Some experts say what’s happening in AKL and the north is on the same scale as the ChCh earthquake.

Temporary visas for labourers, and construction workers maybe the answer so we get the labour even if we haven’t got the materials.

I hope you’re coping with any damage...

We'd all be a bit concerned if our properties had dropped in value by 19% since November given the worst is still ahead of us. What the Stuff article suggests is - investors have probably dumped flats and apartments in the central city since November - and who'd blame them!
