I grew up and stood in Auckland Central. I want to talk about why I'm committed to providing affordable housing in every community, including expensive places like Auckland Central and Waiheke, why, while it is no wonder that houses in such wonderful locations have gone up, I would like to see the older residents being able to afford to stay, and for these places to once again become places where people can live well no matter what they earn. I share with many others a vision of a well-designed, compact, affordable city which allows this rebalance, and I will work to this end.
