Where I live in Auckland people in high places are putting up high rises to house the homeless and first home owners.
In short, many apartments are being built. What that means is that Housing NZ homes like mine are being demolished with the gardens and new apartments are being built. The people in our village have now been told, and places with gardens are very few, plus those places will soon be demolished anyway.
There has been many tears shed and several like me live off our vegetables in the garden.
I don’t much like apartments. I was in one where gun shots were fired..yes it happens in New Zealand. A man kept beating up women and all types of awful things go on. I felt unsafe. There are no gardens and sometimes there are not enough car parks…
So I told these authorities that I would be prepared to travel to Hamilton south of Auckland if I could get a garden there. There is a possibility of getting a place in Hamilton is good. So we will soon be moving..if a garden is available in Auckland we will take it but it is very unlikely.
Looks like like we will be going.Will see what happens and this will happen soon.

Unfortunately, such things happen everywhere. I hope you find a nice place with a garden! The photo is beautiful.
So sorry. We live in a very small town. We take care of our own. No one remains homeless here.
That is great to hear Ghostwriter, I am happy for the people of your small town.
Too bad you have to move. We also have m much crime that goes unnoticed. And homelessness continues.
Yes, it is sad. For what I see it is an ever decreasing cycle, some of the homeless are not responsible for their situation but for others they were made homeless because they behaved very badly, threatened to kill other tenants and even robbed their neighbours, some have gone to jail.
they have drug and alcohol problems and completely warped. No way do they ever want to change.
i wish I could say no to both, but the answer is sadly yes.
I am sorry you are being forced to relocate Pam.
Not only me but there are 15 people here and we are a tight knit community in a village.
All going in different directions…
Thanks Do for your concern, all things work together for the good but it takes time and patience to work it out.
we are a community, we have to take care of each other!
i am so sorry, that just has to add massive stress.
Not at all Doc I appreciate your comments and kind thoughts…I want to take care of people and will always do my best.
In my opinion it is always good for your soul and wellbeing to take care of others.
Stress is a normal part of life we all go through and it soon passes.
i am glad you are handling sounds very stressful
There are also many here. But there is also a very interesting option for homeless beggars. Always most of them go out to beg when there are many tourists. I hope you find a house with a garden.
Thanks there is a possibility of gaining one in Hamilton but I must do research first.
Thanks so much Elenka…
We are no exception here too, dear Pamela … we have many homeless people
Yes, such a shame it is world wide…I will not be homeless and be well cared for what ever decision on where to live is going to be.
A lot of these homeless in NZ are homeless because of drugs & alcohol dependence & criminal behaviour.
Not all of the homeless here are like that though.
I hope you are happy with your options.
Yes, the landlords are saying to everyone here, Hurry Hurry Hurry. But cagey about giving answers.
So I am carefully doing my best to investigate first.
