I was born in Auckland.& I can honestly say from 1965 to 1980s the amount of homeless people was minimal. However with more people migrating to NZ. Kiwi's were left out in the cold. Foreigners were buying land. Houses. ETC. It's now 2018 with the influx of foreigners to our shores it has seen a rise in homelessness. It's a issue the government has to put more emphasis towards if they are to combat the problem of Homelessness.
We can't blame the FOREIGNERS, we need to take a good look at our Maori politicians to see what the hell they are doing about our homeless whanau! So far, none of our Maori politicians are addressing the issue! SUGGESTION: All homeless whanau should go to the nearest Marae and park themselves there! Kia ora ...
I just cannot believe that this is the country I grew up in. There were no homeless people back in the day. What the heck happened?? (:o #GodBlessTheHomeless
The Mad.- ''Hopefully they all die on the roads over here, and iff that fails, then may be all the Compulsary Acts will get some off them, @@@ Or the horrible climate here kills them off with asthma, There is one Pig ahh know from Chile and he weighs 300 kilograms from or the pigg food he eats here. His strong genetics keep him alive butt he clogs upp the streets, Hospitals, City missions, and the doorway off Mc Donald's on Queen Street begging all the time. Saw him the other night get on a stagecouah city bus and he could hardly get through the wide door with his walking trolly. and the whole large diesel bus hit the ground from his weight as he Bulled on too it.

Most of them suffer from mental illness which hadn’t been seen too, and they don’t have the proper support systems in place. You have proactive go getters then you have the homeless. The homeless all would have faced a situation in life and let’s face it our whole country is about living in a cube. If you don’t fit in you end up being in the wrong side of the tracks that’s jail, street living, unemployment ect. Some homeless have come from abusive homes and went to the streets for an easy going community I imagine. They all seem to stick together without any judgment. I imagine that a lot of them are outcasts probably some pedophiles ect whose family have abandoned them. End of the no matter what situation you’re in there is always a way out. Nz homeless have it easy compared to the ones over in Africa who are actually skin and bone with no clothes! I don’t feel sorry for any homeless in nz after what iv seen overseas.
