I first witnessed the situation there in the seventies (I lived just off Waiora Rd) and it was definitely a "Fort Apache the Bronx" world then. Many parts of it are now under gentrification and even the old Olympic Village properties are being sold off and renovated. The recent general market softening may even speed things up there.
Liked the shops across the road from the Olympic Village area, my kids played a few basketball games there at the village, weird old stadium....the shops were nearly all closed
and covered in corrugated tin sheets...looked like an area that had seen war.....
