1163284 2010-12-20 07:08:00 OK

Japan is the same size as NZ and has very few natural resources but they have 100 million people, and I think their standard of living is probably much higher than ours.

(may be not quality of life, pollution huge cities etc)
But I am only advocating say 12 million people not 100 million.

Surely standard of living and quality of life are inherently linked, if how good you have it is measured purely on your buying power then everyone has missed the point massively, and such rankings are meaningless.

1163285 2010-12-20 07:58:00 So, why do all the people moving to Australia mostly go to big cities ?

Sydney and Melbourne, both with nearly as many people as the whole of NZ.

And if all of you who think that a bigger population would not be good, do you think that a smaller population would be better ?

Sydney is a shithole, but then, so is Auckland, And Auckland is just a pretend big city.

Wiping out 90 percent of the the population of either city would be a good start.

Thats why I migrated here would there be any other reason to move to New Zealand?

Btw, City I moved from to here had 256,000 the city I was born and spent the early childhood in has around 7.5 million! Guess why we first moved from that city?

I don't think anyone's proposing a smaller population.....in any case, people coming in here would mostly go to Auckland, Wellington, Chch....and Auckland's a craphole as it is! :p

I was once living in Tauranga some 14 years ago. Used to take about 1/2 hr to get from Greerton to town. I note there has been a lot of building since then.

5 minutes from my place to the CBD now and not a traffic light in sight. :)

You are right about the traffic lights, I think they have build more traffic lights on Cameron Road than they have house.

1163291 2010-12-20 19:38:00 All the people who go to Oz go for the money that's true few go for the lifestyle as Oz doesn't have one and lets face it most who go to Oz have been living in Auckland or Wellington, a large proportion have only been here just long enough to get NZ citizenship and never had any intention of staying here they use it as a transit between leaving some huge city in Europe and moving to some big city in Oz (I have met a lot doing that as NZ is easier to get into than Oz) gary67 (56)
