    Core government debt is now an astonising $166 Billion. Robbo is borrowing like there is no tomorrow so he can spray cash around in the form of hand-outs, voter bribes, and 'delivering for' certain important groups.

    Affordable housing agency Kāinga Ora bids up Ferncliffe Farms price on inflated valuations
    1 Aug, 2022 05:00 AM

    State housing agency Kāinga Ora was only cosmetically restricted to market pricing in its surprisingly rich, winning bid of $70.4m for a rural Tauranga tract of land, Ferncliffe Farms, last year.

    What is 'Smart' about paying over the odds by many millions of dollars? Taxpayers getting shafted again....

    https://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/28192...ield-site.html

    About 1000 more new homes are likely to be built in Tauranga over the coming years due to the acquisition of a 95.3 hectare site by Kāinga Ora.
    Ferncliffe Farm is a greenfield site in the priority-growth area of Tauranga’s Tauriko West.
    The $70.4 million purchase is the first acquisition under the newly created Kāinga Ora Land Programme, set up to lead strategic land acquisitions to enable housing and thriving communities in areas of need.
    Kāinga Ora urban planning and design general manager Katja Lietz says the acquisition will bring much needed housing options to the area.
    “There is high demand for not only market homes, but also affordable and public housing in Tauranga.
    “A site this large, developed by Kāinga Ora and its partners, can provide this mix of housing, meeting the needs of a broad cross-section of the community.”
    Tauriko West is one of five priority development areas in the Western Bay of Plenty under the SmartGrowth urban growth partnership.
    SmartGrowth is a collaboration of local government, tangata whenua, and central government, set up to plan for growth across the Western Bay of Plenty sub-region.

    SmartGrowth chair Peter Winder says the Kāinga Ora acquisition aligns well with the partnership’s strategy.

    “SmartGrowth provides a unified vision, direction and voice for the future of the Western Bay of Plenty as we help develop a great place to live, learn, work and play,” he says.

    Where do you want to stop ? Or do you possibly want to come and live in the real World ?
    Subsidies make prices go down.. granted demand does go up so maybe they cancel out.

    BUT (!) when you consider it's food, rent and feul that is increasing then the theory doesn't stack up.

    A person dies and goes to heaven, they meet St Peter at the pearly gates.
    The person looks up and see's a wall of clock and asks, what are they?
    St Peter says they are the lier person clocks, for every lie the clock moves one minute.
    Whose clock is that asks the person? Oh that's Mother Theresa, her clock never moved.
    And that one asks the person? Oh that's Abraham Lincoln, his clock moved only two minutes.
    What about Ms Aderns clock is it on the wall? No says St Peter it's up there, we use it as a ceiling fan.

    Deduct $60b for the super fund which is solely there due to Labour.

    Yeah.

    It'd be a real b*gger of a thing to have to design, develop, and implement in the given timeframe.

    Actually, I'm actually rather pleased that the government and IRD know so little about people, and are not able to track people's whereabouts particularly thoroughly and comprehensively.

    I think that overall it's a good thing!

    Newt government debt is the all important figure as Labour borrowed money to put into NZ Super.



    You should stick to posting in the wee hours of 3 am and 4 am - when your half nonsense makes some sense to Ardern.

    Remember what they said in 2017?

    Jacinda Ardern - ‘kids living in cars and motels is not a sign of care’.

    Grant Robertson - 'New Zealanders will look on in shame at the fact that there are families living in cars.'

    Guess what?

    The number of people forced to live in cars under Labour has more than quadrupled to 480 in June 2022, from 108 in December 2017.

    Hell of an achievement by Ardern & her bunch of nioncompoops - Hipkins, Wood, Robertson & the spin mistress herself, Jacinda.
