Council selling stake in "Own Your Own Home" pensioner housing

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

Back in March, the Kaipātiki Local Board voted against the sale of council's portion of vacant "Own Your Own Home" pensioner housing and land, including some of the houses at the pensioner housing at John Bracken Way, Beach Haven (indicated in red in the attached map - the others … View moreBack in March, the Kaipātiki Local Board voted against the sale of council's portion of vacant "Own Your Own Home" pensioner housing and land, including some of the houses at the pensioner housing at John Bracken Way, Beach Haven (indicated in red in the attached map - the others are run by Haumaru Housing).
The Devonport-Takapuna Local Board passed a similar resolution opposing the sale of Council's stake in "Own Your Own Home" housing at Bardia Street and Bayswater Ave, and Danielle Grant and Ruth Jackson spoke to the Auckland Council Finance Committee on behalf of both local boards.
Despite this, the Finance Committee voted in favour of the sale at a closed-door meeting. 😠
While the confidentiality of this vote has now lifted, the voting record of each councillor isn't yet available. We also do not know who will be buying council's share in the houses and land.

NZ Herald article: www.nzherald.co.nz...

The "Own Your Own Home" scheme gave older people the chance to buy flats in small pensioner villages around Auckland at an affordable price, with council owning and give them the security of a life-long roof over their head. If they move to other housing, or pass away, council re-purchases them and then sells them again.
Despite the housing crisis, many units have been left vacant and un-maintained for years, setting the scene for their sale.

It is not known what will now happen with the houses, however council has stated that no current owners will be affected, only when the owners pass away or sell.

Attached is the resolution of the Kaipātiki Local Board, and a map of the affected houses at John Bracken Way, Beach Haven.

According to studies, taking a warm shower every night will help you fall asleep faster.
Showering often re-regulates our bodies' flowing motion and aids in the stabilization of our body temperature. It allows us to cool down and relax after a long and exhausting day. Showering or bathing before bedtime has several important sleep-promoting benefits:

Showers help you relax both physically and emotionally. A warm bath or shower always makes you feel better. It's easier to sleep when you're less anxious.

Showers are cleansing. When you go into bed clean, you will not only feel less stressed, but you will also avoid carrying any dirt, oils, or allergies into the bed with you. This is beneficial to both your skin and your mattress.

Showers require you to unplug. You can't watch TV or check Facebook on your phone while showering (unless you want to harm your technology). Even if just for a few minutes, your mind needs to disconnect. Including a shower in your evening regimen helps you move from your active daytime mode to relaxation and sleep mode.
