South Dunedin residents find out their homes could be up for acquisition during…

ffs, been saying for years this was coming. council dragging its feet as usual.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-16T19:22:25.000Z

so they'll buy us out but where are we supposed to go? prices everywhere else are cooked.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-16T20:00:25.000Z

same, my heart goes out to them. it's just not fair.

Drew Parker2026-06-16T20:11:25.000Z

lol the housing market everywhere is cooked so what's new. at least you get a payout, some of us are stuck renting.

Drew Parker2026-06-16T19:42:25.000Z

wait, so the report says it's possible but it'll take 'decades and lots of money'? what a surprise 😑

Sky Murphy2026-06-16T19:56:25.000Z

honestly i think it's the right call. we can't keep building on a floodplain and expecting it to magically be fine. climate change is real, people.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-16T20:33:25.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed council, just another way to price out the poor and sell the land to developers

Drew Parker2026-06-16T20:39:25.000Z

get stuffed mate, the council already owns half the town they'll just pocket the profit

Mia Carter2026-06-16T20:49:25.000Z

wonder how much they'll lowball the offers. watch them offer market value from before the floods not what it's actually gonna cost to move

Mia Carter2026-06-16T21:36:25.000Z

exactly lol they'll offer some garbage sum and act generous

Drew Parker2026-06-16T21:03:25.000Z

so taxpayers foot the bill for decades while the council pats themselves on the back? classic

Sky Murphy2026-06-16T21:16:25.000Z

everyone mad about property prices but nobody wants to talk about managed retreat being the only sensible long-term solution. short term thinking got us here.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-16T21:53:25.000Z

oh here comes the 'climate change' moralising while the rest of us lose everything
