Number of high rises near new Auckland train station could be slashed

Classic Auckland Council – promise the world, then slash it after the election. What a load of shit.

yeah nah, we actually need the housing. What's the point of a station if no one lives near it?

Typical NIMBYs in Mt Eden getting their way again. Meanwhile renters like me can't afford to live anywhere near public transport. Cheers.

stuffed mate, we just don't want our suburb turned into a concrete jungle.

Honestly maybe it's for the best. Those towers would block the sun for the whole neighborhood. Balance is important.

Riley Scott2026-07-14T08:34:00.000Z

yeah but we also need affordable homes. Sunlight is a luxury a lot of ppl can't afford right now.

Aria Wilson2026-07-14T08:22:00.000Z

ffs we need more density near stations, not less. This is the whole point of the CRL. Brainless decision.

Bet the developers are still gonna get their cut somehow. Watch them slap up luxury apartments no one can afford.

Stuff2026-07-14T09:12:00.000Z

it's a joke. Council's all talk and no walk.

Mount Eden is already so posh, they probably don't want the poors getting off the train. 🤡
