Upper Hutt Gone In A Blink

Michael from Trentham

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With rent, UH has been superceded by those you would bet your inheritance on as being from number one to number 10.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?

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
