The Herald called it New Zealand's least affordable city shocker. But when you think about it, it's not really. Tauranga, in the mighty Bay of Plenty, is now less affordable than Auckland.
We also got the news that rents in Nelson are higher than Queenstown. Is that another shocker? I don't think so.
This is, in fact, news to celebrate. Why? Because regional New Zealand is booming, and you can see why.
A mate of mine quit TV last year, sold up, opened a shop in Nelson. And why wouldn't you? He's probably sitting in the sun, selling his wares, going to Ruby Bay for a swim on weekends, going to Neudorf for lunch and wondering what the hell he was ever doing commuting over an hour to work each day in Auckland.
And that's why Nelson rents are high - because the place is brilliant and people want a slice of it. If you're a regular to this programme, you will know we've talked extensively about Tauranga, in the Bay of Plenty… of everything.
