If you were unlucky enough to scrounge together a deposit to buy a freehold shoebox in the CBD like me. You probably also lost 20-30% of property value due to inflation + living in a dead city during the last 6 years. My deposit is gone, I should have just lived in a car like many others since rent is equally terrible.
@@randomaccount53793 I sympathize, I had to leave Ak as over the years I had to move further and further away from the CBD until eventually I found myself in Glenview l, that was enough for me.
I swear as someone who has just finished Uni, I am glad to be at least somewhat less inclined to have to go to the city, cause transport fucking sucks, and as someone who hasn't got a car and is still on his learners, the trains being cancelled for most of last year sucked so bad. I had to get up earlier than usual and the 712 fucking sucks. THIS BUS IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I GOTTA WAIT 3 HRS FOR THE NEXT SERVICE CAUSE YOU CANCELLED ALL 3 BUSES THAT WERE EVEN AVAILABLE. I'm usually fine taking the 72's then walking, but if it rains I'm fucked. I never even put into perspective how shit and congested the CBD was until I went to Melbourne. How is a city that is larger and more dense got a more fucking walkable city centre that doesn't feel like your gonna choke on cig fumes or have to be diverted by construction on tiny footpaths that take fucking 2 months to finish
I'm glad that you've finished Uni, you obviously learned about language that I haven't heard since the waterfront days. But no matter about your transport problems, they'll pale into insignificance once Auckland builds it's new stadium that it doesn't need, then the lack of transport infrastructure will be something to complain about. Until then I guess those decision makers will think they're doing a good job. 😒
Bro, I went to Melbourne for a month, cruised around the whole city on public transport with ease then came back and really realised, like you, how crap Auckland’s public transport is! 😢
@@geofsmith393 it's crazy because by global standards, Melbourne's public transport isn't even that good. it'll get way better over the coming years though
@danieleyre8913 - I’d say that if anything Auckland peaked in the ‘90’s . . . The dip began around 2002 ~ 2005 and after that it launched into a nosediving tailspin that I don’t think it will ever pull out of and rise from. Nowadays I just think of Auckland as a ‘Pacific’ city like Suva or Apia (not an ethnic comment, just in regards to the level of dodgy infrastructure and generally lesser degree of development) 🤷♂️
As an aucklander I have to say you crammed a lot of accuracy and footage to back it up into a short clip. This was sadly accurate but very impressive. I promise it used to be better about 15 years+ ago.
At least since the 1990s it's been drab, underserved by public services especially transport, spaghetti junciton motorways alienate you from the place, traffic has always been bad whenever I've been. One third of Aucklanders said they would live somewhere else if they had the choice.

As someone who's lived in Auckland for over 35 years, I agree that in recent years, Auckland has been really screwed up. The Council is taking more of our money away while delivering less service. People of high calibre are leaving the city in droves to the bigger cities in Australia, and they are replaced by less qualified migrants. No one goes to the CBD anymore cos it's too difficult to find a place to park the car, lanes are being reduced to single to make way for buses and bikes, shops are closed down due to constant road closures for the unnecessary underground railway development. The city's unemployment rate is getting higher and inequality gap is getting wider. Not a great formula for prosperity.
Building the CRL is critical, whereas what you're advocating for - more roads, is the opposite of "prosperous". There has to be more options than just driving everywhere in Auckland. Traffic is horrendous for productivity and wasted time.... 😂
Auckland Transport & Ministry of Transport want everyone to have less inner city parking & less busy roads, less cars in the cbd & no planned parking facilities. They want you to take public transport in & around. Sadly, this concept isn't practical for many public users ( disabled, elderly, families with young children ) nor helpful to many retail businesses.

He forgot to say it took him a week to drive to all these places. queen street in the 1980-2010's Friday and Saturday night life was great. I walked down and up queen street at 9:30-10:30, police in groups of 3 everywhere Auckland council security in groups of 3, almost no one, no clubs or bars open very few people no buskers or street performers. but every doorway had a homeless person setup for the night.

@@luminisant I think it's just a cultural universal to hate on the biggest city in a country. But yeah for real Auckland is solid, the climate is good, the beaches are excellent, the food is excellent, and the public transport is non-existent. You can't win 'em all!
After watching that video, I have heightened respect for Auckland. The average kiwi hates Auckland because it's one of those cities with a horribly impersonal vibe where people just cover their own ass and don't give a f**k about you and where it looks like one group of town planners let another group of town planners take over the job and completely change the plans, rinse and repeat a dozen times, and you end up with a city like Auckland. 'Scaffolding dedicated to the Kiwis lost to Australia'. We should send our over-supply of cones to Australia. I woke up at 30 and realized I could have had 30% more salary living in Australia for the last ten years. This video's gold!
Can't believe you missed the two Albert park chinese takeaways with identical names right next to each other too. Really nice food. Also the spider in Avondale.
What westies are u talking about? Everyone I know is pretty regional here connecting all over Auckland and interested in the overall picture. Lived here all my life. Only people I know like what you describe are generally the elderly. Fuck all jobs or study places out here most go to central, north or south, as evidence by our choka trains - if they're running but prepare to hug someone and buses - WX1 on the NW you better have your monkey bar skills up to scratch so you can swing about whilst a standee - great workout, and motorway with 4-5 lanes all the way that still gets gridlocked. Also don't try cycling or scooting unless u don't mind bottles hurled at you and being shouted at or run over. Nice path along the motorway but good luck getting to it. Surprised there are as many brave souls as there are on there frankly.
Not everything is perfect. A lot of kiwis take things for granted and complains too much. For someone who comes from third world country, it is a good life.

Intelligent informed engaging visually appealing well articulated and pronunciated ... very Kiwi 💯🌟
I'm an Aucklander and actually quite like it here, but that was still a very accurate summary lol
How do people hate auckland so much, I really don't get it. Auckland is such a beautiful city with the most beautiful nature surrounding it.
@@luminisant I think it's just a cultural universal to hate on the biggest city in a country. But yeah for real Auckland is solid, the climate is good, the beaches are excellent, the food is excellent, and the public transport is non-existent. You can't win 'em all!
@@IsThisHandleTaken 😂😂😂 facts
You definitely cheer up people alright 👍 👌 make me wanna go back to mount Duitt 😂😂lol love your stuff Wes 👍
3:29 I moved around Auckland quite a bit but that’s literally a shot of the road that leads to my house💀
Sorry my old house
Ahhhhh Home 😊
i don't live in auckland but occasionally go there for various reasons, only thing i can remember is that basketball court at BK
After watching that video, I have heightened respect for Auckland. The average kiwi hates Auckland because it's one of those cities with a horribly impersonal vibe where people just cover their own ass and don't give a f**k about you and where it looks like one group of town planners let another group of town planners take over the job and completely change the plans, rinse and repeat a dozen times, and you end up with a city like Auckland. 'Scaffolding dedicated to the Kiwis lost to Australia'. We should send our over-supply of cones to Australia. I woke up at 30 and realized I could have had 30% more salary living in Australia for the last ten years. This video's gold!
As an Aucklander I agree Auckland used to be a lot better and a lot safer a long time ago 😢
The CBD was to accurate, especially queen street and wynyard.
Nz is like 90% vape stores and convenience stores selling pies
Can't believe you missed the two Albert park chinese takeaways with identical names right next to each other too. Really nice food. Also the spider in Avondale.
Not Albert park, Mt Albert noodle house x2 Right?
Supposedly it used to be one establishment and then the owners had a fallout and they split the place.
I live in auckland and it’s pretty cool probably different to other places
Well done, you’ve done a very accurate review! 😂
Been here 3 months and this video is accurate 💯😂 planning to move back to Australia
Bro you did the whole of they city😂😂love it brother
love how West Auckland was never touched upon, but that's good because we don't consider ourselves part of Auckland
I commented pretty much the same thing and then found that you'd already said it. West is Best
What westies are u talking about? Everyone I know is pretty regional here connecting all over Auckland and interested in the overall picture. Lived here all my life. Only people I know like what you describe are generally the elderly.
Fuck all jobs or study places out here most go to central, north or south, as evidence by our choka trains - if they're running but prepare to hug someone and buses - WX1 on the NW you better have your monkey bar skills up to scratch so you can swing about whilst a standee - great workout, and motorway with 4-5 lanes all the way that still gets gridlocked.
Also don't try cycling or scooting unless u don't mind bottles hurled at you and being shouted at or run over. Nice path along the motorway but good luck getting to it. Surprised there are as many brave souls as there are on there frankly.
Calling NZ “car dependent” is rich coming from an Australian.
Try using public transport anywhere outside Sydney or Melbourne. Good luck
He’s not wrong though.
Brutal lol!
I’m surprised Takapuna and Devonport wasn’t mentioned?
Why do you think LOL - that's one of the only nice parts of Auckland
As an American, based on this video, I'd move there
Don't.
You can stay, we don’t want you.
Not everything is perfect. A lot of kiwis take things for granted and complains too much. For someone who comes from third world country, it is a good life.
MY HOUSE WAS ON THERE, DA HECK
Can you do one for Wellington? I've been telling everyone it sucks for years and no-one believes me thank you
Not as bad as Auckland though
He has one for wellington
As a Maori who knows Auckland very well.. it indeed does suck.. if you like the fast paced lifestyle, Auckland may just be your cup of coffee
BRo :L : L :L Lmao Agree agree hahahha
SOUTH AUCKLAND RULES 👏🥹
