Money Talks: New Zealand's homelessness problem getting worse
Vložit

- Homelessness and housing have become two of the biggest issues in the lead up to New Zealand's parliamentary elections. That is because the country has more homeless people per capita than any other developed country in the world. It is being driven by extraordinary house prices, with one in every one hundred Kiwis considered homeless. From New Zealand, Kim Vinnell reports.

Why does New Zealand allow foreigners to buy houses . This is why the prices are so high .
@Joel not China for or Malaysia, or Singapore
@Joel ONLY if you are married to a Muslim in Malaysia
@Joel how is this wrong ? Malaysia has a clear policy .you can't even own a business without a Malay partner.
@Joel So, you can buy property in Singapore and Malaysia as a foreigner if you're not a foreigner?
foreigners have money and nz has debt. pretty simple really. no need to scratch your head about this one
Welcome to the real Nz not those tourism adverts promoting Nz
New Zealand is a beautiful country like most beautiful countries In the world we need to tax China for our water and the wealthy rule.
@@gwendolynbeecroft512 lol if we taxed China they would retaliate and NZ would loose tons of money
We got it in the UK as well it not just you it is what the tourist dont see
The Chinese ain’t buying houses in nz yet prices are still going up. Quit blaming someone else but yourself. Do something about your problems cause ain’t no one gonna do it for you.
@@creamcheese7845 ...so why are there real estate brokers/agencies in China exclusively focused on the NZ (housing) market!?! Under John Key it got even worse, now its including the selling of farms (large 1's), then heavily invested in Dairy, Forestry, Viti/Horticulture, tourism logistics, water sources are being discussed etc...so no, China has NO agenda (doesn't obtain properties) in NZ 😂😇🤣 If you have a close look at the sail from the " te rehutai" you will discover chinese symbols just saying...
This is why I left NZ. I couldn't afford government housing when it went from $295 to almost $500 a fortnight when I was a single parent working part time just to make ends meet and I still struggled. Moving to Australia 23 years ago was one of the best decisions I made. I struggled here at first but nowhere near what I struggled with in NZ. Shame on the government and those greedy politicians who still take from the poor and give to the rich.
My heart goes out to those that are still there struggling to make ends meet.
Wait.....you couldn't afford rent in NZ, so you came to Australia????? WTF? Rent is TWICE that here.
@@Murrangurk2 But aren’t the wages much higher too?
same, I will never go back
@@Murrangurk2 But the minimum wage is higher in Australia than in NZ. And the wages in Australia are better than NZ. And retail items cost less in Australia than they do in NZ. Samsung, iPhone, Microsoft products charge more than the currency conversion and GST in NZ.
@@ALxdCr4ftPlays Yeah but what about living costs. Insurances, levvies, unsubstantiated fees. It all balances out.
Rent and rates are too expensive
Cherry Bomb That may be, yet knowledge is free.
No, kiwis just don’t earn enough.
@@william_coduks Banks don’t accept knowledge as repayments.
Rates rises, push up rents. Councils, have been 'reluctant', to keep up the maintainence on ageing infrastructure. We must grow up - it won't stop the rates rises, though it should reduce homelessness - or is my thinking amiss ?
true and all costs passed onto tenants....
3 years ago this was filmed Now its 2021 and still nothing has changed....
Absolutely it just worsens everyday every month every year and still continues to be the same with no change! Take a look at the many apartments being built today but the bottom line is can mid to lower income earners or beneficiaries afford the rent. The government is not helping the situation, they should not have sold off the housing nz homes in the first place, that's national. Terrible!
Its 2022 and still its getting worse. The govt has a quota of refugees every year. Save our own.
Nothing will change. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This dog eat dog world where only the super rich ruling parties get to play by their own rules and could care less about anyone or anything unless it makes them more money or gives them more power. God was an idiot for making the evil greedy human race. That is why war is the biggest business in the world. Killing is legal if your government masters give you permission. They will just round up all the homeless one day and take them to death camps. We mean nothing to them. We are only worth what it costs to replace us and are just a number to them. Money is all that matters.
No couple days i went back to see my mum i went through southmall now we got people with cups asking for money
ten kids? hell, be responcible. if you can afford to feed and house them- dont have them
My Mum's brother was The head of Housing NZ and he was given a Letter under National that they were getting rid of state housing...
Nothing's Changed Our People are Suffering NZ wide.
Thats exactly what happened with National and state housing.
😲
state housing should be got rid of as it's down to you to provide for yourself and not tax payers...
Work. Work hard. Long if you have too. Provide for yourself and family if you choose. Do not expect others (Taxpayers ) to basically wipe your arse for you .
your uncle?
Thanks Jacinda. That's what you brand of 'kindness' produces. And it's only got worse in the 3 years since this video was made.

The homeless problem was progressively getting worse under National. Those laws keeping them houses vacant doesn't help either. Now that there's a majority government maybe we'll finally start getting somewhere with it.
2021 and still no cheap housing available
Australia is just as bad now...or getting there. There’s no hope left anymore.
@@frankboff1260 so sad😢

Move out of Auckland... simple. Complaining you can't afford to live in an expensive place when you have 10 kids and no education...
@@frankboff1260 bullshizer crap, you so full of nothing. You got nothing on OZz that's why everyone wants to live & come to OZz (losers too) hmmm 🤔🙄
I feel conflicted about the homeless situation in Christchurch as I know alot of the "homeless" are on the benefit and aren't actually homeless and some people make over 100 dollars a day pretending to be homeless and beg
The homeless in Melbourne Victoria complained about the Chinese homeless on the street's, worked out they had home's & were sending $$ back to China. It happens everywhere, but it's all wrong & should be illegal
In some parts of the world its banned and you can be arrested for it.
@@lynetteowens7242
As a Chinese citizen myself there are homeless people all around in the world. Also we have Australian families who work and live here in China and we treat them with respect and dignity despite the fact that some of these Australians hang out in the streets. Plus comparing China's economy to that of Australian is at least 100 percent stronger and better than there. Too bad that the so called Australia in the near future will be just another 3rd world country while on the other hand China will rule the world.
@@lamhoyi1948 china will never rule the world, don't act getting cocky just because your economy is nowadays increasing and your bully govt makes you think your country is better then the others. China tourists are well known for their bad behavior so why dont just keep those bad omens stay still in your country
homelessness everywhere in Auckland, Auckland is the most depressing city in New Zealand, I'm happy that I have settle down in Tauranga
Hope you find a home soon .my prayer are with you all.
These interviews are always loaded to present a skewed perspective. Eg: They interview a woman with ten kids. Seriously? I can’t afford rent and I’ve got no kids and I’m working.
exactly....the one of a very rare few that has that many kids n they had to show that ...gosh
Ten kids stupid in head
People make bad choices in life and then expect the world to look after them. I have fewer kids than I would have liked because I figured I couldn't provide for more.
Bludgers. I knew a woman who just kept having babies when the child started school. The majority voted to legalise marijuana though.
Seriously, working & can't afford rent. Or, you just can't comprehend paying half your earnings on rent ?
Yeah and each one of these people are on the benefit with their hand out. They do get money but make terrible choices.
Exactly that....it comes down to the choices they make.
i work for winz and most ppl get 300, we know they have to pay rent, buy food, pay bills etc etc, rent is averaging 500 pw.....................you call it a handout but it isnt even enough to live on. some ppl have injurys or other reasons why they are on it, i hear what you say alot, but do you think your taxes would go down if there was no benefit? once you pay tax its not your money anymore, its not like you are paying tax voluntarily
I would agree some are lazy but not all, I was working in Auckland making around 800 a week. After paying rent and bills I was left with nothing. Why should I use most of my income just to pay rent to some greedy pig that owns four or five houses. Pretty soon this is how it will be in the rest of NZ. I found a solution to the problem I left and I will never go back.
ok 10 kids? te aroha! yes this shouldn't be happening no more kids for starters? birth control?
I come from a family of 12 siblings and my parents, making it 14 of us! My parents were mortgage free by the time they hit their 50s. So, having a big family is not why she is homeless!
@@michelletans687 Having a big family is no problem, but having a big family while she can't afford to give them basic necessity is the problem.
@@michelletans687 Where are the husbands
When I make it ! I'm gonna try and do my best to help my people and every other culture and person that goes through this ! ❤️
Can I join you?
Go Bro !
Ok
Don't kid yourself, these people expect handouts not handups.
It was 40,000 homeless when this was filmed. It is now almost 180,000 in 2021.
Every homeless people i see is maori why is that?
Clearly Labor in not working....
Where's the 10 dad's to help out???
In jail.......
@Lord Farquaad I remember years ago a man who faked his own death to get away from his wife and kids. They were devastated thinking he had been killed in a work accident. He left his clothing and other items at the scene to make it appear he had been killed. But few years later he was found alive and well living under another identity. What a rotten thing to do to his family.
And the cop who set his own house on fire and sent himself threatening notes and painted racist slogans on his house - to make it appear he was under threat. He was having an affair with a colleague and wanted the insurance money so they could run away together, leaving his wife alone with 2 toddlers and no house to live in. He was going to tell her he had to go into hiding for his own protection......he moved to Tauranga when I lived there, moving in with his parents. He went to a massage parlour where the girls recognized his picture from the paper and wouldn't allow him in. He committed suicide a few months later......he had totally wrecked his life and that of his parents and his ex wife and kids......it was the best thing he could have done, taking himself out.
I wonder how many of the fathers here she remembers
Not many I bet
This is the result of John Keys National Governments policies, allowing borders open to foreign investors in residential property, not building affordable housing, the ones being built are for foreign investors, developers arenot interested in building cheap housing because they don't make high capital gains.
Good points
Agree...sold out to chinese
A million dollars for a house? Geez .
In truth she should have 10 children she should have any children if she can even afford to look after herself
10 kids really that's bloody terrible
Yeah I'm kind of with you I'm not sure why you would possibly have 10 children if you can't afford to look after them. Thanks a lot of kids
If you don't own a home I would consider that homeless. Welcome to NZ the home of the working homeless.
People should quit bashing Los Angeles for having a homeless problem. Cities in other states and countries around the world also have the same problems with homeless people.
What if they have been renting for a strong 2 years, And they have had a strong relationship with the landlord, Do you still consider that as being "Homeless?"
@@AverageDiscordMod as capital gains is set to rise so to will the rent to counter it. The government is spending 1m per day in housing for the homeless. Renting a home is also only a temporary arrangement as many will not be able to afford the new renting prices. If you don't own a home you are technically homeless.
That’s in Manurewa, I live in Auckland Manurewa.
It's happening right thru "Gods-own peice of paradise".
The Bankers, are the most disruptive & flawed individuals, as they don't care about collateral damage, just their bottom line - the yearly dividend to shareholders.
This is what happens in Liberalized and progressive areas
.....liberalized areas....where the conservative free market allows the rich the monopoly of the housing market....
Namely the cities.
@@Murrangurk2
The poster is referring to the cities mostly run by leftists and progressives.
Kiwis have been slowly being ground into the dirt since the mid eighties. By comparison Aussies earn 32% more in their pay packets even on minimum wage. The kiwi government wines and dines the giant companies, by not increasing minimum wages and forcing it's citizens to make up the shortfall themselves from their own taxes. This country has fallen into third world status on several levels, including it's most valuable asset: Children.
If you think it's a wonderful and beautiful place to visit, just make sure to turn a blind eye to all the working poor, who now make up 80% of the general population. Another comparison to what's going on in this train wreck of a country. In New Zealand 1 in 100 are homeless, compared to 1 in 200 in Australia and 1 in 1,650 in the U.S (per capita).
Lets be honest here, there is no middle class left in New Zealand, only the haves and have nots. Any traces of this so called "middle class" emigrated to Australia in the nineties.
Australia has a bigger economy, we cannot compare ourselves to them!
@@michelletans687 Yup that's why 1mill kiwis choose to love there.
IT'S BEEN 2YRS I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO THE 1S YOU INTERVIEWED
Housing is already cheap for beneficiaries an they say they are going to make it cheaper??! Workers like me. Own our houses for the hard work we do 24/7 I mean what are work an income going to do with beneficiarie people that sit at home which our taxes are forward to the ones that are on sickness benefit. 50% of people that are on sickness benefit are fit to work full-time😬
KINGSTON Mata so true ! Work a little you'll be amazed at how much u can afford
I agree with you on working hard making some good friends , I live in Sydney Australia at the moment however I grew up in NZ I am an Aussie however I lived 23 years in Auckland I worked hard I loved the work hard culture and the people I have also lived tough I also got a mental illness while in NZ at 17 I worked very hard though, I was in carrington hospital in the early 90s , kingseat hospital, since then I left NZ 10 years ago , I have lived in Sydney , Gold Coast , Adelaide, Brisbane , these days I invest money have had my own buisness worked for some big companies , Ford NZ in Avondale when it was on the corner, BP oil NZ, anyways I just want to point out something even the unemployed and beneficiaries are tax payers mate, people pay taxes on GST on petrol , all 100% taxpayers . That is one failed argument the tax payer rant . Perhaps you need to find some inclusion for these people empower people, man through the tough times I had fortunately a lot of people empowering me and urging me on , that’s something that is great , I have seen some bad things in my life however theses days I am financially independent with high financial IQ I invest directly on the sharemarket . I have been on benefits I also worked hard in nz legally on those benefits for not a great deal of money and it was taxed. I have done a great deal of other things, highly skilled auto-technician, I studied buisness in NZ , I went back to school as an adult to get school cert I studied carpentry, electronics BTW nz education system was first class compared to here, . Anyway mate you have to accept that all people who have money even on the dole all pay taxes , that’s one thing that’s certain well 2 , death and taxes .i have been homeless in NZ myself due to my mental illness , however I have succeeded and gone places angels fear to tread . Anyway all the best 👍
There is little full time work any more and NZ is a low wage economy.
@@iamasmurf1122 Thanks Michael Inspiring Story U made it out of many a bad Circumstance. I Hope to too! Bye.
you claim 50% of sickness beneficiaries are fit and healthy. Is this an official statistic, or a guess based on your own sample?
Not all people have had easy lives alot of homeless people have survived years of abuse violence neglect and rape. Struggle with severe mental disorders. Some are so lucky who were raised without these barriers. Had this not happen to homeless people we would not be having this problem it's not their fault. There are reasons why government have benefits to help people like this. I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot then what. People let's have some compassion!!
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants and yet the skill shortage list is still the same ... go figure
So ? they come in on a Skilled Worker Visa but have no intention or financial need to work ? Is that your meaning here ...?
@@comealongcomealong4480 Well okay I’m bemused. The purpose for immigration is to meet the skills that locals can’t or what? If almost a million people came into NZ since 2000 yet the skills shortage stays the same? Why are NZers being pushed out of housing for people that have the same skill set as locals?
@@crookedpaths6612 Exactly. C21st immigration programs have been introduced by political decision makers - selling us all the economic benefits for the host country.

@@mike2696 I'm not hating,

Point taken about the national party, system is really to blame.
This is what Democratic Socialism looks like. Long as the country have funds, it works ok, but when the budget don't cover all the people, it starts break down.
@Alejandro P Well, what you are describing is not "democratic socialism". Thats capitalism at its worst.
@Alejandro P me too. Living in a socialist country, a lot more humane than NZ...
actually, the reduction in social housing was the result of 'neo-liberalism', where the governments, both left and right (Labour and National) sold state owned assets and went into 'partnership' with private enterprise. There IS a homelessness problem in NZ, but it was never 1 in 100. these figures include 'substandard housing', mobile homes, emergency accommodation and refuges. Other countries count only 'rough sleepers', so it is a statistic that should be compared to overseas figures. The young lady says 'homelessness is what everyone is coming into now'. This in NOT true. Yes, house prices are stupidly high in Auckland- not so high in other places. Very cheap in some towns. I spoke to some of our homeless in Christchurch before the lockdown- one man told me many are 'homeless' but only a very small percentage are rough sleepers. Those that do sleep rough often do so because they do not like the rules of the places that offer night shelter. this is not to deny there is a problem, but this clip makes out there is no social safety net in nz. There is a net- it does need fixing, but there is one.
@@somelikeithotmel You would have to try very hard to starve to death in NZ, so I refute the claim that NZ is not as humane as your own country (where ever that is). This news article rather overstates the case. There are agencies- government and non government that offer food and shelter daily to those that struggle here. The figures given- 1 in 100 include those staying in those shelters. Each homeless person is homeless for their own reasons- some, are in employment but sleep in cars. They choose to live and work in Auckland. There is work and much cheaper accommodation in other places. Many people (not all) make lifestyle choices to live in multi family dwellings, or mobile homes. There are 'waiting lists for affordable housing units', but some countries don't even have those. Our current government set out (and failed) to build a hundred thousand affordable houses in ten years- they got to about 600 in 3 years. So, quite humane, but rather inept.
@Jeri Brown democratic solialist countries do have a capitalist economic system. What makes it different from pure capitalism is the social 'safety net'. The democratic part of the political system means there can be significant swings between right and left leaning governments as to how wide and effective that net is.
This reminds me of Hawaii where I reside. Homelessness is major here.
That's what happens when ugly drug dealers and prostitutes from Mexico overpopulated the entire usa.
This disgust me ,, i wish i had the know how , to build small houses for the people. When i think of a lot of people i know in nz with wealth you should be helping .the maraes will have to open their doors all over to get them off the streets for winter
The thing is you can build them a house and give them everything but most of them don't have the mental tools to make anything of it and thrive. Everyone has a story and a lot of these stories aren't pretty. Coming from a tough upbringing you have outwork and dig deeper than everyone else.
1977 auckland 12 years old I was,better than putting up with some people indoors.
Look from a positive prospective if they house homeless into motels which costs then put this to good use, build houses!!! that are affordable
the situation is dire i agree , but having 10 kids is not helping
Yes it is. It makes her money. It is profitable to have 10 kids, she basically gets paid to breed.
1 for mom 1 for dad and the rest for the country.
The more kids they have, the more benefits money will going to receive, but if you are both working (husband and wife) you receive nothing. Just like us, we are working poor, paying daycare full price, no subsidy from the government like accommodation supplement, WFF( working for families tax credit) no community card, winter power money, and the list goes on. The money they receive is from the tax of working people like us. And lets be honest, if you have 10 kids there is no way that you've been working and contributing to the country in the form of tax. Even if the dad is working, that is not enough to contribute to fund his kids education, especially healthcare, etc. Every pregnancy alone it cost the DHB money as she don't pay any hospital bills.
RebelRadius seriously u don’t get much from ten kids ur deluded
angie besandre u can’t survive it’s stupidity on the benefit

They're not going to go anywhere in life, There just going to become lazy and rely on taxpayers to help them... Right now I'm 15 and I don't know if I'm going to live in Auckland when I'm older. I'm looking at these taxes, How much stuff costs, It's just too expensive! etc... And it just looks like hell. (I'm still learning the ropes 😂)

I am a new kiwi and this is my honest thought. Government main objective should help disadvantage kiwi stand on their feet instead of providing endless help. Many reports on number of homelessness growing but not much on why, is it because of lack education? gang/drug? low wages? kids? Find the reasons behind and tackle the root. It is not easy for government and the people, but we all know that is the only solution to bring NZ forward.
State housing should be temporary for transition period or those that absolutely couldn't get a job. On one end we need to import labor in many industries but another end so many healthy kiwi complaining lack of jobs, isn't something worth look into?
Maybe even derelict? A roofs, a roof. Our old Police station in Gisborne can accommodate for example. Even though we know. As well as other sites.
I am sorry to see this crisis in NZ. NZ is always a country I wanted to visit and even to stay. But these *homeless* ppl looks fit and healthy. Why they are not working and sitting outside eateries to ask for help? Even cigarettes in their mouth. I thought it is expensive to buy cigarettes in NZ? I dun deny that the housing is expensive in Auckland but there's a will theres a way. Help yourself with the right mind set, or I think they choose to be homeless.
immigrants make the wages low, then they realise they cant live on it, while the government hands them a top up, while kiwis end up homeless, since i started typing this, 300 immigrants arrived, see the problem.
Same is happenning in Australia rents are going sky high my advice is go to Tasmania especially North West Tasmania rents are cheaper in Ulverstone and Burnie
Move out the city and into the smaller towns. City = $450+ rent compared to Small town $250+, the problem is some of them don't want to move they'd rather stay in a city and struggle then move to a small town and probably only just make ends meet
I moved to a small town in Idaho and the Outside real estate firms are buying up housing here for investment purposes and its raising housing prices big time. Less housing supply has hurt the rental market supply and demand thus hurting the poorest of us. Immigration from California and other hard up states is adding to the economic mess as wages suffer as usual.
You can move to a smaller town but the problem is there are no jobs, even in those areas too the house prices are rapidly escalating where even if you have a job you wont be able to afford rent or a mortgage.
Many should move back to their tribal and family land.....

Growing up in Auckland I hated the mundane ridiculous lifestyle that we were forced into, where you had to pull yourself through the high rates and low wages, or you'll be stuffed.
Get rid of the foreign buyers and look after your people. Like the old saying goes "If you sell to one customer, then they run your business".
Can we encourage people to work hard and smart, equip people with realistic and achievable goals and give them a chance in a community that works together, until they're confident to move elsewhere..... Not become homeless in the very place you grew up.

40,000 Homeless in Auckland, thirty years ago it would have been unheard of yet the politicians tell you its nothing to worry about. Someone isnt telling the truth and I dont think its those with nowhere to live. For the last thirty years the NZ economy has existed on Chinese money driven by the sale of real estate, agriculture which at one time was its biggest earner has dissapeared to be replaced by speculators that have thought of no one except themselves and this is the result.
what is the best country {usa} {new zealand} or {canada}
Where do the migrants& refugees live ,they all seem to have accommodation,you don’t see them on the streets
Because traditionally they all live together as an extended family. They care for their own elderly people and invalids rather than shoving them in homes.
@hello is it me youre looking for I'm very sorry to hear it. It's just as bad in Levin where I live. I was lucky to get the little place I'm in but it took a few months. When I was 14 I left home, had a job and went flatting with 2 others. We shared expenses, cooking, chores etc. I was very responsible for a 14 year old and we had full employment back then, in the early 1970s and I was never without a job. Those days are gone now.......If you could go flatting with others, get into an already established flat........flatmates come and go. There must be a space for you somewhere.
Street people have it easy they get fed,spend their money on booze and drugs, dont have to pay bills, can sit outside shops and make money
Because they are willing to work and not suck the system dry
'AROHA' dont worry jacinda will fix everythng
When Jacinda smiles a fairy is born to grant wishes.
Lol jacinda made everything so much worse. When government spends money or the money rate is increased without a rise in gdp, more goods and services, homes included you get inflation. With government debt rising the central bank will keep interest low and worsen the inflation of the housing market. Peoples lack of economics is astounding. Incentives to building new houses could help but the only way to do that is to give tax cuts to home builders and wave council fees. These absolutely daft policies of the labour government wont help anyone. They may cause stagflation.
Why would you have ten kids if you couldn't look after them? Just ridiculous!
just loves rooting lots of men,
grow up.
@@denicebizz7342 ok, lion red?
so sad.
And her 10 children.... yea wut?
since then those people are all housed now
Auckland needs to build more townhouse for homeless people because There not safe.
May be stop inviting refugees to NZ and offer shelters to homeless domestic Kiwis first.
I've been asked if I have some change then that money's gone to 2wards smokes should spent it on my kids
Aye bro, brought someone Macca's seen them try take it back for the money.
Gotta be careful who's fake and real. SALUTE!
We have the greedy landlords here
while govt keeps giving tenants rights, things will get expensive. immigration is the issue here, but cant say it to anyone, until kiwis realise this, nothing changes, you all will live broke and week to week as slave to the greedy cats.
landlords had to buy the house too remember, only those with fear dont succeed
@@chemtrailer6078 I'm seeing homelessness everywhere in Auckland, Auckland is the most depressing city in New Zealand, I'm happy that I have settle down in Tauranga
What an embarrassment , the thick are stuffed
Ten kids so uncool those poor kids
Affordable housing at $500K ???
Still waiting for affordable housing, rents are too high
stop immigration is first step, not racism or hate speech, logical, tidy your own backyard before having visitors, they wont tidy your yard, if you understand my policy?
Perhaps they can seek help with Mahana's new zealand community. Mr Arthur van reestagham was looking for volunteers (women and children) to rebuild some houses. Take a look at the vice documentary about "Inside New Zealand's Lost Hippy Commune". I'm sure you can find a solution and a shelter quickly. Good luck
Stop crying and blaming others for your own problem. Start looking for a solution to supply for your kids and family. Decision is where it all start. You are the only one who put yourself in that position. Not someone else. Life is tough and we all live in it. People who get up and work hard for their family do get ahead in life.
I found a solution to the problem I packed up my bags and left.
@@NZfabrock Same
My worst fear!!!!😟😭😔
in america the homeless people sleep in tents why don't the government provide them with tents
Ross White Noone wants a Jungle.
Tents are expensive. Lives are not.
In NZ, the government put them in motels, if you listen to the narrative, the woman of 10 kids they live in a motel which the government pays almost $1,500 a week as private rentals don't allow such a big numbers of families.
@@snowsansa1527 NZ have no public housing...??
Lin foote, there are, but mostly the Housing New Zealand has only 3 bedroom houses, but if the families is very large one, it's either the government extend the existing house that they are living in or sit in the waiting list waiting for the new build houses, that's why they stay in the motels while on the waiting lists. Some of them come from the private rentals that the government give subsidies it's called accommodation supplement but because of bad behaviour like thrashing the property or not paying the rent they were kick out and it's hard to go back to the private property rentals because of bad references. They received different kinds government money, like Working for families tax credit, accommodation supplement, winter money from June to September, etc. While us working poor that husband and wife working full time both pay tax receives nothing. A lot of them don't want to work as sitting on the dole is more money than working full time on minimum wage.
😭 …this breaks my heart 🙏🏻
The avocado (Persea americana) is a medium-sized, evergreen tree in the laurel family (Lauraceae). It is native to the Americas and was first domesticated in Mesoamerica more than 5,000 years ago. Then as now it was prized for its large and unusually oily fruit.[3] The tree likely originated in the highlands bridging south-central Mexico and Guatemala.[4][5][6] Its fruit, sometimes also referred to as an alligator pear or avocado pear, is botanically a large berry containing a single large seed.
Nice👌
Also compounded by an insane and malicious immigration policy that sees just about every job and home taken by new arrivals......Let's be honest here! Auckland looks like New Dehli! 95% of service jobs are filled by Indians. The ratio of (natural born) Kiwis to govt created ones is so out of balance it's ridiculous!! Couple that with the predatory nature of Chinese homeowners (Many not even in the country) who can and do bump the rent up beyond the means of the working poor and you have a recipe for disaster.....Is this a replacement? Coz it sure feels like it....As a Kiwi coming home for the first time in over 10 years I was shocked to see how many Indians were there...Looking at Auckland airport for example. This is the first impression visitors get of our country. It's the first glimpse they get of Kiwis when they arrive and what do they see??? India!!!!! Go to any shopping mall or supermarket; India!! Take a taxi or shuttle or Uber ride; India!! There are no homeless Indians in NZ, but there are lots of homeless Maoris....I'm not saying that they are homeless because of this, in fact, they're most likely that way due to their own faults and bad decisions in life. The real problem of this open door agenda is that it's harming the working poor! Those who do work and struggle to make ends meet but find the housing and job market shrinking before their eyes as Asians flood into the country and get everything handed to them! They never earned their status here! They never helped build this country up or fought for it. Our bankrupt govt are lying to us all, pretending to have the means to support these fake refugees when it's patently obvious they're unable to even support the growing mass of struggling workers here already!!! There is a reason their countries are filthy festering third-world armpits! It's not just a political cause...It's got a lot to do with character......That's the character our traitorous govt is importing now at full flow!!!
The Asian people are not homeless because traditionally they live all together with the extended family. They care for their own elderly at home rather than shoving them away in homes. I was married to a Hindu and we moved in with his family. Every time a song got married the just built another room on their large house in their large compound. The men were all working and all handed their wages over to the elderly mother who paid all the bills and controlled the budget. They had a huge vege garden, tropical fruit trees everywhere, two milking cows and a bull and they made their own butter and cheese. They also had chickens for eggs and goats as well. They would slaughter a goat for Xmas and a chicken for me as I didn't like the goat meat.
@Frank Zappa that has do to with low interest rates and property speculation. The banks facilitate this. Far more "kiwis" do this than asians. It has nothing to do with race.
I could'nt agree more New Zealand is the santuary for indians.
I live overseas and on several trips home the immergration officers at the airport were indians
Were are the Kiwi born New Zealanders?
Have they all migrated overseas like me.
Very soon the Kiwi Maori greeting of Kia ora will be replaced by Namaste

Over imagration and globlism is the problem , as something happening in Australia.
You got nothing on OZz, much better run country & much superior to slow back in (& backwards) time N.Z that's why hundreds thousands of Kiwis (& Maoris) live in Oz. Your low wages & high costs $$¢¢ of living drove em there. hmmm 😁😅😂
Make sure you vote 👍 straight up
who do you vote for?
@@Abraham-MasterofLights lady's first?
How can New Zealand have a major problem with homelessness? It is a little bigger than the UK(although spilt into North and South Island) It has a little over 5 million people. There are more people just in Greater London! Appalling!
Supply & demand. More people wanting homes, higher the cost of homes. First home buyers wanting a place to live are competing with landlords that already have multiple rentals.
Banks say you cant afford to buy a house, so you rent - in effect paying a house off for someone else. What a strange society model.
Isn't it that one of reasons why some rents are very high is due to landlords borrowed money from bank to buy a property then rented out in high $$$$ to pay their loan on the property , if that's the case, then I would think the landlord is responsible for paying some of it, and renters may be 3/4 rent , bc the owner will always own the property. Just a thought.🤗
Govt should help them who are realy homeless
May I ask who can render assistance please?
The Maoris have the money, they just need to apply it to looking after their own people....
At least you ask, unlike some or seems most who can be heartless, beligerant and lacking in a brain as well. Politicians are not their freinds.
@@alfredneuman6488 How can other people and I survive please?

AMEN TO THIS THE LARGE CITY'S ARE WORSE BUT IT'S REALLY EFFECTING SMALL TOWN'S IN NEW ZEALAND LIKE MY HOME TOWN WANGANUI NEW ZEALAND
Many of these homeless people are homeless because of their own doing,some have gone homeless so they get cheap govt provided accomodation while they spend money on smokes and alcohol. You got to live according to what you earn or make from the dole. If you dont want to go work stop getting pregnant and expect hard working tax payers pay for your rent and provide for your every day needs. I once live in a lodge at Mangere along with 12 able body men and women who do nothing all day but drink,smoke and sleep. Not only their rent gets paid for by the governtment they also get the unemployment benefit while the farmers are paying for overseas workers to come and do the work while these people live on handouts.
Call Paula Benefit who created this mess! Make her and John Key accountable!
I have give my business card to 5 homeless to contact me for job. I have cleaning company, never get any call from them asking me for a job
national did this
10 kids?! wtf..how about some contraception knowing you cant support even 1?
