## Resource

A century-old family home in Pt Chevalier, Auckland, stands as the last private residence on its block—right beside a giant supermarket—and is now at the center of a major busway project. The NZTA is in talks to buy it, but the sons of the original owner, now 95, say they’ve only received vague letters and no concrete offers. Surrounded by commercial sprawl and rising prices, they’re seeking “replacement value” to stay in the neighborhood they’ve called home since the 1950s. With all other houses gone and property costs soaring, they’re hoping for a fair deal to keep their legacy intact. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
