So a bunch of people complain about social housing in Millwater and Kainga Ora backtracks on their proposal. When residents of Avondale and Mt Albert voice concerns about social housing in their neighbourhoods Kainga Ora doesn't care as much

I'm a kainga ora resident. I Live on a street full. Only two of us: Me and my left-hand neighbor, take pride in our homes. I spend time and money maintaining the property because KO have basically left us to rot.

Pipes have burst and flooded out my home a total of seven times in three years. Mould, damp and gross unless I Spend a fortune in power to keep it dry and warm.

I have no choice though. Single mum, i don't drink or smoke just sick of being treated like the rest of the horis around.

I could shove my kids in daycare 12 hours and work minimum wage but I wouldn't afford rent. We need social housing but so many mongrels that ruin it for us good guys. Poor and brown yes but I'm still a good neighbor.
