Auckland 30 Year Plan - 400,000 new homes

[NIK]

lol and the world used to make fun of the communist 5year plans

[eri]

there does seem to be a yearning

from lefties everywhere

for some kind of

socialist planned economy

with wage, price and rent controls

which seems surprising with the complete and utter failure of such schemes to date

north korea being the last of them still running

and so the most completely screwed up and inhumane nation at present

but in a few more years when the "occupy" youngsters grow up

no doubt some young fool with more self-belief than smarts will try to organise their disparate wants into pol pot's

return to year zero

The idea behind Year Zero is that all culture and traditions within a society must be completely destroyed or discarded and a new revolutionary culture must replace it, starting from scratch. All history of a nation or people before Year Zero is deemed largely irrelevant, as it will (as an ideal) be purged and replaced from the ground up.

i guess we'll be seeing more of these in the future

funnily enough

$350,000 for 2bd+c surrounded by offices and busy roads on the city fringe

doesn't seem very livable to me
