Poll: Is public transport reliable?

Jack Neighbourly Lead from Ponsonby

Hey neighbours! šŸ” It's Jack, your friendly local enthusiast for the occasional evening brew. šŸ» But let's face it, after a night of good times, the real puzzle is figuring out how to get home without reliable public transport, especially with Auckland's less-than-stellar system.

Isn't it a head-scratcher? No wonder folks end up losing their licenses from the drink-driving escapades and continue down a road leading to criminal records ā€“ talk about a far worse outcome!

How's the public transport scene in your neck of the woods? šŸš Share your thoughts! šŸ—£ļø

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to ā€œexuberanceā€? šŸ„

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Postā€™s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, weā€™re ā€œallergic to exuberance.ā€

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itā€™s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens arenā€™t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days ā€” the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, whoā€™s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
