To have a better future with adequate living standards, the deepest discussions need to happen. Are the national media ready to open spaces where a political debate can have a place? Is the Environment Court going to rule in favor of the people? Can we think about what type of approach New Zealand wants to have when regarding tourism? What housing market is needed?

“We are not against tourism, but we are against the negative consequences that uncontrolled tourist accommodation can have on our housing market and the overall well-being of our citizens” Ada Colau.

What does it mean when we talk about a socio-economic crisis like the housing crisis in Central Otago? Imagine a situation where the way our economy works pushes people to live in not-so-great conditions like cars, crowded houses, or motels. Meanwhile, big companies seem to do well, and a certain kind of market thrives.
