Same. I have a car but currently use it only once a month. Wish Dunners had shared cars.

that's ~90,000 people striking, for those of you not good at maths

Fair point, everyone is different but this is in the middle of the city with good bus routes. A lot of city apartments don’t have a car park for each person. This is the same for Wellington and Auckland.

More and more people who actually live in the city center tend to walk, cycle or use the bus.

It’s up to the new owner to use land use consent, so up to the new owner if they are actually going ahead with it. So not clear yet;

Oh this is exciting if this is going ahead. Resource consent has been approved for this 5-level development comprising of 12 self-contained apartments; five one-bedroom and seven two-bedroom units.

Whether against Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, Ghahraman, Ardern, other MPs, Wiles, Bloomfield, & others involved in pandemic response, transgender activists, drag queens, judges, lawyers or academics - effects of doxxing are inherently harmful, & often leads to kinetic violence or vandalism.

Because I am spoilt for democracy, I have now walked the 130 metres from my office to the nearest local elections ballot box and deposited my voting papers. Honestly, when it was that easy it would have been embarrassing not to vote.
(I have also prompted others in the building I work in)

If your bike lane can't do this... Go back to the drawing board.

"Bollards are expensive." Uh...not when a row of them saves you the cost of building sidewalks.

Any ideas, dear hive mind?… I made this rather good looking map on some random free mapping website last year, but now I can’t remember what it was. Help! #GIS

Haha yeah I need to get in on that. First moving though 😅

Haha aw thanks!! ☺️

Thanks 🤩

Haha true that.

It is!! Didn’t even think it was possible for this poor millennial 😅😂

Just some native plants that will attract local bird life and plants that will soak up the rain would be great. A low maintenance garden would be ideal 😁

Yep, totally. Some grey days here but lots of sun too. Hoping the next government actually gives some subsidies towards solar 😎😁

It is. Town centre a bit quiet atm, just need a good cafe open in the weekend and a good pub / bistro and it will be buzzing! 🙂

😂 the only way because they aren’t even open during the weekend. And I do love a good coffee 😋😁

VOTE!

Yeah I’m so stoked! Completely renovated so brand new kitchen, bathroom, double glazed and central heating (ducted heat pump), but next project will likely be the garden 🪴 🪏 - what’s it with kiwis and their grass obsession lol 😂

Also, got triggered by @paullecomtephoto.nz and his post about solar😂🤔

Thanks ☺️

It is! Would definitely not be possible in Auckland and also had to wait 3 years until I could use my KiwiSaver, but we are finally here!! 🙌😄

Oh yeah! I have just gone unconditional on my first house. So exciting!! 🥳

And obviously moving to the best hood of the city, Caversham. 😎Lots of town houses going up here, close to the beach and city with a cool little town centre. Although will be missing my morning commute along George Street.

My theory on why the CoC-up govt is determined to announce this punitive youth benefits measure now:

They're trying to force unemployment figures to appear decreasing from this quarter. The CoC-up govt is desperate to point to unemployment figures to claim success 'we've turned a corner'.

Hello, are you in the hospital? OK you are using government. But did you do a poo in the hospital toilet? That’s pipes. Council. Did you get driven to the hospital on a road? Probably council unless it was a motorway straight to the hospital door. Are you in school? Fine that’s government. But did you use a pedestrian crossing to get to school? Council. Did you go on a bus? Again, council.

I have been back at The Spinoff for a while and once again I am doing very well thank you thespinoff.co.nz/politics/06-...

we need a word for a type of person who spends all their time working to live in a city so they can be near cool things, but they don't actually like going out

A friend in Berlin just sent me this. Lovely buildings + policies that support the greening of frontages and streets 🏡

In Paris, many tourists will use the shared e-bikes rather than the bus or the taxi, partly I think for the fun factor.

We just made this graph showing most people in the world could get by on just some solar panels and batteries.

The X axis is basically latitude, but we filled in how many people live between the equator and a certain latitude.
The Y axis shows the amount of solar and batteries needed
