He aha i piki ake ai ngā whare kōpaka i runga i te rongonui o ngā kaipuaki rangatahi

I ngā tau kua hipa, kua whakawhitinga ngā whare kōngahu i ā rātou tīmatanga hāpere ki te waihanga whare e hiahiatia ana, ā, he tino nui rawa ki waenganui i ngā kaipakihi taiohi. I aha ai i te wā i mua i te āhua nei i ngā pouaka paraihe inu me te whakamahinga, kua whakarewa hoki hei wāhi noho horapa, horiwhaka, e pakaru mai ana i ngā puka Instagram, ngā rangituhituhi hoahoa, ā, kei te kāinga anō hoki o ngā tāone ōrite. Mō ngā taiohi e rua tekau, e toru tekau tau te pakeke e nekeneke ana i tētahi ao e piki haere ana ngā utu oranga, ngā māmā mo te taiao, me te hiahia ki te whakarere, kei te tuku mai enei hanganga anō i tētahi ara takitahi ki ngā whare tikanga, ki ngā tūrua iti. Kua kotahi kē te utu whaitua, te whakauru ki te taiao, me te āhua hou—ngā āhuatanga e hāroa ana ki tētahi whakap generation e whakapono ana ki te pūtea pumau, ki te hauora o te whenua anō hoki. E piki haere ana te kīato o ngā wāhi tāone, e kore ana te maakete whare e whakaae, kei te āwherowhero ngā whare kōngahu kāore i te ratonga tāpiri motu, engari ko te whiriwhiringa arataki e whakaaetia ana e te hunga taiohi o tēnei wā.

Mō ētahi kaimahi rangatahi, ko te moemoea ki te whai whare kua roa e kore ana i te tāone. Kua piki ake ngā utu whenua i ngā tāone nui, tāngata hoki me te koretake o te tipu mōna, kua hinga ai te whirinakitanga o ngā home loan. Engari he whare kauta e herehere ana i ēnei wā e tuku mai ana i te kaupeka kei runga i te utu iti ake. Ko te utu tuatahi mō tētahi kauta waka kotahi he wehe noa i te utu mō tētahi whare tikanga, me te iti ake rānei i te utu o tētahi tiriti, ā, ina hurihia ki tētahi wāhi noho—ki te whakauru rākau, ki te punaha wai, ki te hiko—ko te utu katoa ka iti tonu pea i te utu o te whare hanga.

Ko te whai wāhi kia utua ka tū ake i te hoko tuatahi. Ko ngā whare kōwhai he pūmahana: ko te anga maitai o roto e pupuri ai i te wera me te makariri tino pai ake i ngā anga rakau, e iti ake ai ngā utu mō te rēti ia marama. I runga i taua, ko te hoahoa takotoranga e whakaae ana ki ngā whakapai ake pakanga. Ka tīmata ngā kainoho matātoko ki tētahi tautohenga noa ka whakapai ake i ngā āhua pērā i ngā wāhi noho nui ake, papai ranei i ngā taputapu ina tipu haere ō rātou karapuna (me ō rātou tahua). Mō ērā e utua ana e ngā muramura ākonga, he whai rawa te whai whakawhitinga o te whare kōwhai hei whakamātau i te āheinga ki te tiaki moni mō te haerenga, te whakatā, me ētahi atu whāinga oranga. Ko te whirinakitanga o te whare kōwhai he panoni i te wharepaku mai i tētahi wa tonu ki te tautohu e eke ai, kaua ko te wehe atu i te āheinga ki te enjoy oranga i te wā kaua.

Ko ngā kaiwhakamahi o āianei he nui ake te mōhio ki te taiao i ngā whakatipuranga i mua i a rātou, ā, ko ō rātou kōwhiringa kainga e whakaatu ana i tēnei whakapono. Ko ngā whare kōngahu, mai anō i te āhua o te mea, he toa teka tōrongo hoki. Ko ia wāhi he kōngahu hokohoko anō hoki—ko ngā hanganga paria he noho paku noa ana ki ngā tāone tai, e whai kiko ai te tarukino. Mā te hoatu i ēnei kōngahu i te ora tuarua hei whare, ka heke whakaroa te hiahia ki ngā taputapu hou hei hanga, pērā i te rakau, te konupiri, me ngā pāpara, e nui ngā rauemi kia waihanga, kia neke hoki.

Engari kāore ngā painga eko katoa ka mutu ki reira. Ko ngā whare kōngahu he māmā noho ki te whakauru ki ngā hangarau kākāriki. E āhua tāwhai ana ngā panui rā ki te takotoranga paparangi, ka huri i te arataki rā ki te hiko, ka iti ake hoki te whakamahi i ngā koraeka paripari. Ka taea hoki e ngā pūnaha huihuinga wai ua te uru atu ki te hoahoa, ka hui i te wai, ka whakapai ai mō te whāngai hua wheketere, te māra, i te whare rānei. Ko te iti rawa o te rahi o ngā whare kōngahu he āwhina i te whakamahi whakaaro: nō te iti ake te wāhi hei whakakī, ko te tino uara ki te kai noho he nui ake te tūpono, ka iti ake te para. Mō ngā kainoho rangatahi e rēhitia ana, e yara i ngā waka hiko, ā, e tautoko ana i te aro tauhokohoko, kei te noho ki tētahi whare kōngahu kāore i te kōwhiringa nohoanga anake—ko te ara taketake kia ora i ō rātou uara taiao.

Ko te ao hiranga o nāianei he whakapapa e rere ana. Ko ngā kaihirangi rangatahi ka neke i ngā mahi, ka tango i ngā mahi tūmatanui, i ngā wā ka haere ki ētahi tāone hōu—ka tīmata pea me te iti noa te whakapuaki. Ko tētahi kāinga arataki, e tuanui ana i tētahi wāhi, ka taea e koe te whakaatu hei aha atu i te oronga i tēnei arataki oranga. Ko ngā kāinga kōngeru, i te tuarangi, ka tuku mai i te nuinga o te nāhera. I hangaia kia taea te neke ki te kamupene, ki te kaipuke rānei, ka taea te neke tika ai, e āwhina ana i ā raatau kaitonoa kia whai i ngā nekenga hiranga, kia inatia ai te āhuarangi pai ake, kotahi anō rā ko te tirotiro i tētahi tāone hōu kaua ko te here o te hoko whenua, o te raru hoki o te takotoranga.

Kei te raweke tēnei āhua māmō ki ngā kaimahi motuhake, ngā manuhiri matihiko, me ērā kei ngā haerenga mahi non-stop, kei hea pea ngā wāhi mahi ina hurihia ana i te po. Whakawhitinga tētahi kaihoahoa whakaahua e noho ana i Portland ka tiki i tētahi kirimana e ono marama ki Denver: engari i te riro i tētahi papakāinga taupua, ka taea e rātou te neke i o rātou kāwai pāpaku ki tētahi wāhi hou, tononui ana i te noho oranga me te mōhio ki tā rātou ake wāhi. Kei te wātea hoki tēnei nekeneke i ngā tūponotanga mo te noho ki ngā wāhi kāore i te tikanga - mai i ngā tāone kauta ki ngā takotoranga takitahi - tuku iho hōkai rangatahi te whakaaetanga kia whiriwhiri i te wāhi e noho ai rātou, engari kāore i te wātea o ngā kāinga ōrite. Ki te ao e whakamana ana i te āhua māmō, ko te āhua o te kāwai pāpaku hei 'arere atu ki te rere' ko te tino aronga.

Ko ngā kaiwhai ao tākarotia kei te hiahia ki te roa ake i te wāhi mo te moe—kei te rapu ratou i te huihuinga. I tēnei wā e pāngia ana e ngā whakawhitinga matihiko, kei te hiahia ētahi ki ngā hononga i te ao tūmatanui ki ō rātou noho wāhi. Ko ngā whare kōngahu e whakawhanake ana, e mātua kohikohi ana ki ngā 'pā kōngahu', e whakatō ana i tēnei momo huihuinga kotahitanga. Ko ēnei tāone whai whakaaro e kohikohi ana i ngā tāngata e ōrite ana ngā whakaaro, e wāhi e tākarotia ana e ngā kainoho ki te tāwhai, ki te whakauru ki ngā kaupapa, i te whare wātea rānei ki te whakahaere i ngā hui tōkotoko.

Kuawehi ki ngā wehenga mātāwhio nui, kei reira ngā whare e wehe ana i ngā taranata me ngā ara kawe waka, ka whakatenatena ngā tākai waka i te whana. Ko te rahi iti o te hoahoa ka arataki i ngā hoa noho ki te tawhiti poto pea, e māma ai te whiwhi i tētahi kapu huka, te tūhono ki tētahi roopu māra mo te mutunga wiki, hekei te mahi tahi i tētahi wāhi tūmatanui. Ko tēnei kaha o te takotoranga he taonga motuhake mō ngā kaimahi ringa kaha e pōpō ake ana ki te tāone, i te wa e mahi ana i waho i te tūmatanui, i te mea ka tuku mai i te kāwenga ā-whānau me te rōpū whana. Ko ngā hapori waka anō hoki e whai tikanga ana i ngā ratonga tāngata—pērā i ngā kauta tākarotia, ngā takotoranga paparangi, hekei ngā wāhi mahi tahi—ka whakapai ake i te kounga o te oranga i te wā kotahi me te muru i ngā utu takitahi. Pakadonu, ka tuku i te pai rawa atu o ngā ao e rua: he whare takitahi, he hapori kaha.

Kua pahure ngā rā i ngā whare kōngahu e rite ana ki ngā pouaka paraihe. Ko ngā hoahoa o tēnei wā he rerehua, he ākiki, me te māmā noa iho te whirinakitanga anō hoki, ka tākarotia ai ngā kaimahi ringa reka e kite ana i te āhua. Ko ngā kaihangahanga, me ngā kainoho anō hoki kei te whai whakaaro hou ki ēnei hanganga, e tāpiri ana i ngā matapihi nui, ngā jardenamato papaku, me ngā tae kaha hei huri i ēnei kōngahu ki ngā wāhi auaha, ā-whakaatuwhātata. Ko te āhua momotuwhenua o ngā kōngahu e whakaae hoki i ngā whiriwiri motuhake: ko te whakapilinga i ngā wāhanga hei hanga whare e rua rūma, te hono atu rānei i ēnei hei waihanga i ngā takotoranga horopaki me ngā rūma nui me te rere o ngā wāhi.

He tautoheke te mōhio ki te whakapai ake i te kounga o ngā rākau, ā, he nui ngā tikanga e hāngai ana ki te whakapai ake i te kaha, te pakaru-kore, me te roa o ngā rākau. Ko te tātari i ngā tikanga pūnaha, te whakamahi i ngā tikanga hanga hou, me te whakapai ake i ngā tikanga tiaki rākau, katoa ēnei e āwhina ai i te umanga rākau kia tipu haere, kia mau tonu hoki i te ao e hāngai ana ki te taiao.

Hei mutunga, kua tūhono ngā whare kōngahu ki te hunga kaimahi rangatahi i āwhina ai i ngā pātuinga matua o ō rātou reo: te pūtea whirinakitanga, te arawainenga ki te taiao, te whakarereke, te hapori, me te āhua. E āwhina ana i ngā hunga kaimahi rangatahi e whakamārama anō ana i te tikanga o te 'kāinga', ka tipu ake pea te rongonui o ēnei pouaka hou hokai hou. E tuku ana i tētahi huarahi mahi tika, kaitiaki, me te koiora hei whakakapi i ngā whare tinana—ka whakaatu nei ko ngā whetū hou e rite ana ki te whai whakaaro i waho i te pouaka (tuku).
