Ha Balance, you're so easily triggered, thought that post about Private Schools might get under your skin.
Interested to have a quick look at this housing claim & it seems Daytr is absolutely correct.
Here's some quick figures substantiated by reliable sources.
When National defeated Helen Clark's govt in 2008, there were 65,324 State homes.
When National lost 9 years later in Sept 2017 there were only 63,209 State homes. i.e. going backwards.
National also deferred so much maintenance, many of the housing stock were in a terrible state.
Judith Collins corrected National MP Jaquie Dean's embarrassing claim National had built 30,000 State Houses in 9 years, which she later apologised for & Collins claimed it was 3,000 homes.
The actual figure according to Ministry of Housing & Urban Development was just 2,728 built in 9 years!
According to same Ministry, between 31 October 2017 when Labour won and 30 June 2022 there has been a Net increase of 10,037 Public Homes as they are now called.
As of 30 June 2022 there are 76,271 Public Homes.
So add another 12 months & the figure is likely to be around the 12,000 mark.
Just leave that with you to digest, & perhaps have a think about before the next time you are about to attack other posters.
Garbage as usual from BS.
Did you bother to read what your fellow indoctrinated Labour poster Daytr wrote?
He wrote about 12,000 new state houses BUILT. Which part of that statement from him do you not get?
Same garbage about the marginal cost of additional prisoner being $192,000 a year.
You were also pushing the same garbage about the number of state houses built by this Labour government a few months ago.
12,000 new state houses built by Labour? Kiss my arse.
Someone doesn't understand that the Government doesn't actually do any of the building, it's done by construction companies.
By your logic, which is pretty extraterrestrial, National didn't build any roads either in their 9 years of Government. But we all know that is one area they performed well in, about the only area, but credit where credit is due.
Anyway, about time I put this nonsensical, little man on ignore. Irrational, completely unbalanced in more ways than one and just a nasty little man.
You are far from the first to have given up trying to engage with Balance, and I doubt that you will be the last. I believe he is a troll, and I try not to feed him.
His bile and hatred for the left and his contempt for the 50% plus of the population who voted for them would poison any discussion, even if he was able to articulate a coherent philosophy rather than snipe and denigrate.
Leave him to count his money, rail against the social changes that demographics make inevitablr, and pull the wings off flies.
davflaws - the man with no heritage or culture unless he becomes a Maori or embraces Maori culture.
Need anyone write more about how pathetic some NZers have become?

Recording this for future reference for all objective posters to observe just how twisted, deceitful and morally corrupt the indoctrinated Labour supporters are on this site :
Caught out with his blatant lie that this useless Labour government did not build 12,000 additional state houses, he resorted to yet more lies and spin to get out of the hole he dug.
Fact :
When Labour came to power in late 2017 there were 61,351 state house rentals. Today, five years later, there are 65,654 state house rentals – a net increase of just 4,403 state houses over five years.
If emergency or transitional housing are included (where the government takes out short term leases) and local community housing providers (where the government assists CHP’s to provide housing) the total income related rental housing has increased from 63,315 to just 70,397 – an increase of just 7,082 over five years.
Meanwhile, the housing waiting list is up 350% from 5,353 in 2017 to 24,010 in 2023!
