Remember when cafés only had cow's milk for coffee (maybe one alt option for $1). Now you can choose any milk at no/small cost. Or decaf, iced, to go etc. Many coffee options for diff prefs.
Our housing system, like café coffee, is better when there are more choices for people.

I agree with @cjsbishop there is a problem when it comes to affordable housing. But I don’t want any more instructions from Wellington on how our city is developed.

Making Auck’s planned tunnelled light rail a street level option would save over $5.6 billion which can be redirected to fund light rail in Wgn & Chch too. #TheTimeIsNow for @NZGreens #greencities #transport & #climate plan. @JulieAnneGenter
Greens Transport Spokesperson @JulieAnneGenter says their policy to get more light rail into major cities
She argues that, in Akl, the above ground option, surface light rail, is less disruptive overall than plans for underground
“Dominion Road was designed with trams in mind.”
What’s happened to the “weekly” Inside Parliament Podcast good people of 1 news? @felix_desmarais @lilhanly @MutchJessica @CushlaNorman @nzbenedict - you were going so well! But then nothing since May 11 :( – at Auckland, New Zealand
Rain still pouring down in Onehunga! @AklCouncil and @Auckland_Libs Library staff doing a great job, keeping books and people away from roof leaks. Community assets like this deserve all the investment in maintenance they can get! – at Onehunga, Auckland

New Side Eye, this time on parental leave for partners. Why is NZ one of the worst countries in the world at assuming one parent (and guess which one) has to do it alone?

It’s days like today that Auckland badly needs a “Cloudburst” plan - streets and public spaces ready to act like sponges to protect climate vulnerable communities from extreme rain. Copenhagen released theirs in… 2012… en.klimatilpasning.dk/media/…

Got to spend some time today checking out Melbourne’s excellent “Level Crossing Removals” project- which dramatically improves train services while at the same time creates spaces for people, bikes, play and art in the space below the elevated track! Great work @levelcrossings
