      <title>Gordon Wilson is Dead, Long Live Affordable Housing</title>
      <link>https://www.salient.org.nz/post/gordon-wilson-is-dead-long-live-affordable-housing</link>
      <description>Last Thursday, Wellington City Council passed what Councillor Nīkau Wi Neera described as “the most pro-housing, ambitious set of amendments that we could”, as the council voted on changes to the District Plan.&#xD;

 &#xD;
&#xD;
The meeting saw the council’s biggest break from the NIMBY-ism which has defined housing policy in the city for decades. W after W for affordable housing flashed onto the council’s voting screens.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
So overwhelming were the wins for affordable housing that Councillor Nicola Young may have been left with a mild case of amnesia, saying “I’m so numb about the district plan I can barely remember what [the amendments] are.”</description>
