@Sloane: sure no problem. I suspect the answer is mostly just because it is the largest city in New Zealand by quite a significant margin, and is also economic capital (despite not being the capital city).

To be fair, there are a lot of things wrong with Auckland: the traffic, the weather (most of the time), the lack of public transport, the massive urban sprawl… but I think it is too easy to pick out the things that suck and complain about them.

I am going to try to balance things out with a little bit of love.

For people who are not in the know when it comes to Auckland or New Zealand (my bad) can you explain why it gets a bad rap?

thanks

I agree bro, so much so I’m going to copy-cat this idea on my own blog.

Haha, yeah, I probably should have just dived straight in. The old dilemma – to introduce a topic or just go at it?

Promise there are actual things I love to come.

Did read now. But disappointed to find not even one pro Auckland thing. Awaiting the real posts. Are they that hard to write?
