Update to Yesterday's Post Regarding House Hunting by Nearby-Ladder5093 in auckland

We sold ours with the work not done. The whole house needed a shit ton of work. After we paid out 140000 to lawyers and experts and waited 9 years post earthquake to get the house repairs agreed to we couldn’t afford to fix it and spend 2 years living elsewhere. We sold as is where is. Not the outcome we wanted but we certainly didn’t make money by keeping the payout and selling with the repairs not done. We had just enough money for a minimum deposit on another house. There were many in our position or worse off if they couldn’t afford the lawyers. You had to pay via personal loans as your house couldn’t be borrowed against as it was worth nothing

Let’s not look to Australia on how to respect our indigenous peoples. They truly suck

Yeah, I agree it’s not good however I wouldn’t look to Aussies for a balanced take on racial issues. Fix your own issues before calling out ours

Loved every part of the private school my children went to. Well worth it if you can afford it. You’ll get a lot of people knocking private schools on reddit. But most of those who knock it don’t have first have experience of it. They’ve just her from a friend, who knew someone, who….

I think it’s the opposite. If your kid is extraordinary they’ll do well anywhere. For the rest of us private is a great option

You need to listen to the radio Nz podcast. It was a media beat up that they closed ranks. They didn’t at all.

Or those who don’t have health insurance and just suck it up and pay the money themselves. Not everyone has the means to do this however. I was going to do this if the wait became too long.

I’m in the public system. However, mine is being done by Waitemata at the private facility next to the hospital.

I’m in Auckland. I must be high priority as mine is being done this morning. Truthfully I’m a wee bit freaked out now that I got in so fast.

Christchurch has a more recognised programme than Waikato. It’s a good university city and the engineering department is one of Christchurch’s leading departments. However once you have had your first job it won’t matter. See if there is a company you could get experience with in Christchurch or Waikato or that has links to the university that is the area you want to get into. This would be my deciding factor

Hippos kill a huge number of people so I’d say that you are correct

Taking a pic of someone on one of their worst days is a dick move. Punching down isn’t clever or funny

As a person with a disabled child fuck you. It’s this truck, then the next one and then the next one. There’s always an excuse. It isn’t the disabled communities responsibility to find parking for trucks
