Might be a good idea to let developers swap more and see if there is any uptake.
Do you think there is anything else that could be easily done to get better outcomes?

I don't know if they don't do this swap at all because they think buyers prefer private space over shared, or because splitting it would compromise the usefulness of both?

One other faucet is that it is that in the district plan you are required to have a certain amount of private outdoor living area space. You can swap about half of this for a communal space if you want to, but I don't know any developers doing this
I *think* this is a good example of this in action

Shared spaces might be seen as a bit risky because people haven't experienced it much in New Zealand and are scared of the downsides. Maintaining / managing such a space, what if you don't like the people etc.
Again all speculation.

Hey, post author here 👋. I love shared outdoor spaces, super interesting topic to me personally so sorry for the dump here:
All speculation here: I wonder how much is cultural? When buying a place people seek to lower risk as much as possible, maybe because of the extreme expense of housing?

Thanks, will try to keep an eye out for this in plan changes. Reckon that council could be convinced to not do it.
We've got no parking miniums anymore, but the parking that does get built due to market demands is really important.

Not sure to what extent this changes things in New Zealand. I’m under the impression that the current standards are baked into our district plan and it’d be a mish to update to the latest

To me this just sounds like the same outcome with additional steps?
And aren't most people actually mad about the reallocation within the economy? (yes overly broad statement, impossible to really know) Generally from their consumption to whatever taxes are spent on, or from private investment.

Listening in to the audiobook. 8 hours in and like 6 of it he’s just listing disasters and stats about disasters.
Decent content, in a “wow, glad that’s not me rn” way. But uhhh is this just the book essentially?

And at least for the 2002 - 2011 period, it's a similar story as to where the money comes from and goes.

Auckland is the growth laggard in comparison here. Over the last census period Canterbury grew at 1.66% pa, Auckland at 1.06% pa.
Of course Wellington is considerably worse, grew at 0.55% pa and is inexplicably getting dramatically outsized funding.

My read is that the 42 million is not including any local road changes, which needs to be funded in later stages.
