the fact is we simply can't afford it. The price of living is high enough as it... itf this goes ahead... rates will go up... and then rent goes up... which will effect those on the lower income... I know im not that good at math but I am not that bad.
And if you're a renter, you don't even get to vote in the DCC "poll". It goes to "ratepayers" only, and only one per household (addressed to the person whose name appears first on the rates bill). On that basis, your landlord probably gets several votes......
The DCC have had a barrage of outraged citizens phoning them, asking for their poll paper, but the DCC said they won't issue more as "it might skew the results".
