it's insane how quickly NZ has:
- abolished single family zoning
- abolished parking requirements
- abolished min lot sizes
- legalised 3 stories everywhere
- legalised 6 stories near major transit & job centres
- legalised unlimited density within city cores

I use a Pixel phone to receive all my calls because it can create an automated telephone tree that unknown callers must navigate. It works well enough, but it's clearly a solution at the wrong level of the stack.
