Mine too... but hey, healthier homes n all that, less visits to doctors and hospitals etc... shame the aluminium widows let the whole idea down. Maybe they'll subsidise windows next time

Still a gain in insulation so not wasted

The resources are not there.
There are simply not enough tradesmen in this country.

Why are you asking me?
It wasn't my program.


So we have 10,000 quickbuild houses lying around, just in case?
You are such a child.

What ?

do you even know what a quickbuild is or even what kind of shelters they are using here

you have that stuff sitting at around waiting to be exported , The houses are designed for a max of two to three years and are rough as a bears bum ( quick builds are prefabs )

basically its a plywood hut , with amenities.

While it may not be stacked in one corner of the country , Im quite sure you ( if you scrounged a round ) could find enough for a few hundred or at the very least one family with kids

fk me even I lived in the military camp in Riccarton for a few months back in the 70s till we found a flat , wooden hut split down the middle .. 2 families one room each ...

but then as a child the romance still shines

No need - last check I did a year ago. There are 250 relocatable homes up for sale in NZ. Most up on blocks in a train yard somewhere.

Thank you.
250
Not 10,000, just in case we have an earthquake.

You did notice the bit where he said FOR SALE? Perhaps you noticed the bit where he said RELOCATABLE HOMES? Perhaps prefab and relocatable homes aren't the same thing. Amazing that they used container for offices and shops down there yet can't be arsed using them for temporary housing?

So with all of these prisoners in jail and unemployed etc... you would think that there would have been a course on building prefabs eh? Prefabs that you could store for times when they are needed. Yet we have 0 prefabs and 250 relocatable homes. It highlights yet another issue of how prepared NZ is for things that go bump.

That's the sign of a set of proactive governments over the years

No really on topic though is it?
No suprise there - you have the concentration span of a gnat.

I'll assume that since you haven't addressed the original point (that using the housing shortage in Chch to illustrate a national economic debate is silly), that you having nothing to add (as usual).

Notwithstanding that, if the Govt. had prisoners building prefab housing, it would surely breach some UN agreement on human rights, and would have the left wing nutters (such as your good self) up in arms.

The big thing i noticed was how a lot of people sat around waiting for help, some still are.

It's a large part of the reason the lady with 3 kids are living in tents, so it's on topic.


Of course it isn't silly. You claim that the earthquake is the problem, I highlighted that it would take 50 builders 200 days to put up 10,000 prefabs therefore covering everyone that had issues. Yet we're down to at least 1 person and nothing has been done.

Earth to Oscar, Earth to Oscar, how do prisoners currently earn $ whilst locked up?

Just more of your short-sighted out of sight out of mind nonsense shining through there. I'm not sure why you even bother anymore.

Do ya reckon they've asked and been told that they're on a list? S'ok though, while they wait they can go and shelter in the cardboard church mebee, or perhaps the stadium is finished by now?

Having proved that you were an idiot some time ago, you don't need to constantly reiterate your stupidity - I get it.
So bearing in mind your slow-wittedness, I'll type this slowly - Go back and study the thread: What is the topic? I know that staying on topic challenges you, but work with me. Now tell me why using the un-housed in a recently earthquake hit city to prove that there's a housing shortage throughout the country is dishonest reporting.

See? Easy wasn't it?

As for your other stupidity, as an unhinged lefty you should be aware of the problem of getting prisoners to actual work (i.e. build meaningfull stuff).
It takes jobs from other workers whilst paying very low wages.
This causes the unions to get very upset.

Feel free to go off on another meaningless tangent, now....

You took it off to ChCh in post #36

No different to P.D work, maybe it'd pay for the $30K+ it costs to keep them in the holiday camps anyhow instead of the tax payer having to front the bill all the time.
Bit like the CPIT doing big advertising push for peeps to learn trade skills to help with the ChCh rebuild, thats just a push for legitimised cheap labour, what are they going to do flood the market with builders then once the rebuild settles down to normal levels again the majority of those people will be without work and back as stats on the unemployment

Feel free to go off on another meaningless tangent, now....

way you go

Who knows but If that had been me I would have either moved, built something temp or moved.
The other question was were they {the ones in the tent} insured? (i never watched the program) as ;
1) my insurance will pay for temp accommodation, why didn't theirs?,
2) if not then they are entitled to nothing as they have not contributed to EQC so should be happy for anything they get.

Of course I do, because you obviously don't.
The topic is the programme and the contents of. An un-housed woman was on the programme, who is STILL homeless after the Chch quakes. No one is talking about dishonest reporting other than yourself and those who prefer the propaganda style of analysis after watching 5 minutes (you did say you only made it to 5 minutes right?) v's those who watched it and formed opinions/thoughts based on the content.

it would have been if any of your "logic" actually made any form of contextual sense.

I am aware of the issue, however as no prefabs exist etc... there is a gap in the "market" as no one else is doing this, so why would anyone kick up such a fuss other than right whinge monacle visioned sheeple like yourself? If you had the ability to apply lateral and critical thinking, you wouldn't be so ignorant to post the likes of the above. Fortunately you don't, which, if nothing else, helps with my education, ta.

S'ok, you're doing that enough all on yer lonesome old chap.
