Another Chris Bishop backdown on urban intensification is another punch in Auckland’s face
Another rollback on Auckland’s housing future has reignited tensions between local planning and central control, with Housing Minister Chris Bishop accused of gutting urban intensification just as the city tries to cope with rapid population growth.
Before Luxon executed him, Chris Bishop’s backdown on urban intensification is another punch in Auckland’s face…
Auckland housing plan cut again – from 2 million to 1.6 million to 1.4 million
The Government has again cut the number of new homes potentially enabled by Auckland Council plan changes, this time reducing the minimum number of homes enabled by the plan to 1.4 million.

Local control — until Auckland actually uses it
…isn’t it amazing how National scream about decentralisation and howl local except when it’s the largest SuperCity in the country making up its own mind?
It amazes me that Central Government opens the mass migration floodgates, Auckland deals with that massive increase in population with gridlock and when we try to build ourselves out of the mass population pressures Central Government have created for us, they cut it from two million to 1.4 million houses!
This is class war — and Auckland is losing
All because rich fucks in Auckland electorates are terrified their neighbours will betray them, sell their property and get towered over.
The fears of Rich fucks knowing their neighbours will betray them for development and being able to have the political muscle to stall Auckland’s own growth plans is class war at its most obvious.
Yes but the CoC have no problem destroying our neighborhoods with those ugly high-rise duplexes towering over our homes ,effecting the sun coming into our homes and our privacy. Bishop has let intensfication ruin some of or Hutt Valley communities he doesn’t care about our electorate. He forced Kainga Ora to sell land and homes to built cheaper smaller box houses, and no one wants to buy these ugly box homes. Bishop and the CoC are pandering to the rich but don’t give a fuck about the rest of us.
