And now they're going after Housing...

[Lilith7]

I tend to agree with them on this one, doesn't make much sense having state housing in one of the more affluent suburbs.  They absolutely still need to keep the existing policy of spreading them around the city to prevent the formation of slums/state housing neighbourhoods, but having them in Remuera makes no sense. 

$400million would buy a lot state houses in other neighbourhoods, assuming that's what they spend the money on...

I do understand the the alleged reasoning behind it but it also has a strong whiff of ' lets get the peasants out of the wealthy suburbs'.


And I also find it impossible to comprehend that Kainga Ora can possibly cope even better now that so many cuts have been made to staff; it smacks of Neo Liberalism effirts to bring about privatised health.
