Hard News: Housing, hope and ideology, in reply to Sacha,
Yes every three years we give the gold to the congress, and our invisible senate and president veto is substituted for a robust news core. I can't wait for the robust news cores, apparently it 's Alice's next job after the waterview tunnel.

Elites suck unless they play rugby and then they rock.

I think flatting was a phase of youth housing system that has crept in as a social norm.
Co-existing with complete strangers is not easy. Individual housing has more social and mental security.

The future: Personal headphones at arenas then with a choice of 10 mixes or take the risk of a fart in your ears for 2 hours that you paid top dollar for.

I had a friend who saw Bob Dylan mid 2000 something from side seating,a big show at vector and he said it was a fuzzy distorted mess with painful bass frequencies and a fuzzed out vocal. I said to him, “Now you know how the Free Trade Hall in Manchester audience felt.”
Seriously the sound physics of that hall need to be rectified. Bad sound sucks.

I think treasury needs to move to Auckland. It needs to be louder and staffed with a higher standard of worker.
Economics is a lot clearer than even ten years ago. The GEC shone so much light into the bullshit of moving money around for the sake of short-term profit. We need adults with qualifications to expose money stupidity from the right.
George Bush called it voodoo economics for a reason.

We may have the silliest and dirtiest Government in the Murdoch speaking world.

1 bedroom demand is driven by an abundance of poor single citizens. It’s a social change. Apartments are logical. One bedroom houses are very scarce, but as you say it’s less about the waiting list and more a subversive way to shrink the state's helping hand.,A ladder pulling from John and Paula, ironically from our past state house user citizens in government, nice , thanks guys for the amazing hypocrisy.

National always start the term with some weird shit, like mining Great Barrier Island. They want to get away with it but if it gets too negative, the stop and can it and spin it as reinforcing their supposed centrist sympathies.
It's just nasty politics. They want people begging for accommodation supplements like they have done with employment benefits. They want to scare the users into not using. The only job growth I've seen recently is security guards at WINZ. That's the legacy of the idiot Paula Bennett , a horrible change to our social service environment. Hypocrite too, if you have ever followed her career path, given she owes her success to a much milder benefit environment.
Also the Auckland affordable housing market will not be helped by this so for that city the policy is a fucking joke.
