It's dumb that our debates about cities are like
"should our cities just have single family housing or should there be be townhouses too?"
when the contest of ideas should be
"should our cities be solarpunk or cyberpunk?"

Photos can’t capture the scale of this station.
I think Karanga-a-hape may now be the coolest building in New Zealand

Maybe the most surprising thing is not only Karanga-a-hape much cooler than most other buildings, I actually think it’s also head-and-shoulders above the other CRL stations
Although Te Waihorotiu and Maungawhau both great!

Pretty much everyone who has experienced Karanga-a-hape Station (or the rest of the CRL) has had the same reaction:
"wow, it feels like we're becoming a real city"

Actual truth is NZ is increasingly celebrated internationally as an example of planning reform - started by National in 2016, continued by Labour and now going forward again under this government - working. In two decades of often poor public policy we should celebrate this.

Zohran just cited Minneapolis, Austin, and Auckland as cities that lowered housing costs via upzoning
certified ball knowledge, Auckland is a deep YIMBY cut
