Ardern says "children themselves told us during the consultation on the strategy that going to school hungry was a barrier to their learning."

This results in a spike in short term rentals in suburban areas, and it's leading to rent increases across the board. There have also been complaints from residents who live among these homes, with one describing it as "three years of hell" due to excessive drinking and partying from guests.
