A sad morning in our little town

[Taw]

My sincere condolences to this young man's family.

So very sad

[Weka]

A very sad and tragic end to a young life.
The apartments he had sounds an all too familiar tale here, especially on the north shore. So many have been bulldozed, reclad or rebuilt. At a cost of hundreds or thousands of dollars. There are not enough homes for sale, but those with a home built between 1990 and 2005 find it almost impossible to sell. A few owners of these too have taken their own life. It's so tragic, yet the powers tht be and those that are responsible, just wash their hands of it, passing laws so try can't be sued as the problem is so large it may bankrupt the council if one case won in court.

Sad sad sad

My thoughts are with his wife who must now bear this burden alone.
