That is a huge generalisation, and in fact this article is about affordable housing which therefore contradicts your point.

Auckland is not affordable, but Wellington has higher wages and relatively affordable housing. It's still probably high by international standards (but not by the companies that we get directly compared to, namely Australia, Canada, and the UK).

There are certainly cheaper areas, but what they gain in affordability they tend to lack in jobs, internationalism, vibrancy, services or climate.
