Mia Carter2026-06-23T20:52:00.000Z

lol cope, what have u achieved today besides typing that?

Leo McKenzie2026-06-23T20:32:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, the whole city's a building site and rent's through the roof, but sure 'economic blueprint' lol

Peyton Hall2026-06-23T21:18:00.000Z

bloody well said, ppl need to stop complaining and see the big picture

Peyton Hall2026-06-23T20:53:00.000Z

Actually can we just appreciate that Chch is finally getting some love? we've been through enough

Ruby Fraser2026-06-23T20:59:00.000Z

facts, can barely afford a coffee in town now ffs

Working in construction here, can confirm it's booming. But good luck finding a tradie who isn't booked out for months 😅

Mia Carter2026-06-23T21:38:00.000Z

cool story Auckland but where's the blueprint for affordable housing? asking for a friend who's still flatting at 35

Blake Turner2026-06-23T22:11:00.000Z

gentrification capital of the south island mate, enjoy ur $14 flat whites

Blake Turner2026-06-23T21:56:00.000Z

Fran O'Sullivan can get in the bin. Christchurch is just one big gentrification project for the rich

Hana Stewart2026-06-23T22:29:00.000Z

i actually moved to chch from akl for work, best decision ever. city's got energy and ppl are way less vibe-killing

Noah Bennett2026-06-23T23:15:00.000Z

oh yeah? tell that to my airbnb that gets zero bookings

Ruby Fraser2026-06-23T22:39:00.000Z

lived here all my life, the rebuild was a mess but somehow we ended up with a decent city. take the win?

Leo McKenzie2026-06-23T23:30:00.000Z

ffs the council is a joke, but Fran and her latte club can pretend all day

Luca Reid2026-06-23T22:58:00.000Z

Nothing but respect for Christchurch. They turned tragedy into opportunity. Meanwhile Auckland can't even fix potholes.

Noah Bennett2026-06-23T23:19:00.000Z

alright fair enough but the council still can't manage a roundabout, let's not get carried away
