An Auckland councillor says people shouldn't read too much into yet another change to Auckland's density plan. 

The Government revised the Super-city's minimum housing capacity for a second time yesterday, settling on 1.4 million after continued push-back in some suburbs. 

Last month it reduced it from two-million homes to 1.6-million.  

Councillor Richard Hills told Ryan Bridge the latest number just feels like political game playing. 

He says legal requirements mean it'll likely end up near 1.6 million regardless.
