Found ECan's public transport plan for the region, though I have no idea how this fits with the other transport plans from the Chch City Council and CERA.

I cannot now believe that anything humanity can build will withstand those forces
Seems reasonable. Idea is to make em easiest to fix/rebuild afterwards. Though that's all relative.

more likely to be someone reflecting an organisation's stance than a personal one

I've heard Northland is clear.

There's an 8% chance of an eruption taking place in anyone's (80 year) lifespan. Which sounds way too fucking likely for comfort.
Not guaranteeing my maths at all, but that seems like about once every couple of centuries. Eeek.

ChCh does have its tight "old" money parochial networks... Was this this new city focused design influenced by any of that?
It does help to think about whose interests are served by the relative private/public spending, risk, and returns.

If you look at the way the city is, it's clearly still got the memory of the old tram system in it.
Same with Auckland's inner suburbs.

Legal Beagle: Presuming innocence, in reply to DexterX,
Heard a sound bite today from Dishonest John banks - the gist of it all was that his innocence had been proven, that there was no wrongdoing on his part and he had been exonerated.
I just want to emphasise that this part is totally true, lest innocent readers believe it's satirical. The man is seriously proclaiming that the Police have 'cleared' him. Another downside of them behaving like a judge and jury.

I apologise to Keir and others for my reaction, and it was quite fair to pick up my less than constructive tone and reiterate the thread was intended to hear from current Christchurchians more than those who had lived there some time ago. It has been a crap week and I'm not always mature about dealing with it. Sorry, all. On with the discussion.
