No one listening to housing solution
Andstill, the problem of housing lifts its ugly head.
Ihave tried several times to get people to listen - tono avail. There are not morethan ahandful of houses in Rotorua worth morethan $500,000, most are worth just a fraction of that.
Council houses in Great Britain are better built, warmer, and need less maintenance. The prices being asked are ridiculous, thiscomes from governments over the years allowing the awful practice to continue selling houses/homes as
commodities.
Nogovernment will ever succeed in curing the housing problem until they face upto the facts and stop the multiple ownership of houses.
There has to be a government-controlled letting agency that reflects the proper value of ahouse. Until then this housing crisis will continue to get worse.

Whyshouldwebe targeted?
For the second time this year, the “old kiosk” in Kuirau Park has been or attempted to be broken into.
The first time therewasdamage to the doors of “Fort Knox”, the second time, this week, they succeeded in smashing through woodand glass.
The Friends of the Rotorua Library hold their twice monthly sale of books and magazines in the building. All proceeds go to the Rotorua Library, and with their creative activities, it flows onto the Rotorua Community.
Our volunteers are (let’s say) all of the older age group, whohave a love of books and reading and work hard to keep raising funds for the library.
Whyshouldwebe targeted? I am sure it was not for the reading material!!! or a bed for the night on uncomfortable concrete floors. The homeless already have comfortable
accommodation provided. It is mindless vandalism.

Just a joke
If motorists wish to complain about traffic on Te Ngae Rd, just take a trip to themount. For the past eight years or more, your welcome has been red cones formany kilometres.
Whenyou reach the roundabout into Bayfair it’s just a joke, eight years trying to get it right, and still red cones and a poor guy in a red jacket, he might as well be Santa Claus looking dejected in themiddle of it all. Alfhoyle
