F-U Auckland house prices

[AllanB]

Rant. Should have saved it for Friday?

Auckland house prices.

Sick of hearing about them.

Yes they are mental - stop fucking paying those prices and lo and behold they will drop.


OK - you are probably sick of hearing about Christchurch earthquakes. But I moved out of Christchurch (just ) so bla bla bla to you.


There is no real solution to either - both cost too much and have a huge social toll.

[Swoop]

Jealous? Much?

Fuck Auckland, sold up our house in pakaranga on a small section and moved to Waikato 10 yrs ago, we have just bought our third , four bedroom house in the area, and now have over ten acres land to our names, glad we moved out, Don't regret leaving at all,

[Voltaire]

10 acres...I can barely look after 700 sq metres.

[AllanB]

Jealous? Much?

Haha - fair call - I'd ask a mill if my house was in Auckland

[sidecar bob]

is there a law that you have to live in Auckland? Buy a house in wanganui for 70k & stop your fuckin whinging.

[Gremlin]

I bet if the media starts reporting that prices are falling, houses aren't selling, it would probably fucken help!

But where's the fun in that Let's keep reporting panic, so everyone does...

I would buy a house for 70k in Wanganui, but the benefit wouldn't pay enough to cover the mortgage

Asians have to live somewhere, and as they are the only ones who can afford to live in Auckland, I think we should just let the place alone to run out of control...put a fence around it with 24/7 camera feed so we can watch.

Dear bitching moaning Aucklanders,

No one is forcing you to live in New Zealand's shittiest city. If you find house prices so unpalatable, move somewhere else and quit you fucking whinging.

Regards,

The rest of us

Dear cunts from Tauranga.

Get fucked.

If your selling in Auckland you should still have a mill to retire on.

ow much?
only a mill? come on. this is my retirement fund.

then i can retire to the cheaper countryside.

down side is rates are linked to house price - cunning way of boosting rates without doing anything, give everyones house evaluation a boost. And no one complained.

[Madness]

Sorry

No need to apologise.

What happens when all us less-than-Bobs-age whiteys fuck off from Auckland and move to Wanganui for a life on ACC and smoking synthetics?

I'll tell ya.

Eventually, the quarter of a million or so immigrants with multiple degrees currently living in Auckland and driving taxi's, gas station tills or flipping halal burgers - or a combination of all three - will fill the jobs vacated by those Kiwis leaving. More immigrants come in because we'll need to keep the manufactured inflation going and before you know it Auckland will become even more like District 9, if that is actually possible. Despite Motu's assertion that a bit of Number 8 wire will keep the circus at bay, I doubt it and I don't think this is a good thing for New Zealand.

I'm starting to think there should be an Auckland Tax, payable by all those living outside Auckland. Seems legit. Sponsor a Jafa family today!

Fwiw I live about 400km from Wanganui, but I visit there often & it's certainly on the short list of places I'd happily retire to.
Is also a thriving happy community & I have yet to meet my first synthetic smoker there, although I'm sure it probably has no less per capita than Auckland, but I don't go out of my way to hang out with drop kick losers so I'm a little sheltered from that section of society by choice.
I'm sure acc bludgers are everywhere too, & not just concentrated to wanganui .
