What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
