ages of six and ten. This treatment is sometimes recommended to make more space for developing teeth, or to correct cross-bites, overbites, underbites, or harmful oral habits. Phase II treatment is also called comprehensive treatment because it involves full braces or Invisalign when all of the permanent teeth have erupted, usually between the ages of eleven and thirteen.
Braces use steady, gentle pressure to gradually move teeth. The brackets placed on your teeth and the archwire connecting them are the main components. When the archwire is placed into the brackets, it tries to return to its original shape. As it does so, it applies pressure to move your teeth to their new, more ideal positions.
Treatment times vary on a case-by-case basis, but the average time is one to two years. Actual treatment time can be affected by the patient's rate of growth and severity of the correction necessary. Treatment length is also dependent upon patient compliance. Maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping regular appointments are important in keeping treatment time on schedule.
New techniques and materials today have made orthodontic treatment more comfortable than ever. The placement of bands and brackets on your teeth does not hurt. Once your braces are placed and connected with the archwires, your teeth may be sore for a few days and your lips and cheeks may need a week or two to get used to the braces. Discomfort, if any, can be managed using over-the-counter analgesics.
No. It is strongly recommended, however, that patients protect their smiles by wearing a mouthguard when participating in any sporting activity. Mouthguards are inexpensive, comfortable, and come in a variety of colors and patterns.
Will braces interfere with playing an instrument?
No, but there may be an initial period of adjustment. In addition, brace covers can be provided to prevent discomfort.
Should I see my dentist while I have braces?
Yes, you should continue to see your dentist every six months for cleanings and dental checkups.
Your appointments will be scheduled about every 6-8 weeks depending on your treatment.
The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on many factors, including the severity and complexity of the problem and the length of treatment. We will be glad to discuss fees with you at your initial consultation before treatment begins. Many patients find orthodontic treatment is more affordable today than ever. We offer a variety of convenient payment plans and accept orthodontic benefits from most dental insurance providers. You can also set aside pre-tax dollars in a flexible spending account or other health savings account to pay for your orthodontic treatment.


Home » Happy Mother's Day?
A lot of people say that, right? Yet, a lot of parents hinder their kids by saying they want what's best for the kid, but they end up trying to get what's best for the parent. Like, not allowing the kid to have a social life so the kid will stay at home and keep the parent company. Or a parent who doesn't want the kid to go away to college because the parent will miss the kid too much. To me, this type of immaturity in raising kids actually ends up harming the child…and I'm so, SO glad I never had to deal with that.
I was never made to feel guilty because my dreams and desires took me away from my parents home. I've never had to feel angst and shame because I missed being at Mom's beckon call on her birthday or mother's day. Life just doesn't always allow for me to be everywhere I WANT to be-but I've got a Mom who truly wants me to live my life. And that, unfortunately, means sometimes she doesn't get to see her kids on mother's day. Like, today.
The other thing I've found about my mom is that she truly appreciates just the opportunity of being a mom. She has two adult, healthy, happy successful kids who she doesn't have to spend extra time worrying about. Of course, she's a mom, so she'll worry like any mother, but not undually so.
This morning, I looked at MarkDewalle.com, the blog ran by my favorite nurse, Barb Dewalle, who many of you've read about in "After This…" Barb's 24 year old son, Mark, passed away due to a rare form of cancer in 2007. Can any of us imagine being a mom on mother's day when we also have a child who is deceased? That's gotta be really, really tough….
Plus, I've just accepted a new position on the state advisory board for Mothers Against Drunk Driving-Florida. What is the whole reason MADD exists? Moms who've had the unnecessary loss of a child. Again, what must mother's day be like for these moms?
My mom nearly lost me back in '93 in that horrible crash. Do we tend to appreciate things more when they're almost snatched away? You betcha…and I think that's something my mom has never forgotten. And from that, I benefit…and I hope she benefits, too, by seeing a well-adjusted adult child living the life he wants to lead.
So this Mother's Day 2009, I hope you'll spare a thought and some good energy for moms who've lost children…and I hope you'll take some inspiration from my mom who truly wants what is best for her kids, too.

Hina Mauka Review
Hina Mauka started out in 1965 as a 12-step based volunteer movement operating out of a Hawaiian hospital. In 1984, Hina Mauka opened its treatment center. Today, the rehab's three facilities provide inpatient, outpatient and adolescent services. Hina Mauka's residential program is in Kaneohe, a picturesque Oahu community known for its tropical climate.
Accommodations and Food
The adult residential program has a 48-bed capacity. Gender-specific rooms are shared, each with two twin beds, dressers and a cabinet with a sink. Two rooms share a bathroom. Residents are served two hot meals and one cold entree daily, cafeteria-style. The diverse menu includes plenty of seafood, of course, along with Mediterranean, Tex-Mex, Pan Pacific and Italian cuisine. For lunch and dinner, the salad bar is stocked up with fresh leafy greens and veggies. Coffee and nutrition snacks are provided throughout the day.
Hina Mauka does not provide detox but they do make referrals to outside resources. Upon intake, inpatient clients undergo a full psychiatric evaluation and a urine toxicology screening. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including Suboxone, is available and medical monitoring is provided. Treatment length varies according to a resident's needs, but most newcomers can expect a 45-day stay. The inpatient program is comprised of a substance abuse track, a co-occurring disorders track and a criminal justice track. While clients are assigned a track, treatment plans are modified to suit each individual's needs and residents can use components from different tracks.
The evidence-based protocol uses CBT as a major therapeutic modality. While on-site 12-step meetings are provided, residents can attend church services instead. Weekly treatment includes individual therapy, group therapy and educational sessions. The program provides a minimum of 24 hours per week of face-to-face treatment including a minimum of one hour a week of individual counseling. Group topics include Motivational Interviewing (MI), relapse prevention and anger management. Weekly gender-specific and trauma groups are offered and dual diagnosis support includes medication management and depression and anxiety issues.
Day treatment is Hina Mauka's most intensive outpatient option, meeting for four hours a day, Monday through Friday. This program provides the same individualized, comprehensive treatment as the residential program, but allows clients to remain in their own home. It is a good option for those with a stable home life, work and family commitments and healthy social relationships.
Outpatient treatment is one to 15 hours a week, depending on the individual. Group sessions are three hours long, with a maximum of five groups per week. The program always includes assessment, initial and updated treatment planning, crisis intervention, individual and group counseling and substance abuse education. Recreational therapy, the family program and substance abuse testing are optional.
Hina Mauka CEO Alan Johnson serves as chairman of the Hawaii Substance Abuse Coalition. The rehab also employs a certified substance abuse program administrator, a Master's-level psychologist, a medical director/psychiatrist and many CSACs. All three facilities combined have approximately 130 staff members including part-time counselors, interns, volunteers and teaching assistants (for the TEEN care program). In addition, it has contracts for on-site services with several outside medical facilities, mental health agencies, and psychologists. At the residential facility, the staff-to-client ratio is approximately two-to-one.
Hina Mauka has a peer mentoring program to help with the transition from treatment back to society. Volunteers from the local community meet with program participants to encourage hope and self-confidence. They also set an example of the life skills and attitudes needed for clients to succeed in their recovery and personal lives. Meetings take place outside treatment and occur once a week for six months. This program is voluntary and available to clients at any level of care.
Hina Mauka makes the most of its fantastic location by providing a plethora of recreational therapy activities including beach outings, trips to nearby Waimea Falls, yoga, Tai Chi and Zumba. Art therapy and music therapy are also provided.
Aftercare is available for up to 12 weeks following discharge from any treatment program. Group sessions take place once a week for 90 minutes. Aftercare aims to provide a smooth transition from intensive treatment to an ongoing healthy life.
Hina Mauka's Teen CARE program provides school- and community-based substance abuse outpatient and prevention services for adolescents.
Hina Mauka is a well-respected rehab with a long history and an intimate, nurturing environment in a gorgeous tropical setting. Those seeking recovery in paradise at an affordable price need look no further.

The antiquated business rates system is a major barrier to investment and must be reformed, the Confederation of Business Industry (CBI) has urged. The CBI has recommended that smaller properties should be exempt from business rates, revaluations should be more frequent, and future increases should be limited as a result of a switch of the inflation benchmark which they track. The recommendations were made in a response by the industry body to a review of business rates announced by George Osborne, the Chancellor, in last year's Autumn Statement. The industry body has recommended properties valued below £12,000 should be exempt from rates. The CBI has also called on the Government to reform its "decades-old" business rates model and shift towards raising the tax in line with the consumer price index (CPI), as opposed to the retail price index (RPI). Unlike CPI, RPI includes housing costs, which considerably inflates the rate and has largely fallen out of favour as an economic measure. Such a move could save UK companies £1.5bn, the CBI has said, and would ensure business rates do not outpace the official measure of inflation.
That's really not the point at all. Business rates are the closest thing to land value taxation that we have. As such they're pretty close to being the perfect tax (for we're always going to have government and thus do have to raise tax money somehow). And the point is that land (or at least land with the permission to build a commercial outlet upon) is the scarce thing. We thus want to tax that thing at its current market value. It is this which leads to the use of that scarce thing more efficiently.
It shouldn't actually be linked to an inflation measure at all: it should be linked solely to that underlying land value. But if it is going to be linked to an inflation measurement then it has to be to the one that includes that underlying land value, not the one that excludes it.
There is the other point of course. Which is that they're only arguing for this at a time when CPI is lower than RPI. As and when that reverses they'll be calling for a reversal. As has happened with things like cost of living increases in pensions. When wage growth is higher than inflation the government tends to link the increases to inflation. When wage growth is below inflation then the switch occurs to linking to wage growth.
So, of course, we could say that the CBI is just trying on what the politicians do routinely. To which the response is, come on CBI, you're not politicians and they are. Meaning that you're better than that.
