KiwiBuild gives the government the ability to use smaller and more compact houses to drive these larger urban moves that will make our cities more walkable, more affordable, more environmentally robust. If you disagree with these things, or the efficacy of this approach, then great, let's debate that ...
Government and urban designers need an ongoing communication campaign to explain what shape cities we are heading towards, and why.
Examples both local and overseas are great. Useful idiots in our media must be countered every time they promote the car and road-building industries.
The long lagtimes mean we must shift urgently now or climate change will strand many urban people in car-dependant sprawl (and who knows how our minority of rural dwellers will fare). I enjoy driving but it is not our future, and nor are acres of separated houses.
