Prime minister in a crowd. She's the one with the phone.

That picture makes me feel claustrophobic.

That picture makes me feel claustrophobic.

Not touchy feely or just been a while?

The pandemic in the US a nightmare. If that picture were happening in the US, the next few weeks there'd be a surge of cases. No social distancing, no masks. I have 2020 PTSD, but without the "post" part.

We don't have to worry about Covid to much but they expect the border to be closed until 2022, 10 years of crap economy and there's a housing crisis that's been going for a few years but has got absurd.

Yeah. I'm jealous that you guys can do stuff like that.

I'm jealous you can buy a house in America for less than half a million dollars.

Depends on where you live.

175k acterage in my city

Depends on where you live.

Here it's more or less everywhere. Whole countries turning into California or Seattle.

Last I looked we had 17000 houses left total and with Covid 40000 kiwis have returned.

At that rate probably gonna be full up by the end of the year. Nurses for example are going to struggle in the cities and that's where the hospitals are.

Even in the boondocks our equivalent of the rust belt it's still several hundred thousand dollars. I think that place had prices go up 27% in 3 months.

That's the cheapest part of the country. Covid borrowing money is essentially free and it's been building over the last decade or two.

175k acterage in my city

Even with the currency difference that's less than 300k NZD. You probably couldn't get anything locally at that price, at $280k USD you can get a do'er upper.

And I live in the cheap city. Aucklands basically double that.
