It took a long time, but today I published this Spinoff Cover Story about my visit to Sen̓áḵw – and why it matters for iwi-led housing in New Zealand.

@ScootFoundation You can't beat Wellington on a good day

No more architectural renderings of the Gordon Wilson Flats. Society has progressed past the need for architectural renderings of the Gordon Wilson Flats.

@AbsentHog @StuartBDonovan @rustie5555 All we know for sure is that you Can't Beat Wellington On A Good Day

That thumping sound you hear is Ray Chung’s lawyer concussing himself against his own desk.

Had a chat with Hosking on ZB this morning on our proposal to make it simple for new grocers to enter the NZ market.

Thread here on it!

Wellington's recovery beings

Wellington public transport use is above pre-covid levels with bus significantly above and rail a bit below. Compared to London, Sydney & Auckland, the bounce back in Wellington is significantly ahead in all areas. Also striking is the increase in weekend public transport use. 1/

I have a fixed and narrow view that water is wet

But you could just have raised rates to pay for the increase in things councils are required to do?

[Local Government NZ @lgnz]

This graph shows the average money central gov. has received over the past few decades, compared to what councils have. Meanwhile, the things councils are required to do have only increased – as have costs. That’s why we’re pushing for more funding tools for local government.

@urbanistfromwhk Legalise it for Mount Maunganui....

Why is this bit of Cuba not just being pedestrianised?

[Ethan Manera @ethanjmanera]

WCC’s proposal to widen the footpath on Cuba St between Vivian and Ghuznee has seen 50 shops on the street sign a petition, saying the removal of car parks would stop people from visiting their businesses

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

if you see a zonked ostrich, you think we should build more housing

[orange? @generic_orange1]

There is no other way of putting it. The new Wellington District Plan is the biggest, fattest W in the history of the Yimby movement in New Zealand.
