TRENDING TOPICS

A selection of the best comments on the topical subjects on Otago Daily Times social media platforms.

George St changes

Perhaps prepare the space in a way so that in the future a tram line could be installed, if needed? — Daniel Schminke

Wide support for an upgrade, accessibility for pedestrians and ability for road users to share the street. But no mention of support for converting it to a oneway. The DCC won’t be able to change tack now. — John Strachan

Covid19 income relief

Plenty of jobs fruit picking. — Allen Newby

Tons of work out there for people really looking for work. — Martin Visser

Agent’s building report claims

Why does each buyer have to get it done separately when the owners or the real estate agents could have it done once and present a copy with the rest of the paper work? I guess the building inspector gets paid each time — Carl Te Namu

The mention of going after the guy for bringing the industry into disrepute after going public with this is a good way to gauge the legitimacy of his claims. — Ricardo Martin

This seems pretty normal nowadays? At least, in our dealings with real estate agents. We have been told directly that if we put conditions in — finance, builder’s report etc — that we won’t get the house because someone else will put in an unconditional offer. And we have missed out on every house we have gone for based on this. — Katie Burns
