    From what I understand, New Zealand is basically the most car-dependent country in the world.

    They are spending billions on cars, roads, highways, car insurance, tunnels, giant parking lots.

    But they are spending no money on housing. There is basically no apartments.

      What? No chance we beat the Americans, or the Australians for that matter. The current government are car brained morons, and I can’t really speak for the other major cities but I lived in Wellington for over 10 years without a car and it was fine. I know more people without cars than with them
