I love auckland's viaduct, but I hate that they have it and Wellington's waterfront is now old and tired - it really annoys me the a series of governments have funder improviements for Auckland and not the Capital!
Tbf it's not just central government's fault. Wellington has had an extremely dysfunctional local government since ages ago, with the crucial bloc having apparently decided that the city was perfect in 2003, don't fudge with it. In contrast - in the Supercity Era at least - Auckland's local governments have tried to do something, even Grouchy Granddad Wayne who IMHO is like Trump if Trump were surrounded with sensible people. Len Brown in particular needs a medal for dragging central government kicking and screaming to the City Rail Link

And believe me, I'm not a Viaduct type, I'm a K Road type, and the new train station there will rule
