I have some sympathy for protecting what the agricultural/horticultural lobby would refer to as productive land, and would prefer we build cities up more than out. But to do either well infrastructure & planning is the important bit.
I generally agree with building up rather than out. That’s what they do in the rest of the world. Unfortunately kiwis seem to be allergic to living in apartments.
