Idiot/Savant reminds us of a likely feature of absentee landlords voting in local govt elections:
people will be disenfranchised in their own communities, outvoted by absentees with a strong interest in undermining the services they depend on in order to minimise their rates bills.
Not clear how far this will go but it doesn't look pretty when put together with Hide's other moves to restrict Councils' incomes and scope of activities, or with Auckland's history of under-investing in our future to keep rates down today.
And everyone has a swimming pool and tennis court in their own backyard, right?

Webweaver's comments a couple of streets over:
That's a heck of a lot of money to spend on making a movie. But it's not as if the studios were going to give the money to Greenpeace or Oxfam or the Red Cross and decided to spend it on making Avatar instead.
I loved it.

Mac's Light has always impressed me - way nicer taste than some of the 2.5% 'lite' beers. Means you can have a few without impairing your drive to the next event on the seasonal carousel. Cheers.
