Even Papakura is many levels above what Manurewa has become.

Thats a shame....

The feckless hippies and llama botherers still have not overpowered the semi skilled muso's, artistes and retired circus freaks in Raumati South and the stupidly wealthy still hold the line in the coastal properties so we are 'all good' bro...

Althougth there was some nervous bearded halfwit twittering into his 'mobile device' at the cafe last weekend so I fear the end of days is apon us... The Hipsters have arrived... bleugh....

The two place are very much the same, I think Murupara has it over Moerewa when it comes to drugs though.

It's funny, there are area's of South Auckland (like The Gardens and parts of Alfriston) that are very nice, with very high end houses and well to do people and then there are places like Clendon, and other parts of Manurewa equally as bad. Some of the people I have seen/met in parts of manurewa are genuinely worse than animals. The problem is, that those people are breeding (cause we keep paying them to do so) and as such are becoming a greater proportion of the population. And FWIW...I'm not racist, I dislike all uncouth scum, regardless of race, gender or age, equally. It's just a genuine pity that South Auckland is so badly biased towards certain cultures and nationalities.

Don't ever give money to beggars if they are even slightly overweight, and if they are a little thin on it give them food. Problem is the thin ones don't want food.

Murupara, Moerewa, Manurewa - hey there's a pattern!!!

What gets me is they say "for a train fare" or "for the bus". yeah right. How many people do they scab off in order to get enough for a can (probably not enough for a tinny from the local though).

There's even been a surge of untalented "buskers" who have sprung up blowing and sucking raucously on harmonicas and strumming out of tune guitars; but at least they're trying to provide 'something' for the charity they're getting. Not to mention the car window washers still operating...

Pffft. I had to wait a full 5 minutes for a Latte in Remuera the other day.

anyway. have a bit of fun, if you see them coming up, ask them for two dollars, before they can ask you... it's funnier in a suit, but it's still funny if you're not...

I'm with Z. There is a bunch of stuff here and I believe that "capitalism" is a symptom not a cause.

Yeah, like we don't want your sort down here.

I would vote to cut the cable but then we would be stuck with all those Cantabrians, the JAFA's of the south island.
