The great gap on this living plan of the North Shore Council
His colleague of the Ku-Roi housing group, Jem Punthakey, was also against the proposal: “We are fighting to prevent Ku-rock-gai from becoming a fenced elite community of the old man and the rich, expected by a class of servants of essential workers who have no choice that to move the hours every day and every day from the distant.”
Michael Clayden, 24 years old, lives with his family in St Ives and cannot afford to go out. However, he claimed the proposal as he believed that the houses should be built now.

“We are looking at our community to become a place that only the rich can afford, forcing young people, companies and diversity and for what?” he said.
Shankar Sapkota, 30 years old, was also against the proposal, even if not for the same reasons. Sapkota believed that the housing crisis was only resolved by limiting immigration numbers. Son of immigrants and member of Friends of Ku-rock-gai Environment, who does not support any proposal, Sapkota said that the livability of the area should not fall secondly to welcome new residents.
“Our courtyards have been made his way to us,” he said.
The councilors unanimously voted to support the alternative plan, which will return to the exhibition for public feedback.
