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?
Excellent condition. Comes with all trains and accessories. Pick up Karori.

Five piece drum kit with throne and a set of sticks included. Really good sound for a first drum kit, not used a lot as my son lost interest.
This raclette/ gourmet set was purchased in The Netherlands a couple of years ago . 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 … View moreThis raclette/ gourmet set was purchased in The Netherlands a couple of years ago . 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 … View moreFor a sale is an old but perfectly functioning Mitsubishi Electric 26L Dehumidifier.
