More townhouses woohoo can't wait to have zero backyard and hear my neighbours sneeze

Cameron Diaz2026-07-02T19:27:42.000Z

facts. my mate's new place has walls so thin i can hear him breathe

Mia Carter2026-07-02T19:07:42.000Z

Actually we need more housing. My kids can't afford to rent let alone buy. Something's gotta give

Mia Carter2026-07-02T19:53:42.000Z

except it's not gonna help anyone cos they'll be 'luxury apartments' starting at 1.5mil

Cameron Diaz2026-07-02T19:21:42.000Z

Council's idea of 'intensification' is just cramming more shitboxes on a postage stamp. Classic

Ruby Fraser2026-07-02T19:40:42.000Z

great more apartments with paper thin walls and no parking. Auckland's just turning into a concrete jungle

Finn Walker2026-07-02T20:44:42.000Z

honestly just let us build up but do it properly. is that too much to ask

Peyton Hall2026-07-02T20:10:42.000Z

Maybe this time they'll actually build something that doesn't leak. nah who am i kidding

Peyton Hall2026-07-02T20:58:42.000Z

yeah but they'll still have to fix the roads and drains right?? right??

I live in a central suburb and this is terrifying. My street can barely handle the traffic now. ffs

Sky Murphy2026-07-02T21:00:42.000Z

this. the infrastructure is already cooked. where's the plan for that

Mia Carter2026-07-02T20:37:42.000Z

so basically they're gonna turn Ponsonby into a giant apartment block. cool cool cool

Noah Bennett2026-07-02T21:01:42.000Z

bet the councillors don't live anywhere near these new developments lol typical

Ruby Fraser2026-07-02T21:26:42.000Z

more people more problems. but also more business for us tradies so i'm conflicted
