Yeah, it was definitely the "progressive left" that spent years and cost the Christchurch council millions to fix the broken cathedral. Not right-leaning old people at all.
> They demand more deference be given to traditional tribespeople over and above the progression of cities.
I think you mean "they think that Maori shouldn't be fucked over by the government more than they already have been".
> No one stands in the way of housing more than the left in this country.
Frankly, housing in NZ is not a political issue, it's an economic one. Regardless of your politics, no one in the middle class is willing to fix the housing crisis, because it will mean a lot of economic pain.
Also, as much as I would like to see housing sorted in NZ, I also don't want it to ruin what's good about this country. If you want an example of how to ruin an area with building, look at Queenstown.
