Upper Hutt Gone In A Blink
Two weeks ago Upper Hutt was the the most expensive city, town or council area in NZ to rent a house. Now it is not.
Two days ago Upper Hutt had one of the poorest rates for Covid 19 vaccinations in the Wellington region including the Wairarapa. Now it is not.
Either changes happen quicker than the speed of sound or the two pieces of news were dated before they were relaid to the world.
With rent, UH has been superceded by those you would bet your inheritance on as being from number one to number 10.
With vaccinations - only Wellington City with its millions of civil servants, is ahead of UH.
What's next? Sudden stunning proof that Upper Hutt is enjoying a better, warmer climate than Lower Hutt?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
