Feedback Closed yet the Commentary runs Hot

There must be a report due out (which there is) in regards to the Unitary Plan looking at five (now six) different Chrome tabs I have open at the moment in regards to media coverage. The MSM coverage is pretty wide-ranging from support of the UP to some impending changes towards The Clunker as well. Some of the more “interesting” pieces I will look at an individual level later on today and tomorrow.

But first some links into the chatter today around the draft Unitary Plan:

• Easing public fears on city blueprint

• ‘Compact cities cult’ blamed for high house prices

• Anti-development attitudes make housing unaffordable

• Ordinary NZers priced out of the housing market – report

• The Unitary Plan – Zoe’s Perspective

• Rethink the Housing Accord says Auckland 2040

There is also a segment from Morning Report on how kiwi’s might be needing to let go of the 1/4 acre dream as well and be more pragmatic as Auckland grows

Quite the reading for your start of the week…
