Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Tall Poppy Syndrome: A Cultural Phenomenon of Cutting Down Success
Tall Poppy Syndrome (TPS) is a pervasive social phenomenon where individuals excelling in their field are criticized, resented, or undermined. It breeds a toxic culture of mediocrity, suppressing ambition and discouraging success. Driven by jealousy, insecurity, and cultural conformity, TPS cripples confidence, deterring high achievers from reaching their full potential.
Victims experience isolation, anxiety, and self-doubt, fostering imposter syndrome. This silent epidemic stifles innovation, weakens leadership, and harms mental health. Overcoming TPS requires celebrating achievements, fostering supportive environments, and reshaping societal attitudes. Breaking free from this mindset unlocks progress, empowering individuals to rise beyond unwarranted criticism.
For a bit of fun, neighbours.
