As it stands Auckland city is a dog. The downtown is an international embarrassment with a mix of undesirables that the council does nothing about, preferring instead to target good citizens with over the top enforcement of stupid uptight rules that threaten to strangle the city.

Auckland Council officers need to look at the way they interpret situations. Kiwis have had enough of rules that strangle them. Well, at least this Kiwi has. It’s time we challenged the ones that make no sense at all.
