Housing affordability critical under Labour - Wainuiguy - 19-02-2022

Housing will be one of the key issues next election - their record on housing, something they campaigned on to correct,  has been the worst of any government in NZ history.
Homelessness has spiked massively - and already was spiking BEFORE the pandemic.
Housing waiting lists are now 400% more than in 2017 and again has doubled prior to the pandemic.

if it was national, no-one would qualify for a waiting list

Couldn't even roll out the 9 years of neglect?
Sewage running down the walls?  
I know it is hard to defend Labour's record on housing.

well to be fair you start every post with  but, but, but, Labour
If you attacked national all the time I would probably be standing up for them too.

Just a bit? A smidge?

No?

There's no doubt that the housing situation is just dire; but blaming either Labour or National is far from fair because both are responsible. Its been allowed to grow far worse than it needed to & is therefore not likely to be fixed quickly - it will surely take years.
