  • Auckland's completely unaffordable and also a pretty soulless place. It's like Reading but really humid.
    Now Dunedin, that's cheap. My friend just bought a 3 bed house for 60K sterling. My other mate is a bike mechanic, his wife's a nursery teacher, and last year they bought a brick-built 4-bed house, double garage, nice garden, for 110K sterling.
    I could go out and buy a family home tomorrow, cash. But we're moving back to the UK. Cheap houses and mountains aren't everything in life.

  • Of course in Dunedin you stand more of a chance to have your house reduced to a pile of rubble due to seismic activity
