Lester's "do something" plan for housing
- Councillor Jenny Condie
- Candidate for mayor and northern ward of Wellington City Council, Dr Jenny Condie today called Justin Lester’s housing plan a “do something” plan. “Often politicians see a problem and think: “We must do something about this!” Sadly, it doesn’t always seem to matter if what they propose to do will actually work to solve the problem,” Dr Condie said. “Lester proposes to spend ratepayers’ money on a plan that will do nothing to improve housing affordability except for the lucky few who gain rent subsidies. Council must try to avoid adding to rates, which hit people on fixed incomes hardest,” Dr Condie said.
