Gerry Brownlee's "let them eat cake" moment

Christchurch has enough housing - Brownlee

Yeah right!

I know of people living in garages and others still in limbo as to the future of their homes.

And I also recall before last winter the trumpet sounds of relocatable houses of cheap but serviceable design that would be provided so that people didn't have to spend the winter, the one before the current one living in garages and caravans - as people are  still this winter.

It would seem those cheap relocatable houses were just window dressing, a "we are doing things gesture" but something with no real substance behind it. Or am I wrong?
