Parts of Papakura are pretty rough. We rented in Sheehan Ave back in the mid 80's for a couple of years. Drove down there a while ago for a trip down memory lane. More like Nightmare on Elm Street. The main drag is quite nice though and definitely preferable to the equivalent stretch of the Great South Road running through Manure-wa.

Don't worry, with the new development proposals mooted, we can have hi-rise level slums now! 8 level apartment blocks for Manuwera, whee doggy! Now the crap can extend upwards and makes it more riskier for the services to attend to any mayhem!

Auckland already has hi-rise slums. Look at the buildings on the corner of Queen St & Mayoral Dr as a prime example. This development has a "mandated" state housing requirement of xx% apartments being for state tenants.Don't worry, with the new development proposals mooted, we can have hi-rise level slums now! 8 level apartment blocks for Manuwera, whee doggy!

It also doesn't have air conditionining, meaning the windows have to open to all the lovely noise of the city at night... while residents are trying to sleep, in the heat.

Well in Manure-wa, this nice vision will really increase the idea of a dystopian paradise - the only hi-rise apartments is one in Manukau city so far, but that is a relatively well managed affair. Multiply that and fill it with the usual oiks in the area and it will truly become wretched hives of scum and villains!Auckland already has hi-rise slums.

So, a little bit like The Nautilus apartment block in Orewa? Just filled with oldies in "god's waiting room".

My parents used to lease the shop across the rd from Grey Lynn primary school around 1970-71.
About when the PI people started flooding into the area,,,mostly nice people back then to.
Shortly after that I shared a house in Ponsonby with a group of students,bikies an general drop kicks.
Cost us $30 a week and if you didn't want to chip in that week you didn't be home on thursday night when the landlord dropped in to pick up the rent.
It's changed a bit since then but still high rents.

More like the projects in "the Wire" - breeding space for consumers of recreational chemicals.

Well, down here, we had a spate of youths crossing the main street and not using the pedestrian crossing a couple of months ago!!!
It's just not the same place it was in my day...it's the thin end of the wedge people...
