    Wouldn't have thought you could build homes that close together. The gutterings look to be only 300mm apart.

    + if you work in the city you get to drive in bumper to bumper traffic crawl for an hour or so....or if you get up really early you can park at the Park n Ride and train it.

    Thats what happens when you have GFC, lower interest rates and flood the place with cheap finance to kick start the economy....people buy

    assets and the prices go up.

    The plan is to have us all in them, going to work, coming home, watching netflix,buying Uber Eats,crap from Alibaba and staying poor.

    Jacinda may have different ideas but as NZ was described in the weekend on one paper as " a speck in the ocean"

    Sadly I think what we have is now the norm.

    I'm unsure of how the rising prices are affecting the rest of the country but I've noticed Rotorua going up.

    Wages are static, not sure how that works.

    Maybe it has always been the norm - the common denominator is people and we are all products of the the same process turned out by almost identical factories.

    The narrow margin for difference is possibly why division and deception are such effective tools in controlling the masses? - Develop need and exploit greed?

    Hard issue for sure. If people in power would stop being such cunts, everyone could stay at home tending their fields or whatever they make a living doing.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Basically a sleep-out garage with a designer "decor". A fucking insulting approach to housing.

    Quite a lot actually.
    First, NZ needs to get away from this mentality of "Must have a 1/4 acre section with a house on it" for it to be considered housing.
    Second, apartments are the way forward to big-city living at an affordable price.
    Third, anyone who wants a large section to maintain while sitting indoors fucking around on their "mobile-devices" cannot complain about being arse-raped by the council for exorbitant rate bills and hoses being "unaffordable".

    Additionally, there are the beginnings of proper public transport due to an increased centralized population base which demands (& can fund) these systems.
    Lots of options. Just fuckwits demanding a house & land that they don't really need or can't pay for. Buy small, get onto the property ladder, move up from there.

    [First] Thought that had long since disappeared - less is more in most applications for today IMO. (people don't tend/need to grow or farm food any more now.)

    [Second] Agree.

    [Third] Agree - horses for courses, property should be fit for purpose and needs rather than "affluence" metering and measuring.

    [additionally] Most people (in NZ) believe public transport is for "other people" to use.
    Older people should be encouraged more to downsize according to their diminishing family requirements.
    I.E. there are lots of old people still tied up to their almost empty family sized homes with sections to match that they can't physically look after any-more!

    What a waste of space.
    They havent even taken a 9hour plane ride to study how governments of high density populations were handling the problem with ease over 20 years ago.

    No mate but the tooth fairy managed to blow $80k on a trip to give more of your tax money to coconuts that aren't even in NZ.
