Strypey"Private developers build for profit, public housing providers are building for longevity so they need high quality, durable housing that's built to last.
If we build too cheaply we pay for it down the line."

JeremyJupiterJones I remember as a child asking my dad why there were state houses in Remuera.
My dad told me it was a deliberate choice to build dwellings in different areas by the govt as they did not want to create slums also many service workers worked in the areas they lived.
I can only assume this #NZPol coalition of cants have abandoned any pretense of NZ being an egalitarian society. #KāingaOra

Bob LeFridge Port Chalmers is just over the hill from me. Kainga Ora demolished 5 older state homes in Albertson Ave to build 9 new homes.
Following Bill English's dodgy review of the agency, the Nats stuck former Telecom CEO Simon Moutter in charge and surprise... no new houses. The plug has been pulled.
Dunedin desperately needs more social housing, but the Nats demand yet more wealth transfer for the super-wealthy.
May this cooker coalition collapse soon.

Paul H This is incredibly disappointing. One thing that impressed me about working at Kāinga Ora was how it attempted to embrace Te ao Māori in all aspects of its work and within the organisation. Never easy of course but the intent was there and it made it a better place to work at - and a better landlord too. It's no surprise that this government continues on its destructive and reactionary path that activily hurts and disadvantages Māori.

hiding from plagues ☣️♿Any reporters in Aotearoa NZ would like to do a story on kainga ora housing, in case they refuse to transfer me to somewhere more safe? #Aoteaora #aotearoanz #nz #nznews #nzmedia #kaingaora #Help
A quick hatchet job, ordered & accepted via text. It's third world stuff from National.
I should have included this video from Te Ariki Pihama, Chief Advisor Māori at Kāinga Ora on how to correctly pronounce its name. It's not that hard!
How to pronounce Kāinga Ora
This excellent from Kieran McAnulty. He really does nail how the government is undermining Kāinga Ora. Great speech.
