"NZ doesn't have to be this way" More homeless on Auckland streets.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

There are still two empty newly refurbished flats in our village. We are told no one has applied to rent them, despite the rents being 'half the usual rent'. Since the government dropped the subsidy for new pensioner tenants in our flats, the newbies will be paying more than us legacy tenants. For the same very small spaces. They tell us no one wants to move in. They seem surprised.

Do they not understand we wouldn't be here either if we had an alternative, that wasn't under a bridge...
