There is probably a bit more to this than the headline is giving.. everyone's gonna dogpile the costs bit. A lot depends on what the next update looks like.
jeez 11m swells thats insane. we just gonna ignore this?
right mate. councils just sit on their hands
Spent all day sandbagging my garage again. Unreal how often it floods now.
Stay safe out there everyone. These storms are getting worse every year.
yeah but what can we actually do? feels hopeless sometimes
nah ive seen that too. its real
Worked in construction for 20 years and the new builds are not built for this climate. Just don't.
Facts. The engineering barely accounts for the new extremes
We need to start adapting now. The cost will only go up the longer we wait.
Studying this stuff at uni rn and it's terrifying but no one seems to care enough to act
Preach. feels like shouting into the void
tbh it's all about money. until it hits their wallets nothing will change
so true. its all about the bottom line till its too late
Seen it first hand in Dunedin. red stickers everywhere after that 2024 flood. heartbreaking.
maybe its time to move inland lol
You can tell this hits home for a lot of families.. wait till facebook gets the costs headline. People usually just want a sensible outcome here.
