In Rotorua on Gem Street, Kāinga Ora is building new houses. In Rotorua on Gem St, neighbours are not altogether all good with this.
They are saying, for example:
It’s been set up to fail
by which they mean putting 10 two-storey homes where four houses once stood may be too much of a squash for everyone to live in harmony, what with the impinging on privacy and the insufficient parking that might see overflow onto lawns and footpaths, and will Kāinga Ora be able to manage tenants’ bad behaviour?
