Landowner criticises Ōrewa housing development fast-track proposal

Jack Morrison2026-07-23T18:02:00.000Z

Classic NIMBYs blocking housing. We need more homes, not more complaints.

Eva Anderson2026-07-23T18:18:00.000Z

another case of developers greasing the right palms. Labour is a joke, just pushing through whatever they want.

Ella Thompson2026-07-23T18:32:00.000Z

oh ffs, just build the houses. Orewa is already overpriced, this won't help anyone but the rich.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T18:41:00.000Z

Coming from someone who moved here 5 years ago and now wants to pull the ladder up. Shut up and let some young families in.

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T18:56:00.000Z

Fast-tracked housing always ends up being shoddy build quality and no infrastructure. Seen it a hundred times.

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T19:23:00.000Z

they'll be damp shoeboxes built by the lowest bidder.

Blake Turner2026-07-23T19:29:00.000Z

facts

Mia Carter2026-07-23T19:21:00.000Z

Wait so the locals didn't even get a say? That's a total stitch-up.

Jack Morrison2026-07-23T19:28:00.000Z

If we listened to every NIMBY nothing would ever get built. Rip the bandaid off.

Mia Carter2026-07-23T20:02:00.000Z

classic developer mates getting it through.

Eva Anderson2026-07-23T19:50:00.000Z

Yeah building more houses doesn't mean affordable ones. Look at all those 'luxury apartments' nobody can afford.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T20:06:00.000Z

stuffed, we need more supply. Prices will never come down otherwise.

Eva Anderson2026-07-23T20:22:00.000Z

cope. Supply doesn't help when investors just snap them up.

Ella Thompson2026-07-23T20:14:00.000Z

meanwhile commutes are getting longer because no infrastructure. Clueless planning as usual.
