NZ is a great country with wonderful people. But I wonder about the wisdom of apocalypse-proof property on an island that is prone to earthquakes. I have seen how far the waterfront receded in the 1931 Napier earthquake. [1] Christchurch has still not fully recovered from the 2010 earthquake. When you think of "geological" or "tectonic" shifts in the landscape, we are not used to thinking in the order of decades.
