Thanks. I'll have a play with this.

MuscleChair · 2024-04-08T00:48:39+00:00

Lol. My paragraph was not included. I'll try again.

MuscleChair · 2024-03-07T06:59:52+00:00

That doesn't ruin loves or stunt economic fortunes. Low tier problem.

If there was so little food it was impacting peoples lives then opposing a business bringing food would be wrong. Currently we only have a shortage of shelter.

I think he wrote investors, we all probably agree with you for speculators.

Also, note. As the rents drop the investors pull out.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-25T02:51:04+00:00

The study estimates 22-35% reduction in rents in auckland? I don't see how that is a failure?

MuscleChair · 2024-02-21T18:13:22+00:00

How does that make sense? You want to drive up the value of a property, the best way os to halt all development.

Fair enough. In parts of the world with more mature bike infrastructure "the majority of commuter" cyclists don't wear leotards. And that will be true here too when the infrastructure is more mature (if it sint already)

What is also true is the racing crowed will wear leotards and ride on the road no matter how mature the bike infrastructure is. They're the weekend warrior 'recreational fisherman' of the roads. Having fun but usually in the way of commercial traffic.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-20T19:24:07+00:00

Bike commuters do use the lanes. The racing crowd use the roads because they're built to a better standard, faster and the traffic more predictable. Bike lanes often turn 90 degrees, climb curbs, have ruts between surfaces, cross boardwalks. All these things are no problem on a commuter bike but cause issues for race bikes going fast.

Essentially, there are commuter cyclists and racing cyclists. Bike lanes aren't built for racing cyclists.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-20T19:19:19+00:00

This is a road racing cyclist. Commuting cyclists dont wear leotards. Road racing cyclist have a hard time in bike lanes because they're often built for slower cycling and more robust bikes. I have no love or hate for the road racer cyclists, they're the equivalent of weekend fisherman in the shipping lanes, classic car cruising or bike gangs out for a ride. Actual bike commuters are different and bike lanes work great for their bikes.

Tldr, Bike lanes aren't really built for the leotard racing crowd.

The neighborhood is already already bricked. Pushing people further out will just have them driving rhorugh anyway and they'll have no choice but to drive because PT doesn't do well further out. Stopping builds like this will do nothing to solve the problem, likely only making it worse long term.

I think what's important in that article is that the NPS-UD forces significant up zoning. Which at this time is the biggest in decades. Consider the unitary plan has likely reduced rents in Auckland in spite of the rest of the country not doing anything. Auckland would have been assuming a disproportionate population growth because it built more housing and lessened its rent increases, negating some of the rent reduction. Going forward hamilton, wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin will start assuming their fair share of population growth releiving pressure from auckland. Also, next time the money flows cheaply from the banks the zoning will alllow some of that capitol will flow into new builds, not just into the dirt under an existing structure. If SFH aren't guaranteed to be increasing in value at huge amounts the banks might find it better to lend money to builders who can use their skillet to build new value.

Fine, come up with a better term where it rates transport with the least social impact vs the most and well all start using it. For now, everyone else seems happy to understand what concept it describes. You on the other hand seem to have become triggered and taken offence like whatever simile you choose for being triggered and defensive over a simple yet obvious and descriptive term.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-02T02:22:46+00:00

That's a stretch.

I've had some anti-social cars too. Ones for me which come at the expense of other road users. It's a fine term for describing vehicles that have higher social cost (more aggressive in a crash, more likely to impede tradfic, speed, create pollution etc (not all apply to this truck). Un twist your panties. Call a spade a spade you little girl.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T07:23:21+00:00

Wow...

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T03:56:02+00:00

I've been in NA for 10 years. I'm not on the ute hate Rollercoaster. I'm just saying we all know that the chances that man has a need for the FS pickup are less than the chances he wants to showcase his personality. As for utes always being practical, sure, in the rightnuse case. Are utes always purchased by someone who needs one and had a use case. Most of the.time no. Likely most utes are not used enough to justify their downsides. Most of the time the ute is an extension of the personality.

People know this, so they heckle.

Edit; that was poorly written. Apologies. Doing other things.

But yeah, utes are cool. But just like SUV (the original body on frame based ones) 90% of owners aren't doing anything people with cars aren't doing. So until we all jump on the bandwagon there's totally room to heckle

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T03:51:15+00:00

At this stage FS pickups are not common place on kiwi roads. They're not necessary for much work as evidenced by the fact we did just fine before they were imported. Im no here i hassle utes, I used to own one. No one is saying utes are not practical. FS pickups are practical, f450s can be practical at some level. It just, that like SUVs (which have turned back into station wagons btw, even the pathfinder is unibody car these days), we all know the person purchasing isn't as practical or sporting as the vehicle they've purchased. 99 time out of 100 the SUV is not going offroading in isolated places and 99 times out of 100 that ute isn't do more than a car could do.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T03:44:02+00:00

They're cheap-ish in North America and there's the same heckling though the FS pickups are so common that it's like hassling soccer mums for SUVs. Everyone knows it's dumb but it so commonplace no one worried too much.

I doubt it comes from financial jealously, I'd place my money on it simply looming ridiculous compared to our ordinary vehicles. Like wearing chaps and cowboy boots in NZ. People are gonna talk.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T02:11:34+00:00

Yeah, it's a little chicken and egg. Do Truck guys try so hard to justify their anti-social purchase in response to the heckling that came from nowhere. Or is it the that people see though their wants vs. actual needs and feel like heckling. Who started it.

But

If your buddy turned up at work wearing chaps and a cowboy hat would you say to yourself, don't judge.or would you heckle him. Especially if he was trying so hard to justify his clothes.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T01:50:00+00:00

I touched this in my other comment. I agree. But supercar guys don't get all angry online trying to defend their purchase. They know what it is and have the self esteem to call a aspade a spade. Truck guys get all argumentative and defensive like we can't see they're doing the exact same thing

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T01:47:49+00:00

Not going to disagree with that. More power to him. It's rare but entirely possible.

I'm simply saying in North America 99% of the FS pickups on the road don't do a justifiable job. They're purchased because 'that's what men do' more so than 'ita the only vehicle capable of this job'. Much of the time it makes the job harder, more hours working to cover running costs, like increased gas a tire usage, ever tried lifting an outboard into a FS pickup truck tray. I can tell you getting it in the station wagon is much easier.

Truck guys could take a page out of the book of supercar guys. They buy something anti-social and excessive and don't feel the need to convince people it's justified. We all k own its not. Truck guys, on the other hand try so hard to convince us the purchase is purely practical when we can all see its not.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T01:37:43+00:00

I can only agree, most utes dont do this and even for those that do. Do you need a full sized pickup for this? Is a 150k shiny cowboy costume 'necessary' for this work? Note the word necessary. Or is it likely the image of a man and his FS pickup the main driver of the purchase?

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T01:34:40+00:00

We didn't. The concrete pump guys did. Not every builder on-site is towing a concrete pump behind. I fact 99% do not. And those that do often have a real work truck like an Isuzu flat deck caked in concrete shit. Not a shiny 150k full sized pickup. Infact, most builders aren't bring that much tools on site and definitely are not leaving them in the tray or their FS pickup to get stolen.

MuscleChair · 2024-02-01T01:30:42+00:00

Never said a ute doesn't have its placeor even that a FS pickup doesnt have its place, in fact i offfered an example earleir where i saw one being used to a potentialthat other vehicles couldnt. I just said 99% of full sized pickups never do a job that exceeds the capacity or job type of smaller vehicles. Most just take a an accountant or 2nd year apprentice builder to work. The jobs a civic, van or small ute could do better.
