@steffenrusten.bsky.social I need to find the reference and the accuracy of what I am about to say, but it is Auckland I am specifically thinking of. My source is either Grant Duncan or Bernard Hickey.
Roughly speaking - Wayne and the gang in Auckland donโt want too many skyscrapers and the National (not National The Party) Govt want to limit encroachment into the 'green an pleasant lands' .. which begs the question - then where do we want to build the extra housing for the necessary expansion?
