The government announced a new attempt to curb high land prices by changing how land values are calculated, aiming to limit speculative pricing. Home Minister Elanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan said the measure is not a quick fix. In the Reevedelta near Kampen, where about 3,800 homes are planned, land purchases and sales have delayed construction. Boekholt-O'Sullivan visited Kampen to examine how those negotiations could be accelerated.
