ffs 30 flats empty for a year while people are sleeping in cars. absolute joke.
nah seen it myself. It's just sitting there. Insane.

Exactly. No off-street parking in Napier? Good luck.
my mate's been on the housing register for 18 months, yet these sit empty. make it make sense 🤡

30 goddamn flats and not a single person moved in. Meanwhile the council pats itself on the back for 'affordable housing'. what a load of shit.

it's some health and safety compliance bullshit holding it up. Ffs.
