Why is it always “it’ll become slums!!” the go to for NIMBY’s? When Hamilton introduced wheelie bins for rubbish and recycling I read the same thing about “Our neighbourhood’s will look like slums!!” Oh really? Wheelie bins are more slum-like than leaving black rubbish bags all over the berms every collection day? I suspect people who say this have never been near a slum in their lives.
I grew up in Papanui and my family lived in Hornby. It’s been awhile since I’ve been back but I don’t think there’s anything “special or unique about the fabric and make up” of those areas or whatever that even means.
