Dear Phil Goff – let’s cut to the chase, what are you going to do for those Aucklanders with the least?

1. and sell absolutely NOTHING !!!

2. $400,000 is affordable for first-home buyers? In what world is this?

   • In a world with a living wage and free inner and outer link bus transport.

     When people aren’t placed next to moving vehicles. It frees up time and space to be a community , exactly like a car free pedestrian boulevard. Audio visual aid: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8K-pIdc3X4

     Open boulevards worked for Melbourne and New York, it can work for us to. To create spontaneous community get togethers. And bring us closer together instead of further appart

3. None of the above. He’s one of the clique that ruined this country. Can’t see the leopard changing his spots.

4. No to number two.

   I’ve no attachment to golf but believe the city should retain as much green space as it possibly can, once surrendered it is extremely difficult to reclaim.
   Serious intensifation of housing density (and urgent redevelopment of any existing stock Bill English leaves us) and encouraging people and industry out of Auckland altogether by regional development are more sustainable solutions.

5. Ah ?

   @ Martyn Bradbury ? Have you read John Minto’s telling Post above ?

   As for ” -A digital strategy to promote Auckland culture ”

   What might that be ? An electric chair to incinerate its greed culture first ?

   Or perhaps one of these ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z86V_ICUCD4

   When one ponders the ghastly fact that NZ’s economy’s generated on the South Island and of that , predominantly in the lower half of the South Island, where one can buy a house and a quarter acre for less than a high milage 1989 Toyota corolla without a tow bar but will have an AM push button radio ( You think I’m kidding right? ) ?
   Since NZ’s economy’s earned way down here a bouts ? Why are there so many grasping and desperate people climbing over each other in Auckland?

   If paula bennett and roger douglas had a baby ? You’d get a gap toothed jonky.

6. Rates-incentives on independent shops and eateries, not applicable to chains and/or multinats.

   Pollution-tax funded waterway and wetland protection/enhancement.

   Fair per-household allowance of rate-funded water, metered over that amount, high-user industries funding regular cleanliness audits.

   Solar-uptake incentives for new and existing development.

   Community authority on liquor outlets and licenses.

   Ban on outdoor advertising and junk mail.

7. Oh dearie me, Bradders! You seem to have gone the way of your brother Ray (who writes very good science-fiction by the way)…

   You’re not preparing yourself for a career change are you? 🙂

8. …Phil gives me the ‘more of the same’ feeling…

9. Ahem, we do not want to “upset” our dear ratepayers, and we must always be “mindful” of who runs businesses and pays our workers, and yes, we should be careful and not upset them, as “gratitude” is more appropriate, for what we have already. Also most Aucklanders are determined motorists, and like their cars, do not attack them too harshly please.

   Do not expect too much from Phil, he first has to gain votes, and that is among the ones that bother voting, mostly those with vested interests, as most others are always feeling bypassed and ignored.

   So draw your humble conclusions, Phil will run a city more along the same lines as it has been under Len. The only difference is he is a family man who seems little tempted to try out some adventures, and upset his wife and family.

   Also add the nice image of a smiling face, who has been on many election posters before, and one who has been holding the Mt Rosill electorate for many years.

   Stability and low risk plans, that is what Phil will be all about, little else, I think.
