Hey Wellingtonians, the city loves to call itself the "The Coolest Little"Capital" but a group of young professionals reckon its a myth.
The capital has long sold itself not just as the seat of government but also a city with a vibrant cultural and culinary scene.
A group of 19 people aged between 25 and 40 and working in IT, engineering, law and accounting firms were part of a project looking at how Wellington is perceived.
Their comments form the basis of a report that was sent to councillors and local MPs over the weekend.
Many of the young professionals moved to Wellington because of its promoted personality and character. While most said there were lots of good things about the capital, they said that expensive housing, crumbling infrastructure and a lack of jobs meant there was a widening gap between the city’s sales pitch and the reality of living here.
What do you think?

House for sale - Khandallah

Long story short we got the house we are in now and although we ended up using an agent we had our offer in before it was advertised.

When we first looked at the house it was far from market ready.

Now looking for the reverse. We are considering selling but are a month away from listing. There are a few cosmetic things we need to do. If you know anyone looking please let them know. Its 1950's, 4 bedrooms, double glazed, two living areas, separate dining, double garage, loads of storage and double garage.

Easy 2 minute walk to the the train station.

It is still in the original box ( I think it has been used once) and has been stored away for a while. It is great to use with up to 8 people ( family or friends) and It is fun to cook meat, seafood, chicken and vegetables on the non stick hot plate or make a Swiss raclette with the individual little pans. There is very little preparation involved. I have printed some recipes in English as the original ones were in Dutch. The plug needs an adapter ( provided) but you may prefer to put a NZ plug on it. $80

For a sale is an old but perfectly functioning Mitsubishi Electric 26L Dehumidifier. It was the top model offered by Mitsubishi at the time (now discontinued). Made in Japan. Excellent Reliability. This will suit perhaps a student flat or a bach.

Selling as upgraded to newer model. Please note that the water tank has a small piece of plastic broken off (see photo) due to age but the flap can be opened using your finger tip to empty the water.
