Here you go:


Ohura .

37 Taranui St was one of three homes that sold for $20,000 last year. It's a floodplain.

I tried to write this reply half a dozen times but all I really want to point out is that I don't see anyone choosing to live in that situation. Sure cheap house, but say goodbye to your livelihood. Spoken to many people, who are far more persistent than me, and more and more have cut their losses now for the sake of their sanity.

FYI I am not affected (effected?) by the flooding now as I was lucky enough to be renting so could relocate without much drama.

EDIT: I sound way too serious, not intended.

You'd think so wouldn't you. Common sense.

But maybe not. 20% of Holland lies below sea level and 21% of the population live on this land.

1373814 2014-05-01 09:08:00 It’s just another case of the “Hand-Wringers” and “Procrastinators” running things again.

Simple fix!

Call tenders to clear the creek of weeds and other rubbish!

Tell the successful tenderer the sooner they get the job finished the sooner they’ll get paid.

Message Ends. :mad:

And then spend 2 years going through resource consents. There may be fish ,worms & native weeds that need protection.

Don't forget the Taniwha that will need a few hundred thousand to go away.
