Accommodation
Accommodation
There are dozens of empty houses near the university and more far from it. Sleep in them, eat, work, and wash at university.
Squat in them, even illegally, until 'they' make it legal or find more houses.
When you do find satisfactory accommodation, don't forget those who haven't.
Tell your maiden aunt to leave her four bedroom house in Island Bay or Kelburn, and join or start an Oldies Commune
Fill the nearly empty houses, and you'll also be solving the old people's problems, of loneliness and inconvenience and high costs.
