    When gummint stepped aside enabling better functioning from clued up business leaders – they were put in charge of trade and skills trading so that they with their superior understandings of what the country needed,
    would always have what was needed and good for business! The trouble is that tends to be staying close to
    the edge, with just the smallest space for the unexpected.

    One matter should be the look of a place, taking in colour. Grim is the effect when public housing or group housing is painted grey, black, charcoal, any dark colour, but of course not red instead.

    And why cannot the space around that is required, be widened for each extra floor? In Nelson for ordinary housing there is now no concern for cutting out sunlight to surrounding places, and no demand for parking areas for residents or visitors. Everything is now done as if we are recovering from the depredations of a
    war. The last decades have not been times of peace and happiness for sure. Luxon wouldn’t have seen just how it was for ordinary people, personally. As an investor he thought it fine.

  3. This is an excerpt from a review on one of Alan Duff’s books written in 2019 – A Conversation with my Country

    Returned from living in France, he views his country with fresh eyes, as it is now: homing in on the crises in parenting, our prisons, education and welfare systems, and a growing culture of entitlement that entraps Pakeha and Maori alike.

    Any opinions about the entitlement thing by both Pakeha and Maori.? I feel it’s true.
