Queen Street Up&Down Walk Tour - Auckland, New Zealand [4K HDR] 

It's my pleasure

What's ugly?

Yes, you’re right, interesting times ahead.

I remember reading somewhere (It was a real estate article) that Auckland's and overall Nzs population is predicted to decline in the coming years as people migrate over to Australia for better opportunities. Net migration will be lower.

@@AllTimeHighAotearoa Well Auckland is still projected to surpass 2M by the end of this decade, so don't know if the decline will be felt more significantly in other parts of NZ. However Australian PM's have been drumming up the Big Australia policy for decades now. Populate or perish, even Adelaide has seen a surge in numbers recently as has Tasmania, Adelaide is pushing for more highrise and the international student market, set to also reach 2 million. NZ has probably not bought into the populate or perish mantra quite as much, but it has the same land area as the UK with just as much population carry capacity. It is more a lack of political will than anything else at this point in time.

Newmarket coming soon, probably next weekend 😀

Unfortunately, Auckland is still in a lockdown, so there are fewer people on the streets now

🙂❤️🥝

Thanks for your comment. I just live in Auckland CBD so I know exactly what you are talking about. Yes, there are unfortunately a lot of bad, sad and unpleasant things here. Nevertheless, I try to look primarily at the positive sides of New Zealand - and there are really many of them (especially when it comes to nature). Greetings and all the best! BTW Where are you living now?

moved to Brisbane?

Every major city is like that dumbass

Where do you live now

I'm trying to think, the last time I was in Auckland -- not sure if it was before Covid or not. But the streets were teeming with people, especially around Quay St and Customs St. Maybe 2020 or 2021. ish.
