Even though I am an adequately housed boomer, I share your anger with the housing situation in our land. It has come about through deliberate policy, but things can be changed with political action, I believe. This current coalition is astounding in its stupidity and lack of empathy, but they may be doing us a favour by outraging a significant number of people, leading to real change.
Your writing shows us your humanity and is a taonga.
Thank you Rosie, for the bonus of lovely writing.

Thanks Alan. I'm hoping for that outrage-wave too, but I think people are mostly just worn out trying to survive.
I spoke to a friend today who is living in a tent in someone's backyard, showering at work.
