A person has died at a troubled Kāinga Ora housing estate in Auckland. This location has had such a problematic time with a particular tenant that bodyguards were hired, at an eye-watering cost, to keep other residents safe. No one has a right to a taxpayer funded house for life, especially when you don't deserve it and can’t respect thy neighbour. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
