Where did all the waterbeds go?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

Neighbours unhappy over city site that looks 'like the day after the earthquake

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Businessman, property investor and accountant Laurie Rose’s adjoining quake-damaged buildings – two of the heritage Duncan’s buildings in lower High St – were demolished in 2017.

The property now contains building debris including pieces of metal, broken concrete and bricks, plus 2 metre-high weeds behind chain-link fencing. Rose said he was sympathetic to the neighbours’ concerns, but was stuck in an insurance battle and would not spend any money on the site in the meantime - despite neighbours offering to help him clean the site up.

Do you think more should be done to get owners of vacant sites to tidy them up and/or develop them? Read the full story here and tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
