Housing Statisctics Analysis in New Zealand
Introduction to Research: paper 5213 | Research: Housing. Elsdon Takapuwahia. | Miriama Solomon. | | 20605189 | 4/12/2012 |

RESEARCH QUESTION: What does Elsdon have to offer?
SUBURB: Elsdon Takapuwahia.

1) My first review is on Elsdon which is a website published by Porirua City Council. This website is part of the Council’s general information to the general public about Elsdon. They wrote this piece of literature so that people could get a general overview of Elsdon, and they wrote it for general knowledge of the area. The key information for this piece of literature is that houses in Elsdon are usually snapped up by first time buyers and new families. Porirua City Council (2012) states that the housing prices in Elsdon range from $160,000 to $280,000, the median sale price is $237,000 and the more expensive homes in Elsdon range up to $300,000. The houses being moderately inexpensive produce higher profits for home owners that are renting their properties out. Porirua City Council (2012) states that Elsdon houses are quintessentially Kiwi boxy weatherboard three bedroom houses, they are mostly similar in construction, but are all in different condition and colour. They all reflect the designs of the houses largely built in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Many have had modifications, with granny flats, garages, and sleep outs added on to the property. Porirua City Council (2012) states that the iwi’s “tightly held” homes, are generally passed down from generation to generation, or sold privately to other Ngati Toa descendants, often without the use of real estate agents. (Porirua City Council, 2012). This piece of literature was not written with quality verified information, there was no proof stating what they said was nothing more than general information and their opinion. It informs the reader of the housing prices, the housing structure and how the Iwi deal with selling their own properties.

2) My second review is on Finda, Ora Toa and

    Professor of Urban Affairs and Planning at Hunter College, Peter Kwong once said, “Living in this gentrification environment is much more difficult for residents. Actually, what they’re doing is killing the indigenous culture.” This process of gentrification that Kwong is referring to is defined as the purchasing and renovating of low-priced properties, usually by higher income individuals, in often deteriorated urban neighborhoods. The result is an influx of wealthier residents, and in effect, higher property prices. Gentrification applies to many different aspects of society, especially in urban communities. It is important to analyze the complex process…

    The program Habitat for Humanity was brought to life by Clarence Jordan in Americus Alabama. On the Koinonia Farm, Millard and Linda Fuller dreamt up the idea of “partnership housing”. Partnership Housing is where someone who needs shelter works with other volunteers to build affordable housing that is also cosmetically and structurally appealing. The very first family involved with the program was a couple named Beau and Emma with their five children. They previously lived in a hobble that was not insulated and, lacked indoor plumbing. With Koinonia’s Partnership Housing Program, Beau and Emma were able to be relocated into a house that had included modern-day appliances, a heating system, and indoor plumbing. The Fullers then decided to take…

    Low- Income Housing

    • 4451 Words
    • 18 Pages

    The most successful, long term, low-income housing projects are those that use sustainable design and address the social, cultural, and economic needs of residents. Traditionally built low-income housing projects are associated with high crime rates and high mortality rates among the residents who live in them. They do not provide for the needs of residents, resulting in many of the problems these low-income housing projects face today. These problems range from endangerment of human life, psychological afflictions due to the high stresses that are endured by residents, disease epidemics caused by overcrowding and unsanitary living conditions (in combination with a substandard public health system,) and rejection from the greater community based on the stigma traditional low-income housing projects have generated. Sustainable, or “green” design offers many solutions to the problems housing projects present today, including healthier living environments, high efficiency utility systems that result in lower bills for residents, safe recreation areas for common use, a sense of community within the project as well as with the greater community, and aesthetically pleasing environments to live in. Building with sustainable materials alone will not alleviate the problems traditional housing has, but must combine elements of sustainable design with residents’ needs. By implementing sustainable low-income housing projects with residents’ need in mind, the developers, residents, and the community as a whole will benefit.…
