Windy Wellington 🌧 "O" Shacky Isles too.

It was better before convicts came

It was actually affordable before they let Chinese money buy land and homes for equity and speculation, rather than for housing.

Pre socialism

James, 1936 Labour are the reason you only work 8 hours instead of 14. They're the reason housing was increased after WWII. They're the reason you have free healthcare paid through others and your own collective taxes. They're the reason you get subsidies from WINZ if you become unemployed. That IS Socialist policy. This old trope of "Socialism bad, Capitalism good" is a fallacy. The reason we HAVE an economic divide so large now is because Capitalists would rather prioritize profit over employee pay rises, or take cheap workers from other countries instead.

@Gary Lewis thats part of being a migrant you leave home, and make home away from home. Kiwi's have to be quick and adapt and move with the times, be innovative. The internationals I have personally spoken to when I used to live in Nz, and ones I met abroad. Their common views is Nz is behind the times and slow. They will walk over Kiwi's to get ahead. In their home country it's competitive they fight to get ahead and it's the norm for them (particularly Asian, India etc..) And you can bet when they reach Nz they won't change. And it gets a little worse when they are successful in their career and they have a mortgage on their first house, they'll compare themselves with Kiwi's this is what I've achieved in this amount of time and your still renting? I think you get the picture.

@@t.macneil7048 yep ..you are correct

That’s very deep, perceptive and sadly true. Why is that? I’ve always wondered.

Correct

Out of curiosity, are you talking about Great Britain or other migrants?

‘People come to visit from all over the world and marvel at the beauty and the friendliness of the people’ . . . i), The problem is that too many of these visitors were allowed to migrate permanently, thus irrevocably changing the culture and character of the nation, ii), New Zealanders haven’t been particularly ‘friendly’ in decades, and iii), what the hell mind-altering euphoria-inducing substance are you on anyway, datura?? 🙄

We hate that your generation the boomers destroyed New Zealand by turning it into New India

Who allowed them to migrate? Blame yourselves and your brothers and sisters, not the migrants. ​@@edwardcatt2399

I was born in 63 as well!

Now nz is a hell hole!

Heading quickly towards third world status if aunty Cindy has her way.

@@gsd4me00 you mean we are not already there? I'm 55,born/bred kiwi,grew up in the seventies.And whilst people reminesce about the "good ol' days,it really was a better place back then. Sad to see what NZ has become.

Yup then the boomers created gangs and imported immigrants. And now their grandchildren are called racist.

@@servantprince HI Marcus, sorry what do you mean?

The house I live in was built during this era and survived the 2011 earthquakes. Many of the newer homes didn't.

@@martinharris5017 very true, it seems that all new subdivisions got redzoned, all the houses that cut corners and were built on swamps!

@@jeremy_sr Sadly, the council back in the 80s quietly had all the geotech maps made by DSIR changed because "it won't happen in our lifetime" thus allowing houses to be built in places no house should have been built. Being the first house built in our street, the builder picked the highest point on a solid base. We watched houses around us literally sinking into the ground, while our home never even got the dreaded liquefaction. The guy that built the house either had a few clues or just picked lucky!

What a kiwi thing to say. Ignorant to the fact that NZ relies heavily upon the tourism industry and immigrant's labour.

@@chesca7295 I wasn’t speaking on behalf of New Zealanders. That was just my personal opinion. I was lucky to be born 80 years ago. It was all gravel roads back then . When you drove past a farm the farmer would stop work and wave, they saw so few people. You could drink the water in Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown. Today on the news it has a mass of green slime in it. Still being examined. You actually don’t know what you are talking about.

@@chesca7295 no-one needed or wanted them. that's politician's doing, not ordinary people. tourist includes all the work visa student visa morons that don't speak English or follow the rules.

ikr, I was born in 1976 and I remember back in the 1980s and 1990s, social media didn't exist and I spent most of my time riding my bike, hanging out with friends, reading books and mostly doing things outdoors. But now social media has ruined this generation

Beautiful wasn't it? Now kindergartens are full of Indians. You boomers threw it all away

A lot of Americans say they live in the greatest country in the world, Lets keep NZ our little secret 😂

And a bunch of the demographic population was essentially replaced.

@@stover14 Huh? What are you talking about?

@@danieleyre8913 im saying that is aso part of why New Zealand doesn't feel the same anymore

@@stover14 But that’s never happened.

@@danieleyre8913 yes it has? look at demographics of New Zealand in the 60s and early seventies, probably like 95% of the population was pakeha or Maori. our demographics have changed significanntly how do you not know about this?

Unfortunately, Auckland has turned into a toilet.

@@sandhopper599 I agree 👍

Very sad that there’s folks can’t see beauty in Auckland and the rest of NZ. Do I live in a parallel universe? I see beauty in Auckland and surrounding area every day.

@@sallydeb Auckland is a beautiful place, unfortunately the amount of people in emergency housing is terrorizing the streets

@@taniasouth I don’t deny there is a concern but I feel quite calm walking around the streets. WTF?

This is the video they play in India

@@mbz25no they played in UK for the convicts

"But the people....hmmm". Really? What do you mean by that?

The people are the best thing about NZ.

I’m a kiwi. And I’m awful.

hmmm... New Zealand has some of the most down to earth people

don't ever come to our country if you dont like our people, our country isnt some commodity.

@peterjones not so - it's my lived experience. My perspective is subjective of course, but it was real.

Back then, it was Mt. Egmont!

what? most land was bought, where do you get your history on new zealand from?

stolen land lol you probably don't even know where half these places are how the fuck would you know the ins and outs of the land transfers in that particular area? absolute melt.

Land was purchased and we are still paying for it !!.Stop reading your history from the back of the 'cornflake' box.

I learnt that from the people of the land the rightfull owners !! And ue say we who's we ??
