Rental property available for flatmates at 20 Regia Close, Half Moon Bay, Auckland - Qiubo (David) Su
(update again - I have been switching my decision between renting and not renting from time to time, making people confused and hard to understand. One very important reason of swapping decision in between is that the situation in my place is quite special, very different from other property renting scenarios - as a never married single male, having been independently developing my own Tech business and its products under the same roof, trying to keep it secret, private to others, including my flatmates when they flatted in my place before, all these make my place quite special. I do like to rent out the available empty rooms, but it is difficult for me to find suitable flatmates who can fit under this special situation. As said many times before, developing my own Tech business and its products is more important to me than renting out the empty rooms, so if I couldn't find the suitable flatmates, I would have to sacrifice to lose the rental income. As a single never married male, I don't want to have flatmates who're couple or a family, while I prefer to have individual single male flatmates, and this has been the best renting mode for me in the past. However, all these single male flatmates were so curious to know about my Tech business and its product development, while I just didn't want to let them know any. This problem has been between us when these single male flatmates lived in my place before.
So theoretically, the best solution is to fortunately have the single male flatmates who're in the very similar situation as mine - the single independent Tech startup entrepreneur, and who're looking for a place to stay, an office to work on the development of their own Tech business and products. I have already prepared for this kind of arrangement a few years ago - apart from the WiFi Internet connection, each bedroom having the faster wired Internet connection (unlimited Business Fibre broadband Internet 900/450Mbps), each bedroom having the Freeview TV channels connector, a good place for living and developing Tech business and products.
For better privacy and security when doing online research activities, recently I further enhanced the VPN system I configured, setup before, increasing its Internet connection speed for a few times, and still hosted it in the VM (virtual machine) of mine being deployed to the remote public Cloud Computing platform. Every flatmate living in my place can share this VPN system connection. Online research privacy and security has always been my concern and I believe it is the concern for almost all the Tech business developers.
If there is any single male in the very similar situation as mine, looking for a place to stay and develop their own Tech business, wanting their online research activities to be private and secure, with a very similar mindset and mentality, please let me know. Thank you very much.
I'm sorry if this message makes some people uncomfortable. The "VPN + single male Tech entrepreneur flatmates" is solution I just think of to resolve the issue of how to rent out those available empty rooms and to have the right flatmates fitting the situation in my place)
(update - due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, I'd like to make a good decision now, i.e. I'm going to stay in my own place by myself alone for the next few years until the Covid-19 pandemic goes to an end, taking this as a good opportunity to continuously concentrate on developing my own Tech business and its products. Please ignore this property renting advertisement of mine. Thank you very much for your time and attention, and sorry for disappointing those who have been interested with my property)

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
