What do you think about helping people into homes this way?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

With home ownership slipping further out of reach for many, Bridge Housing Trust has stepped up as a de facto Bank of Mum and Dad.

The housing charity is in its early years but delivered 40 affordable homes last year and wants to double that in 2025.

The trust, chaired by Perry, is donating the 1800m² land, valued at $4 million, and investing another $16m to build a complex of 42 affordable apartments, Hinemoa, in Hamilton’s CBD.

Poll: Are domestic flights with Air NZ out of your budget?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.

Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?

🧐 Alright, Brainiacs—Who’s Up for a Challenge? 👀

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I know all the secrets, I hear every tale;
I’m where neighbours gather, no detail is stale;
I’m not alive, but I bring news to light—
in the morning, at noon, or late at night—
What am I?
