That little (in population) modest city called Upper Hutt is now been awarded whatever for being the most expensive city or town in NZ to rent a house/rental domestic accommodation.
Unbelievable yes but there you are.

What has gone on to create this monster of unaffordability called Upper Hutt that not many years ago, people wanted a name change because of a reputation of criminality?
Not much as far as I can see. Maybe a whole lot of factors that somehow add up.
Has climate change made UH less icy cold. Has new and improved amenities (Brewtown etc) given UH a breath of fresh air. Has working from home made travel to Wellington and Lower Hutt and over the Haywards less having to frequent. Has more job opportunities locally given a boost. Has new housing raised the bar for renting ( a brand new tightly sized two storied 2 or 3 bedroom apartment style house in the Wallaceville Estate is going for $700 a week rent, $36,000 per annum). Has the many open spaces of UH getting recognition. Has UH as a dog ownership haven, being recognised. Has retailing in UH turning a corner, gaining recognition. Has our close proximity to the Wairarapa - Marinborough in particular - being a factor.
Goodbye Auckland, hello Upper Hutt - for the time being.
All regions outside of the Auckland and Northland region will move to Alert Level 3 11.59pm Tuesday August 31.

In a press conference Friday afternoon, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern confirmed that Auckland and Northland will likely need to complete a further full two weeks at level 4 in order to keep the Delta variant from spreading further in the regions.
Here's what you need to know
- There will be regional boundaries, there will be no travel allowed between regions unless required for essential services.
- Boundaries maintained in the last February lockdown will be reinstated.
- Around 500 locations of interest have been identified.
- The exposure site in Warkworth is a large workplace. Ardern hoped the people of Northland will understand why they're moving with caution. Northland won't always be grouped in with Auckland.

Hullo Neighbourly folk.

Children love celebrating their birthday but with social distancing and bubbles birthday parties are no go under lockdown.
When Emery Macleanβ set out on her morning lockdown walk with mum Abby Vogelβ and big sister Avahβ she quickly realised this one was extra special.
Within minutes the 4-year-old spotted a collection of balloons tied to a gate β and the shocked girl was told by her mum they were for her birthday.
It is lovely to see neighbours pitching in to help the youngster. If you have a birthday or a especial anniversary (wedding, 21st etc), have you thought about how you are going to celebrate it?

It is also a fantastic time for those of you working from home to check in on your set-ups, and make sure you are doing everything you can to limit the postural stressors on spine. Check out our video below from lockdown last year to remind yourself on how to set-up a spine-friendly workstation at home!
Couple this with daily movement, good food, water and rest. ππ₯¦π¦π΄
