More reesponse to proposed building heights.
"I think the height is going to be an issue for some property owners," Paul Lonsdale from the Central City Business Association told TV ONE's Breakfast.
"You've got hotels that were traditionally 30 metres but now they're restricted to 17 metres.
"I suppose what I would suggest, if that is enforced, is they build a structure that could take another 13 metres at some later stage when people's mood changes towards the concern around earthquakes."
Lonsdale supported the moves to create a smaller CBD, saying it would create a vibrant focus for retail activity.

Southerly: One Hundred and Thirty-one…, in reply to Joe Wylie,
Also, none of that professional planning restricting the superior intelligence of the free market. Every city can look like downtown Auckland if they're left alone.
[Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce chief executive Peter] Townsend said the plan needed to provide an "aspirational framework", and should not be too prescriptive.
"If they're going to strictly limit the areas of retail space that you're allowed to occupy or if there's too much restriction on where in the city and how high it can be, I would rather see that done through sensible community consensus ..."
Someone do ask him what he means by that last phrase.

though I accept a mono tag would be easier to implement, wouldn't you rather have tables? seems more generally useful

Be good to hear more about the key planks of a happy, cohesive social democracy and how we need to retain them in NZ.
An opposition could capitalise on the publicity, you'd think..
