With Sir Peter Jackson and Dame Fran Walsh buying the land, that seems like a surprisingly agreeable outcome...

Thoughts?

The logs go out on ships regularly. Forestry and selling timber overseas is one of our better industries. I know it doesn't look that lively but trust me it's generating economic things.

I want them to just build some more dense housing in the suburbs that connect well to the central city, so people can live and work there without having to own a car or commute from afar.

Thanks. As for building in the suburbs, apart from petone where else could handle another 500 occupants? (And that roadside drive is regularly saturated as it is!)

Without going all SimCity and rezoning and destroying something like Mt Vic, the only other idea I've got is high density apartments where Reading was

There's lots of places even in the central city that could fit some apartment blocks, I think.
