On Karangahape Rd, rough sleeper Justin Crosswell says he opposes the government giving police the power to order people like him away, because there’s “nowhere we can go”.
“I’m not liking it,” he said. “In my opinion it was them that put us here in the first place. I didn’t want to be put in this position... I have nowhere else to go, there’s no emergency housing... there’s nowhere we can go.”
Crosswell said he had been rough sleeping on and off for close to 30 years and had spent much of that time in Auckland’s city centre, including several years on K Rd. The area, he said, felt familiar.
