The local body elections feel like they’ve been dragging on all year but they finally to an end on Saturday. To me this election feels like there’s been a lot more heat than light and I guess I’m not the only one given that so far, we’re tracking for the lowest number of votes since Auckland was amalgamated in 2010 with as of last Friday just 15.1% of people (162k) having voted.

LIGHT RAIL TRADE-OFFS Light Rail. Being on the surface makes for much cheaper, but still expensive, construction. Sydney’s new light rail cost about A$2.2 billion for 12km of tracks, trains and depot. That’s about $180 million per km but did include a lot of challenging services to move and streetscape upgrades in the city centre. THE CAUSES AND ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF RISING REGIONAL This is a post from Peter Nunns. See Part 1 here and Part 2 here..

Emergency housing: The only short-term housing category, defined as stays of up to 12 weeks but often intended to be much shorter than that.REDUCING TRAFFIC
