Introduction:
So many construction sites but so little housing. So many upgraded buildings, but so little job opportunities. I think everybody has heard about the housing crisis, but hardly anyone knows a lot about it. Nothing new but did you know there is a huge housing crisis in New Zealand? Did you know that over 41,000 people live in the streets of New Zealand? Or did the thought of it never cross your mind while you were admiring the new seats in the new and approved movie theatre? We as people, we as Aotearoa need to worry less about new pools, theatres, and shopping malls, and need to worry more about our housing crisis.
In this essay, I will be addressing some of the problems we have due to our housing crisis. Here I will demonstrate 4 points about my topic which will be homelessness/poverty, the expensive rent, and the families struggling to find a house. Lastly, we have our rebuttal point which will argue against my point, that being the fact that we need more facilities so there are more jobs.
Homelessness is a simple and growing problem in New Zealand due to the housing crisis, causing many people to sleep on the streets of Aotearoa. Like many countries, homelessness is a big problem. There are many reasons for that, but one of the biggest reasons is due to not being able to find a home. Did you know that there are over 41,000 homeless people? In fact, in 2018 New Zealand Herald made a newspaper about homelessness, proving that 80-90% of the homeless were turned down from emergency housing. This supports the fact that the government should worry more about building more homes, rather than building more buildings and tourist attractions. Because why should we enjoy a new cinema with their new flash chairs, when people are struggling to find a place to sleep? Why should we build more tourist attractions, when our people need us.
The second point I will be addressing is the expensive housing. Not only are we in a housing crisis, but the homes we do have are expensive. Both rent and ownership. The average rent of a home in New Zealand is around 400 NZD a week. 400 dollars for a standard small house that is. On minimum wage, you earn around $18 an hour. So just to pay your rent most people work over 20 hours a week. But not everyone is earning minimum wage, depending on your job, you get different pay. Some people can't and struggle to get a job. Some reasons being a criminal record, a single parent, and plenty of other reasons, meaning they depend on the benefit to pay their weekly needs. On average a single person gets around $200-$300 a week. So if rent is so expensive, how will these people pay for food and other necessary needs. Exactly, they can't. In my opinion, I believe that if the government can't build more houses, they should be more affordable with the homes we do have. We don't need our facilities upgraded, we need more affordable homes.
Turning our attention to our next point, I will be addressing how the people of New Zealand are struggling to find a house due to our housing crisis. While doing this essay I found out that there are over 14,500 people on a waiting list. YES, Nearly 15 THOUSAND! 15 thousand people waiting to get a home, most of them having families to roof. Based on our findings, The national party is blaming the labour party's housing policies and says the government has interfered with the rental market instead of building more houses. This shows that the government has been MEDDLING with our rent, turning their back on our housing crisis, when these families need our help. I believe with my whole soul, that no one should have to live on the streets because they can't find a home. We as a country, we as human beings need to help them. There are children, CHILDREN, sleeping in cars, streets, sheds, or squished in a room with everyone else because there ain't enough houses to go around. We don't need our pools, and tourist attractions upgraded, we need our government upgraded. Our waiting list is far too big to look away from. Our babies, our whanau, our people need more homes built. This is enough for this point, now I will be going onto my last.
Jobs. Jobs are something people struggle to find, not much the job but employment. This is where my last point comes in. Like many things, jobs are hard to get and find in New Zealand. Meaning more facilities in our country will open up more job opportunities for our people and communities, creating a more comfortable environment and lifestyle. More facilities lead to more jobs which will lead to fewer people on our street. People will be able to pay their rent and grow their work experience. Not only will having more facilities open up more job opportunities, but it will also give our communities something to do in their free time and create good entertainment for our country. And how could I forget one of the most important facilities there is, SCHOOLS! Schools are a basic necessity for our country which not only provides education and safety for our tamariki but many more reasons. Education is the most important public facility which is required both from the rich and the poor. So although houses are important, getting a good education is just as important, because education leads to a good job, a good job leads to money, money leads to a roof over your head, food in your mouth, and a comfortable lifestyle. According to study rankers online, having facilities help develop and better our country by providing easy access to basic necessities, proper education, and public distribution system. So even though I believe that our housing crisis is much more important, facilities are really good to have.
With this in mind, I hope this has educated you on our housing crisis, which is much more important than facility upgrades. We need change. We need it now. Without change, our people will continue to sleep on the streets, be crowded in a small house, and or start doing things they will regret to make money to pay their rent. Facilities are important, but our people are more important, We need to shelter them. Every NewZealander, Every human deserves to have a safe, secure, and dry place to live.
