How do you feel about your life in Auckland?
Hi neighbours,
A major survey looking at the quality of life of Aucklanders has found some startling results.
Up to 40 per cent of people in some suburbs said they didn't have enough money to cover everyday items such as food or clothing. And nearly half described their housing costs as unaffordable. To read more, click here.
The survey found:
- Begging to be a big problem in Manurewa
- Rough sleepers were considered to be a big problem in Manurewa and Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
- Drugs and alcohol were considered a problem in West Auckland's Henderson-Massey areas.
So what are your thoughts on the survey and its results? Is it an accurate reflection of what's happening in your community? What community issues would you add to the list?
