Housing Desperate In Auckland
“Provision for housing in Auckland will not be enough to meet the needs of unchecked immigrant arrivals there,” said New Zealand First Housing spokesperson Brent Catchpole.
Mr Catchpole was speaking in Parliament during the Budget Debate.
He said, that the open-door, unchecked immigration policy of the Government, continued to outstrip all the efforts to cater for Auckland’s housing needs.
“The increasing pressure and demand in Auckland places huge demands on the housing stock of Housing New Zealand, and flows over into rental properties, pushing up both the cost and rental of houses,” he told the House.
