Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    Why is this acceptable anywhere? We are supposedly a first world country yet we still put up with this bullshit

    (In my opinion) it’s really quite simple. We don’t have enough houses, therefore people have to live in the crappy ones. If we had more houses then the crappy ones would stay empty, eventually being knocked down to build more appealing houses. But while there is demand for any and all houses, people have to put up with what they can get.

      The thing is, we are still building cold shitboxes, with the advice of “open windows to air the place out”. Well when it’s cold and wet outside, it’s not going to magically make it warm inside.

      I grew up in a place where we had proper, dry, warm houses. Even houses built in the 30’s were warm and dry. Houses hear built even within the last decade are cold damp shitboxes.

      I’m just venting but man am I sick of being cold and damp feeling all the time.
