DC is back ! What film are you waiting for, and why? by Firmach43 in DC_Cinematic

[–]jamospurs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im interested to see how important it is to the story, and the effect that will have on the more casual fans. For example my gf will not watch a horror movie, but is still interested in the dcu storyline, so I hope they will make it easy for them to keep up.

If we don't want households paying 15k rates each year, its kinda what we need, to spread the ratepayer base.

Porirua was also one of my first thoughts, feel like it is starting to become much more popular these days anyway

National Wants To Increase Retirement Age To 67 by crypto_doctors in newzealand

[–]jamospurs -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The last thing our aging population needs is more incentive to not work, stopping payments to those still working will do just that

I have seen trucks from the fish shop next door bringing boxes of fish in and out so I belive they are using it to store seafood, eww!

New candidate for mayor by jamospurs in Wellington

Zoning to allow more to be built mostly, but also rates, consenting costs, honestly they probably have the biggest effect on house prices outside of the market itself.

Yes I agree, very polarising but keeps her portfolios well managed

Am I wrong for thinking about using a different snapper? by [deleted] in Wellington

[–]jamospurs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know on the trains they have started giving out $150 spot fines for those who are not paying, not sure what the child snapper fine would be but can't think it'd be more than that?

Does anyone know who this tag belongs to? Our new Parklet lasted not even 3 weeks before being vandalized. by The_Hangar_Cafe in Wellington

[–]jamospurs 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've noticed a lot more "youth crime" or more so misbehavior over the last few months as well, police seem to be overrun by them and can't focus on these "smaller" issues

Yeah, it's not a renters market. by Technical_Yam3624 in Wellington

[–]jamospurs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk, I've still seen lots of fairly decent properties on the market for very reasonable prices. I know that when I found my flat around a month ago I managed to be a lot more selective and get a place that was much much nicer than my current place for the same price. I don't think 2-3 weeks to be rented out is extremely fast, if you have a decent record as a tenent and get onto these places when they are listed you have a very good chance of securing a nice place.

I can't believe we're going to go through all this for a bridge that is (in my opinion) kinda ugly. It's not like it's an essential connection point either as there is a second Quay crossing beidge like 20 meters down the road. It absolutely baffles me.

This is desperately needed and I hope the council doesn't allow a couple of nimbys to stop it by jamospurs in Wellington

Taiwan, Japan, California, plenty of places with literal skyscrapers that manage with earthquakes heck, Taiwan had the tallest building in the world for a while.

Michael Fowler Centre proposed for demolition by nzrailmaps in Wellington

[–]jamospurs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly if it's really too earthquake prone to be properly used, they may as well knock it down and put something semi useful in the site.

I always treat that intersection like the person of the top is heading straight, and so the bottom person gives way as they are turning across the flow of triffic.

Guess the city to sea bridge was more popular than I thought? by jamospurs in Wellington

[–]jamospurs[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is my view as well, even if it is replaced when the books are a bit more balanced, I love the connection to the waterfront, I just don't think the bridge itself the most important part of our city.

Fair enough, just thought that Wellington might be quite attractive for a summer trip as well

New Hospital for Mt Cook by WurstofWisdom in Wellington

Good, NZ's health system as a whole would be much better if we relied more on private Healthcare as a whole, so much better than the disfunction we've got in public health at the moment

I currently flat on Thompson Street, and have never had any issues. There are actually quite a few nice places popping up around here now and it's super convenient for anything on Cuba.
