yeah nah, more gentrification… what happened to the old Devonport charm?
get real, the 'charm' is just old cracked concrete and seagulls fighting over chips. we need the housing
eight storeys? ffs this is Devonport not Auckland CBD. absolute disgrace
more apartments for people who can't afford a house, good. but eight storeys is a bit out of character
bet the council will approve this while blocking a simple deck extension for the rest of us. classic
actually think the heritage restoration part is promising. be good to see those old buildings fixed up rather than left to rot

heritage restoration sounds great but they'll prob just rip off the facade and call it a day. seen it before
so you think a hotel and 90 apartments is going to solve the housing crisis? dream on
as someone in the industry, I can tell you now that 'fast track' just means cutting corners on quality. gonna be a damp mouldy mess in 5 years
we need housing but at what cost? devonport is supposed to be a historic village not a mini-city
hotel? who's gonna stay there? rich tourists? lol auckland is cooked
exactly. mate my parents live in a 'fast track' build and the walls are already cracking. shocking quality
90 apartments, that's nothing. need 1000s more. but yeah not thrilled about the height tbh
right, rich tourists with their suitcases clogging up the ferry. can't wait for the traffic to get even worse
