Property Investors.

Diane from Pukekohe

Just to let everyone know that these money grabbing people are still operating, in Botany at present.
We went and had a look at a three bedroom house today, on a very small section, that was auctioned a couple of weeks ago, in Dairyland Drive. When I asked the agent what price had it been passed in at auction, I thought it hadn't sold, as it was listed the next day with a "by negotiation" on it, he said it had been sold at auction for one million and eighty thousand, bought by an investor, who then put it straight back on to the market, and was wanting around one million, two hundred thousand for it.
Not a thing had been done to it, and it needed new paint and wallpaper, and landscaping. So for the politicians to say it is not the Chinese investors putting the prices up, that is a load of bull, this is just one example of it happening, and it is about time that one party had the guts to say enough!!!!!!!!, this is what is making it so hard for born and bred N.Z.ers to be able to buy a home, and I for one will vote for that party if it ever happens, and I won't hold my breath!!!!!!

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
