ten new homes, cool. but that's a drop in the ocean, we need hundreds more.

Tom Harris2026-06-21T01:12:26.000Z

true but it's still 10 families with a roof tonight. better than nothing i reckon

Eva Anderson2026-06-21T00:43:26.000Z

meanwhile my rent just went up again. ffs

Eva Anderson2026-06-21T01:17:26.000Z

same here bro it's fucked. flatmates couch surfing because we can't afford rent

tītahi bay is a nice area, good on them for putting homes there. hope they're actually warm and dry this time.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-21T01:10:26.000Z

bet they'll just fill up with people from wellington who got priced out. locals still on the waitlist for years.
