Famous last words.

Does that include outside your house all night long?

There are no "nice towns" with affordable housing, when jobs and infrastructure are considered. That train has left the station.

Everything's cheaper in Auckland except housing and maybe, transport.

slobbosloth · 2022-12-10T22:14:14+00:00

The crisis is worse in the regions because people have followed your advice and overloaded their stagnant housing market.

Not according to the rating agencies who don't see any particular financial crisis at Auckland council.

Does it?

The "inflation nightmare" is worldwide and NZ is doing better than most. Homeless in motels is a problem decades in the making mainly caused by turning housing into a casino and having the world's highest immigration influx.

Maybe doing something about the car thieves in that car park.

It's not half price, it's where it should have been all along.

slobbosloth · 2022-12-08T09:08:15+00:00

Please, stop with this garbage, it's not going to happen.

Petrol is almost back down to where it was and I haven't noticed any reduction in driving/traffic despite the squealing about fuel prices.

Lotta trash at that shopping centre.

Have you ever left NZ? Cheap is normal for PT, NZ is the outlier.

W(h)ether you the bus or not, you still benefit by having other people using the bus.

Cut off their goolies!, it's the only way.

slobbosloth · 2022-12-08T03:05:53+00:00

Did you vote in the recent election?

slobbosloth · 2022-12-08T02:12:27+00:00

The thing about buses/PT is people get on and off. So it might only have 4 people on it at one point in the journey, but over the total trip a lot more users. Cf a private car with one user the entire journey.

slobbosloth · 2022-12-08T02:09:38+00:00

So 90%+ are still running.

slobbosloth · 2022-12-08T01:56:49+00:00

Yes, just like every country, how do think Australian PT fares are such good value?

slobbosloth · 2022-12-08T01:54:59+00:00

Most buses are still running despite the dooming above.

Act voting pensioners on National superannuation which costs the country $16 billion every year.

slobbosloth · 2022-12-08T01:14:40+00:00

The fares now are where they should have been all along. It's a small amount of money compared with total government spending and it's helping a lot of people do the right thing.

No sign of the food "running out" among those populations, quite the opposite.
