'Sensible' or 'unpopular' - Auckland's housing intensification compromise

Grace Patel2026-07-21T17:58:52.000Z

yeah nah this is just gonna be another way for developers to line their pockets while we get shoebox apartments with no sun

Mason Young2026-07-21T18:51:52.000Z

so true. my mate's an architect and he says these new places have no storage whatsoever

Alex Rivera2026-07-21T19:41:52.000Z

about time honestly. we can't keep sprawling out forever. density done right is what we need

Grace Patel2026-07-21T20:19:52.000Z

get real. you think they'll build affordable? they'll be $800k for a studio

Blake Turner2026-07-21T19:47:52.000Z

love how they call it a 'compromise' when nobody actually asked for it lol

Aria Wilson2026-07-21T20:10:52.000Z

as a student who's been stuck in flatting hell for years, bring on more housing please. rents are a joke

Mason Young2026-07-21T20:26:52.000Z

another 15 minute city conspiracy come to life. next they'll ban cars

Aria Wilson2026-07-21T21:17:52.000Z

lol you're one of those people. enjoy your traffic

Reagan Shaw2026-07-21T20:34:52.000Z

why do they always announce this at 6am on a wednesday ffs some of us have work

Riley Scott2026-07-21T20:54:52.000Z

I live in an apartment block built in the 70s and it's fine. just build them properly for once

Grace Patel2026-07-21T21:01:52.000Z

heard the same promises 20 years ago and we got leaky homes 😂

Alex Rivera2026-07-21T21:56:52.000Z

yeah but the issue is the building code not the density. stick to the point

Alex Rivera2026-07-21T21:11:52.000Z

some of you will complain about anything. we need houses, this helps. simple

Mason Young2026-07-21T21:21:52.000Z

cope harder. we need change not nimbys whinging

Blake Turner2026-07-21T21:25:52.000Z

if it means better transport links and local shops I'm here for it. sick of driving 30 mins for milk

Grace Patel2026-07-21T22:20:52.000Z

30 mins for milk? where do you live, the boonies? 😂
