Medium density in the suburbs. Is it good or bad?

Reporter Community News

Hi Neighbourly folk, we are looking for some help for a story on medium density housing.
Where are the suburbs and parts of Wellington, the Hutt, Porirua and beyond where there has been medium density done? Where it was done well, and not so well? Where might the opportunities be? Who are the people in your area agitating for and against?
Please contact Rob Mitchell on 027 573 3956 or at rob.mitchell@stuff.co.nz.
Please put NFP if you do not want your comments used by Stuff.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
