Should Auckland have an all-access, night shelter? The debate over the best way…

Peyton Hall2026-07-02T00:14:54.000Z

council too busy building cycleways to build a basic shelter. typical.

Blake Turner2026-07-02T00:57:54.000Z

yeah cause the cycleways are the problem. get real.

Peyton Hall2026-07-02T01:08:54.000Z

facts. my tax dollars should be for food and shelter not bike lanes.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-02T00:27:54.000Z

so luxon had no idea there's no night shelter? jesus wept. how out of touch can you be?

Grace Patel2026-07-02T00:41:54.000Z

night shelters just attract more homeless from other areas. been proven overseas.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-02T01:05:54.000Z

same logic as 'dont build hospitals cos ppl will get sick'. weak.

Jordan Bell2026-07-02T01:35:54.000Z

that's a myth perpetuated by nimbys. show me the evidence.

Alex Rivera2026-07-02T00:57:54.000Z

my neighbor sleeps in his car. a shelter would change his life. ffs do something.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-02T01:14:54.000Z

absolutely. the need is right now, not in 5 years time.

Taylor Wright2026-07-02T01:10:54.000Z

heard bishop say they prefer 'housing first' but that takes years. ppl need help now.

Grace Patel2026-07-02T01:37:54.000Z

so lets just let them freeze? nah mate. shelter first then housing.

Alex Rivera2026-07-02T02:05:54.000Z

cope harder. ppl are dying out there and ur worried about 'attracting' them.

Jordan Bell2026-07-02T01:26:54.000Z

I volunteer at the city mission. The number of families with kids sleeping rough is heartbreaking. We need every option on the table.

Blake Turner2026-07-02T01:40:54.000Z

build it and they will come from all over nz. better to fix root causes.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-02T01:46:54.000Z

shelter is a bandaid but sometimes people need a bandaid before surgery. get it sorted.

Sam North2026-07-02T01:54:54.000Z

luxon doesn't care about homeless. just his millionaire mates.
