Housing MInister Chris Bishop sets 'long-term' price target of three to five times household incomes

Markus from Green Bay

I VERY much doubt the economic competence of the new government. First Seymour wants to move massive amounts of money from poor to rich, now Bishop lives in cloud kuckoo land. Median income is $66,200 per year in 2023, so 50% earn less, 50% more (sometimes MUCH more). 3-5 times of that is … View moreI VERY much doubt the economic competence of the new government. First Seymour wants to move massive amounts of money from poor to rich, now Bishop lives in cloud kuckoo land. Median income is $66,200 per year in 2023, so 50% earn less, 50% more (sometimes MUCH more). 3-5 times of that is $200,000-330,000. Even if they decide to give the land away for free you can’t build a house for that. And Bishop MUST know that. If they assume two full earners (aka the better off ones) it’s $400,000-660,000 for a house (including land) - which developer can provide that? So the government would need to build the houses - massively subsidised by the tax payer … which they don’t want to do.

So HOW can Bishop spout such nonsense???

From mortgages.co.nz...

In October 2023, BNZ published a report comparing New Zealand’s median section price, plus consented new-build cost, with the median price for an existing home each year. Using these median values, it has nearly always been more expensive to build, except for 2021-2022 when existing house prices rose sharply before falling again. As median building costs continued to rise into 2023 and 2024, building became significantly more expensive than buying an existing home.

Really large travel crate would suit any large dog. 950 high x 670 wide x 1200 long

I painted it white (undercoat!) for two reasons...

1. - if the crate is left sitting on the tarmac it wont get too hot as white reflects heat.

2- I wanted to get Fred used to hanging out in the crate before we left so I was going to have it inside and wanted it to look half reasonable in my lounge.
It is suitable to take your dog overseas as it adheres to Airline standards. Or you could just use it as a crate for your dog to hang out in.

Pick up is Morningside Drive, Morningside / Sandringham or if you are close by, I could possibly deliver.

Price: $180

Please follow our top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft:
✉️ Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
✉️ Put a hold on your mail delivery if you’re going away
✉️ Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
✉️ Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or front of property
✉️ Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
✉️ Send parcels to a work address or ensuring you're home when they arrive
✉️ Contact Police (111 for immediate issues or 105 if it is after the fact) if you see people loitering around vehicles or looking into car windows
✉️ Engage in neighbourhood groups so more people can keep an eye out for suspicious activity

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later

“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."

“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."
