Yeah it's not as bad as it was, with people renting out the garage or granny flats for $500/wk, still not super easy though right? My parents got super lucky when they moved there in 2015, it was peak insanity then.

Blue V is the best, followed by green, then the rest of the stuff is so gross it's impossible to say which is better.

NZ's teacher have good hustle. In protest of pay and working conditions, there was a one-day strike of primary and high school teachers today comprising 50,000 teachers, or, ~1% of New Zealand entire population.

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=nz%20housing%20crises https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_property_bubble https://www.trademe.co.nz/property I paid $800k for an extremely modest home in a pretty rubbish part of West Auckland. My wife and I will be close to retirement before we are mortgage free. But we can't complain because there are huge swaths of our population living in "emergency" accommodation in motels, garages, cars or just on the street. The in build/proposed "affordable housing" projects start at $600k and are typically in locations that involve multi hour commutes to job hot spots. If you rent, you'll be covering some boomers mortgage (plus some) that they got a decade ago and they'll still complain if you ask about that heat pump and double glazing.

That's $520k US, don't know how that compares. If you don't mind a smaller town, you can get a nice house in somewhere like wanganui for a lot cheaper, decent amenities, couple hours drive from Wellington and great climate.

These are speculative prices in a fancy part of whanganui but are probably fairly close to the value.
