only if the value the work brings does not increase, and is not more fairly shared.

Thanks.
In fact, Auckland has grown faster than the high population growth forecasts.
Which continues the long-term trend mentioned at that Akl Conversations session in 2012, hence Council benchmarking projections against the high-growth line.
Fools like Auckland2040 and a certain mayoral candidate continue to insist medium is enough. The same blinding ambition that saw clip-ons needed for the harbour bridge. I can say this stuff as a non-employee. :)

Yet tens of thousands in the Auckland region accept that as a standard part of living here. Sad, really. We need to move jobs and homes closer together. Evidence shows that aint by laying more lanes of asphalt.

Don Matheson's paper is frightening.
Yep. Can't connect to the MoH site from home lately (strange glitch) to download the Strategy to read for myself, but the way he describes it seems perfectly consistent with the direction of travel since 2008. Won't end well.

However ..
Experts believe Auckland's housing crisis may be lowering the city's birth rate, as young adults shut out of buying homes are forced to live with their parents.
