The most livable cities

So Auckland dropped 33 places just because of few Covid cases ? It is true that we had a peak of Covid cases this year, but it was never really massive by international standards.

At the same time, Auckland is pretty dead for a while now, especially the CBD. Traffic is not that bad, but we haven't recovered at all from Covid. We will see in the next few months if cruise ships and tourists are back or not.

Auckland is lovely - if you can afford to live there.

NZ is not cheap indeed and Auckland is insanely expensive (managed to buy despite the crazy housing market), but nice beaches and awesome for sailing !

Yeah, I was really surprised by how nice the beaches are in Auckland when I first travelled up there.

I had thought, given how many people live around them and use them, that the beaches would be crowded, or ruined with litter, but nothing of the sort.

And the water is so much warmer than our South Island beaches.

Some of the central beaches are sometimes crowded, but many beaches are just empty. Went for a swim today and water was fresh (16 degrees) but refreshing !

Where are you based ?
