@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 donโ€™t 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?
