Don't know how much of it is true but it sounds like there's lots of money to be made in real estate in Auckland.

What the racist person writing that drivel fails to realise is that a huge portion of the migrants that they hate so much are employed in the very same building sector that is responsible for rectifying the housing crisis.

 

At the moment New zealand is building more new property than any other point in its history and most of those skills are imported.

 

The government have stated that over the next 5 years they will reduce the number of immigrants from 70k to 12k as they are achieving there targets.

 

Most kiwis are looking for a silver bullet to resolve the housing problem. There isnt one. The only sustainable way to do this is a multi level approach that takes time to implement as well as people.

Thanks man. Got the flu again also - 3rd sickness for this winter, and I consider it a good one. Last winter I was sick 8 times.

from the day i arrived here i have been taking a multi vitamin. I knew the stress would get to me and make me sick so i fugured i would need to help the old body out a bit.  Havent been sick yet but did feel a bit off after spending a few hours in the cold of the snow planet.

Stay away from Riverhead in winter (confirm this with Niterider) it is an absolute mudfest and will ruin your bike. Woodhill a far better option...

Winter? What Winter?

 

Clear skies here on the South Island!

 

13deg and sunny (feels warmer though)

No winter here. But for some reason my gutters are clogged up with cats and dogs.

 

And don't go to Riverhead in winter unless you're a huge fan of deep clay mud. The WCRC tracks can be rideable if there's been 5 or so days without rain though.

I am coming to Wellington so if you want to meet up E1A104, also going to Christchurch Patches if you keen on a beer?
