Shortland Street is in ARANUI..!
It’s next to that wonderful-scent from the sewerage treatment plant..!
Lots of gang culture and bogans, hoons and parasitic women searching for their man living in Merivale, Ilam or Fendalton…as is the culture beginning at the high school!
Stay away from ‘rental property investments’ in the area, all along the shore of Chtristchurch, as this is a tsunami zone, and will soon be uninsurable due to being next to the ‘rising sea level’ caused by ‘Climate Change’, formerly known as ‘Global Warming’…!
