@StuartBDonovan @urbanistfromwhk I think generally Wellington feels more walkable because it’s smaller? Yeah it’s cool and compact and flat, but it’s almost walkable by mistake rather than design.

@timClicks @coughlthom It's from 'Longevity and the public purse', a speech prepared for Dominick Stephens: treasury.govt.nz/sites/default/…

@coughlthom Which average? Presumably median because the distributions must be heavily skewed. Do you have a link to the paper?

Treasury doing some cool things. Tax and transfers across age brackets

@jdeheij Like, Tauranga has excellent coffee. I just have to be in the back of an industrial estate to get it.

@jdeheij My position is this: Every city in NZ has at least one cafe that can produce excellent coffee. I rank a city above another because I believe that if I walk into a random cafe there I'm more likely to receive excellent coffee.

@TheGerryEdwards Will never forget being rear ended at the lights by the racecourse.

@steffenrusten We had some laughs on there

@juhasaarinen @nzherald How much growth if we reach the speed of light? Infinite?

110km/h speed limit on SH1 Orewa to Warkworth to ‘unlock economic growth’, via @nzherald nzherald.co.nz/nz/110kmh-spee… To do what now?

@ScootFoundation i.e. I'm worried how broadly this could be exploited

@ScootFoundation here's hoping? I've read the thing. Am worried they'll relent on some stuff and allow workarounds, like the speech seemed to suggest they would in city fringe areas.

To understand the scale of potential that including "strategic corridors" offers: If you were to upzone 800 meters around every corridor with a ridership of 500k+ trips per annum, you'd capture almost the entirety of the isthmus
