- I have lived in New Zealand for 6 years and have recently gained citizenship. I watched this video from Sunday Roast about reasons never to move to New Zealand and it really annoyed me. So this video is my response from somebody who has actually lived in the country - unlike that computer generated video who clearly has never visited the country! I address whether there is any truth in the statements they make!

Great information and outlook. Also Kiwis fly a lot more between cities than we used too. So land connection if using public transport has changed focus.
Thanks for watching. Yes I didn’t mention that but we do, I often fly with air nz around the country for work and it’s super easy and efficient.
Our geography lends itself to air travel. Long and thin.@@emilyinnz
Can’t hear you over the music. The most important thing in the video is the audio always has been always will be can hear what’s being said leave like I did.
Yes it's quite annoying too. I only made it for a minute.
It's not what you can get by moving to New Zealand it's What can you give to make New Zealand a better place
So come to New Zealand and all your tax payers money will be given to the maoris to make their life better.
As an Aussie I love NZ and i love your honesty. People in the UK or the US are free to believe what ever they like about this part of the world. Why is it people in our 2 countries think we need to justify ourselves or convince others that they should come. here ? I love the fact that both Australia and NZ have the lifestyle we do we dont need to change anything. People are free to stay where they are and continue to think that they are in the best place in the world - no problem I.m sure we will continue to survive without them,..Kiwis have always been welcome to move to Australia and Aussies have always been welcome to move to NZ that should continue to be our main concern what others do is up to them.
The great thing about NZ is that you'll never have an illegal immigration invasion. Europe is being completely destroyed and it will be an Islamic 3rd world h3llh0le within the next 20 years. Our entire culture and way of life is being destroyed, and our politicians are encouraging it.
Cost Australia fortune to pay New Zealand. 😟
Did you want ppl to hear what you're saying or listen to the background music? Didn't hear much of what you were saying
True about cold houses. New builds now have strict building codes that include heating, ventilation, insulation etc. All new houses need to be fully insulated, double glazed glass windows and doors etc.
Landlords have to abide by the Healthy Home regulations, which mean rented houses are much warmer than previously.
Lol. Nz is great, massive wage increases over the last 2 years, inflation peaked lower than the Global average, crazy good skiing, hunting, fishing, golf courses!
If You're not a Loser, than NZ is a great Country to get ahead and live the dream 🙂
Love it! Thank you for watching.
What about crime, drugs and schooling? I guess these are taboo subjects.
Good job mum! I have only visited once in 2015 and loved it. I have many friends there now and would consider moving there. Currently in California, but getting ready to leave I in about a year. 65 years here has reached its limit.
Thank you for watching. Good luck with your next steps.
As someone who is typing this from New Zealand and has lived here my whole life, I need to point out a few things.
On the UPSIDE:
1) Our Government is among the least corrupt in the world according to Transparency International - we have been consistently the most or second most transparent (if it is not one of the Scandinavian countries (usually Denmark).
2) Our crime rates are still comparatively low compared to overseas countries, as is the level of police corruption
3) People come to N.Z. for the natural beauty, tourist attractions, our indigenous Maori culture and Pasifika history
- in many respects, despite recent deterioration we are still quite a clean country compared to many overseas
4) The slower pace of life and more relaxed approach to social lives will appeal to many who find the metropolitan areas overseas like London and Tokyo too fast and complex
On the DOWNSIDE:
1) We do have massive socio-economic inequity in this country, caused by 4 decades of neoliberal market economics where Governments have chosen cheap and nasty solutions to problems instead of investing in something that will work - the longer it continues, the worse it will get
2) Yes, things are expensive - because it' is a combination of short sighted government policies and some unchangeable facts, and we are a long way from oil producing countries and major markets
3) Our public transport - I've been to Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Singapore and four nights in London and I will just say now that our public transport IS an embarrassment and something that helps to guide my voting choices. SORRY to all who expected better.
4) We can be much better at reducing our waste output - I wrote a thesis for a Graduate Diploma on e-waste
So, to anyone wondering about this country, I say come and visit on a working visa first before you make your mind up - you get to see the country and some of the scenery; meet the people and see what it would be like to work here. If you are married or in a long term relationship with a New Zealander that is going to be hugely beneficial (saying so as someone with an American sister-in-law living here long term)
Cheers!
Thank you Robert for your comprehensive and well written feedback. It’s really good to have a balanced perspective from somebody who’s lived here your whole life. Thank you.
The labour govt was the most corrupt in nz history
Here's what you need to be a Kiwi - You left your place of birth because New Zealand Looked Better - so Leave New Zealand a Better Cleaner place than when you got here, Take only images & memories, Leave only good memories with your friends - don't try to change Kiwis or the way we live, We don't need your sanctions, wars & politics ... that's why you left where you were born and came here remember - don't try to turn New Zealand into where you came from
Absolutely - “leave only footprints take only memories”
Well said and totally agree. Same thing applies to Australia.
I'm sure us Kiwis appreciate videos about us.Immigrants new to this country specially benefits from clearly briefed on our culture and use of grammar is very helpful I feel he cost of living in this country is kiwi response to a global trend responding to a material world. Keep up the good work
Thank you very much.
I lived 3 months in NZ back in 1986. Absolutely loved it!
I like that we aren't devoted to convenience here in NZ. Yeah, stuff is expensive, but it's not impossible to live a great life. My UK friends blow out at our susceptibility to natural disasters, but our island's beauty exists because of them. The Southern Alps - tectonic formation and still growing, volcanic activity has shaped and tempered areas to be what they are. I live in Christchurch and yeah we got smashed, but you just rebuild and get on with it. Because of the lack of population and commercialisation, you can drive for an hour and be in a postcard almost anywhere. And, the land has an extremely young, but rich heritage. If you want culture, we have that. Breathtaking, untouched scenery? Got that too. Outdoor adventure sports? We excel at that. But it's not for everyone and I get it, that's just life. London, Tokyo, LA, wherever....nowhere is suitable for all people.
music way to loud
In the 1980s the New Zealand dollar was 1/2 the US Dollar. LAND WAS CHEAP! Kiwis were leaving NZ faster than immigrants were arriving. Those were the days to move to New Zealand, the only reason I didn't make the immigration cut was a DIVORCE which cut my income in half..... so much for the dream... Regards from The Netherlands.
This is a great and informative video, but may I make a suggestion, please lose the background music on future videos. UA-camrs seem to think background music is mandatory, that it creates a more professional video, on the contrary, it's irritating and serves no purpose, especially if it's louder than your voice.
Ok, thanks
music is distracting
As an immigrant 50 years ago from England I found, a tightly and highly controlled economy of exchange controls, interest rates, and huge foreign state debt carried by guaranteed cheap dairy and wool exports to the UK, but very cheap good quality retail banking not much technology, hardly any. Shocking housing conditions and build standards and quality, cheap food but good food for the most part, terrible unsafe driving, useless public transport, friendly but relatively cliquey people, pretty bad homophobia (it was the 1970s) clean beaches and water high rating for these, naievety about finance and economics locally and globally speaking that was widespread from street level to political level, incredibly expensive cars and large numbers of unsafe rusty cars. But the positive thing was only 2.9million people. That was the main attraction. We could say even today the best thing about NZ is the small population of about 5 million. Over the last 50 years the state sector and public infrastructure have continued to be run down, privatised, sold off. NZ has moved from being a capitalist society of socialist leanings, to a capitalist society under financialised and corporatised political control. It's still pretty good compared to the rest because of the lack of people, but on a per-capita basis it's far from clean and green, and all that marketing propaganda mbie and mfat put out to the world. If NZ had the same population as UK today, it would be in a worse position for waste, environment, climate and so on. We aren't very good on effectiveness and efficiency as we've been told by the UN. Too many govt departments pulling in different directions for decades. But still it's pretty good with only 5 million of us
Perhaps all the people whinging should apply to live in Russia, China, South Africa etc ?. There are much more expensive and dangerous places in the world with low pay, bad working conditions, housing, few opportunities etc. I wouldn't consider living in the US for eg, due to the crime rate, cost of health insurance, guns everywhere, - a dozen reasons. Everything is relative. The main question is, why are they wanting to move from their fantastic countries anyhow ? Do they expect to come here and be bowed down to ? -we would like people who want to contribute, and join in, not takers.
Thank you. That's very interesting. It's just too bad the music is too loud and makes it difficult to hear what you're saying.
I agree, NZ has a short but very interesting history. Many of the Europeans who complain that Australia and New Zealand don't have history or culture, don't even know much about their own.
I dont understand why people change from their own country and then just complain about the one they moved to. Move back then ! Or pick a new country. Such a pack of whiners.
The only thing that would bother me is how far it is from anywhere.
And if you're from Europe, your chances of going back home for a visit in your life-time - count them on one hand, at very best.!
Thanks for watching. Yes it’s expensive! We went back in July and had to make it a big trip. Flew with a 2 and 3 year old, 28 hours of flying. I have made a series of videos about it on my channel take a look.
It is no longer a 3 month voyage in a rat infested, wooden sailing boat.
@@ohdearearthlings1879
I know more than one immigrant who had the choice of down-under or UK. These people are qualified and have their own skilled professions.
They researched things very carefully before deciding which destination to take in life, and they observed from speaking to other people that it would not even be once per year that they would be able to return to Europe.
Here in the UK, they fly home at least twice a year to see their families.
@@JohnResalb Also in France fox hunting is still legal. NZ does not have foxes (or snakes). Fox hunting is illegal in Australia and Britain.
Most places in Europe are very far from anywhere. Surrounded by thousands of kilometres of cities and man made landscapes with no wild nature in sight, except for a couple of mountain ranges . I would rather live in a country where you can feel anchored to the nature of the place than just man made stuff. Australia, New Zealand, Africa, South America, Canada, Siberian Russia, these are such places where one can feel at home with the land and not just a transient ant or rat in a man made world.
And Everybody says HELLO!
So good to hear how you support you new country. The accent/speech impediment is difficult to follow. Can we work on this?
Thank you for watching. I have an English accent.
Although it caught my interest, I couldn't watch it due to the application of music muffling your voice. Too bad!
It’s not really expensive
the music is too loud and distracts massively from what you are saying which is very interesting
I still want to discover the south islland
It’s beautiful, get a flight to Christchurch or Queenstown and get exploring. I’m off to Abel Tasman next week and go to Christchurch monthly they are lovely.
I feel for all born and bred Kiwis, particularly for those who are becoming near the age where you arent in demand, because, the system has let them down
Too loud, the background music! I'm having a hard time focusing on what you're saying
It's a shame you have to talk over such loud music. This trend of loud music during narration on videos now is nuts. Please, either stop having unnecessary music/noise or turn it right down to barely hearable. It's up to you if you want more viewers. Thank you .
music too loud
You are absolutely correct
sounds like she works for the government because most of us are drowning under their bureaucratic weight. Thats why our working class are moving to aussie in their droves.
Thank you for watching. I don’t work for the government my opinions are my own.
@@leo1933 If you continue being a back door option for 3rd world immigrants into Australia we will need to review our travel agreements wih you guys. You need to toughen up a bit on your own immigration requrements and stop acting like a staging post.
The worst thing about NZ is Lucinda Hardon
We all know the smartest people are in Australia and New Zealand that's GG
Gypsy horses are mega pretty
The music is horrible along with the video....
Next time, make the music in your video less intrusive.
Racial tensions are rising..no one ever wants to mention it on any of these vids.
the music is distracting and louder than your voice
Turn the dam background music down! You don’t need it! I’m a kiwi and I prefer at UK!
Dude! Turn the music down!! What's the matter with you?
Dear English immigrants. We are okay with you staying in England 😅😅
Your vid doesn't need this music, or at least for it to be this loud while you're talking. It bothers me anyway : I stopped watching at 0:56 already.. Too bad.. ☮, jb
Its so hard to listen to you. The background music is really loud and distracting 😞
The loud music is terrible, and gave me a headache so had to stop watching.
But now you can move to Australia.
Whole lotta whining going on....cry, baby, cry, {or get a life...]
bad music
just leave then.
Yeah New Zealand sucks please don't move here! Tell everyone you know please! :P
I agree and will never return. Australia is home now. Moving here was the best thing we have ever done
Good night from PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Happy new year 2024
Happy new year! Thank you for watching.
@@emilyinnz
what a load of tosh....
Good info but.... Why is there background music?? It's so distracting.
NZ is great. We don't want to move anywhere.NZ is paradise.
Love it!
I love these videos... We don't want entitled people moving here - Aotearoa - either!
I've grown up here and had enough the house rentals are huge my income is used up. On another matter, I think if you shop around from Asian shops and markets the food choice is okay. Yes, Dentists and teeth care is bad.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@emilyinnz keep making videos
Turn your friggin music down, your hard enough to understand without the music.
Thanks. I messed with the music too much!
One big reason: having a woke , bordering on fascist government. I first have to see if Christopher is any better than Jacinda
just move to australia like most kiwis do :) joking
Yeah, and I've been trying to get back home ever since.
Love New Zealand, wonderful place beautiful people ! so they don't have Amazon, That is a step in the right direction!
I love New zealand. It's small and the population is small. That's the beauty about the place. I prefer to live in NZ than those other over populated countries. Homeless and poverty in those over populated countries. No better than NZ. I like NZ. Not too over populated. Just beautiful..
All the Kiwis in Australia must be a sign of something 😂
Those oldish wooden buildings are some of the soundest there are and with some TLC will last a very long time. They are far more suited to surviving earthquakes where brick and concrete buildings tend to crack and fall.
Talking about earthquakes, they're not all that common in NZ, especially when compared to Japan.
As for the higher cost of living, well that depends. Petrol is high because it must travel far to get here. Also, luxury goods are taxed heavily. This is so all New Zealander's can benefit from free healthcare and education with the option of going private for those who can afford it and want to.
Forget the commercialized theme parks, instead enjoy the many outdoor activities for which NZ is renowned.
Who honestly cares about Ikea and other chain stores? If you want to go furniture shopping every weekend because you're bored learn to build some yourself.
You don't have to be a vulcanologist to make a living here; there are many small startup companies doing quite well.
The best part about Aotearoa is the small population and most of us want to keep it that way. So, if you don't want to immigrate here, please don't.
No Amazon, no IKEA. What a huge gap of culture. I would miss it so much.😂
Thank you for watching. 🤣 the country is worth it though and I’m sure we’ll get those things one day.
@@alvinaliathos6137 good to know
@@alvinaliathos6137 Bit more spenny tho I think. My partner bought some bookshelves and they weren't cheap!
I grew up in New Zealand. Yes, earthquake and active volcanos are a huge threat. Like Japan, you get to experience earthquakes often. You'll also see a lot of Japanese and Indians living all over New Zealand. Most of them are struggling students or they're rich people who owns multiple businesses like shops and restaurants. In simple words, New Zealand is for investors. Unless you have millions of dollars that you wanna invest in a property or a local business, you're gonna face a lot of hardships. I faced a lot of challenges growing up in New Zealand. Living poor can make you go crazy in a country like New Zealand. So, unless you have a lot of money, *DO NOT MOVE TO NEW ZEALAND.* I worked in Australia for the last 16 years. Australia too is very expensive, but the wages are more compared to New Zealand. Food is half the price and more variety. More places to explore. Less racism. Whatever you earn it all goes in bills and rent in Australia. Everything is more expensive now than before due to inflation. I'd definitely move back to New Zealand to raise my children, because student life is very laid back compared to Australia. In Australia there's a lot of competition, which I don't really like. Whatever you do, whether it's studies or work, people are always competing with you! I find it really annoying! Education system in New Zealand is great, very laid back. One thing I noticed is, as soon as I moved to Australia, I started experiencing a lot of health issues! Over the years I became more and more sick! Back in New Zealand I barely fell ill or had any major health issues. I started falling ill due to poor work life balance. The busy competitive work life made me very ill over the last 16 years. New Zealand have cleaner water, food and air. Your good health is guaranteed, but at a high cost. New Zealand is very laid back, even when you're working. Unless you can build a big business like your own real estate, bakery or restaurant, I wouldn't suggest you move to New Zealand. It's too expensive for average people. You'll barely make it every week and it's gonna be very depressing. Most common jobs are being a taxi driver and working at shops. Maybe fruit picking in farms. That's about it. The wages are very low. There aren't many job opportunities unless you're a doctor, nurse or a dentist. Builders are often given opportunities from other nations to work in New Zealand as houses are growing in numbers, but that's about it. There's less than half the amount of resources in New Zealand compared to Australia. In Australia you can get basic food and clothes under $30, but in New Zealand everything is double the price with very few options. Not many varieties when you wanna buy something.
So Australia is expensive and bad but New Zealand is expensive and bad too from what I read. Probably you should move to cheap Papua New Guinea.
This was a really useful local knowledge videi, u r knowledgeable and informative. I think you have been extremely respectful and kind about your new home, it certainly puts u in a strong position to compare to uk ❤ cant understand some of the more negative comments xx x u r fabulous 😂
Thank Vanessa that’s very kind of you to comment.
I have been to New Zealand and nearly emigrated there in 1976 - I was even offered a job as an "Apprentice Metals Buyer"! I recommend MOTAT at Western Springs. I travelled all over and have so many great memories. N.Z. is smart too; they produce great adaptive tech. Why is it that so many of the world's richest have "bolt Holes" - where? New Zealand of course!
Our roads here aren't autobahn (Germany) type roads true. In saying that, look at nz's geography. A lot of hills and mountains, a lot of rivers streams waterways and nz sits on endless fault lines, volcanic areas etc. Not exactly easy or cheap to do roads with those conditions for a small country with an average gdp. Also, the roads aren't that much of a problem. It's the idiots that operate the vehicles on the roads that are the problem, not driving to conditions, driving drunk or under influence of drugs, speeding, over tierd etc. The food here is way over priced. Most new zealander's do cook at home.
Thank you for watching and commenting. All fair points appreciate it.
For goodness sake, why have you put background music to the whole video while you are speaking? you have ruined what might have been a good video. I skipped through, hoping that the music would be turned off but it wasn't so I abandoned the whole thing, The stupid music is so distracting; didn't you listen to it yourself before you uploaded it to UA-cam? Please edit it and upload it again without that awful music in the background and put a link to the edited version here so we can watch it in peace.
Been to NZ in the early 90th for a couple of months. It's the place (and the people!) to be and I miss it every day!
THE MUSIC LEVEL IS WAY TOOO HIGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLS LOWER THE VOLUME NEXT TIME IT IS UNHEARABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am an Irish who once was on 3 year work visa and I have travelled both the south Isand and the North and I can say they have cold houses with primitive heating which comes with condensation mold and mildew. The worst house in Canada would have better heating systems than a top notch house in New Zealand. Canada has one of the best heating systems thanks to Air One. In winter the houses in New Zealand are super cold and you have to sleep with all winter socks and winter clothes or Duvets /electric blankets. Its so bizarre but its the reality and the power bills are always above $350 either with Genesis, Mercury, Nova or whatever. It is good for tourism but not my choice to settle down. Had some good travel and friends but its worth a visit.
Are you Irish or an 'Irish' Canadian
Yeah like many of the points in the video, you're condensing a VERY small experience into being a universal truth. Yes older houses are like that, but not in all areas of the country. I live in a house built in the early 90's, and while it's cold, it's not damp. Aircon works a treat and my power bills aren't as high as you claim. Plus as we all grew up in this environment here, we're not as soft and we just get on with it. If a little cold and cost weeds out the whiney folk, then fantastic! But still, I also very much understand and respect that not everywhere suits everyone. I don't like Melbourne Aus, yet it's super popular with many of my peers.
@@jbrassic5434 I worked for stats New Zealand for 3 years and has travelled every bloody place from Auckland to Palmerston N Wellington Christchurch Teanu and Invercargill its primitive heating
Houses in inland Canada NEED better hearing and insulation, than houses in NZ's much milder climate. A Canadian in mid-Winter might experience an overnight low of minus 30 Celsius, with the daytime maximum getting up to minus 15 Celsius.
In Christchurch NZ, which is three quarters of the way down South, ie one of the colder Winter cities, the coldest Winter night might be minus 5 Celsius and the day will warm up to positive 5 Celsius and full bright Sun (streaming in through the windows, helping to warm one's house up). Once in 5 years we will get a light snowfall which will melt within one day. Once in 10 years we may get a snowfall which lasts into a second or third day, until it's all melted.
Yes condensation, mould and mildew are often problems especially in the wetter regions, when homes are not adequately ventilated.
Yes it is annoying that our 100% renewable Hydro Electric Power is so expensive, but for decades governments of both major political parties have chosen to give a huge amount away, almost for free, to a European shareholder owned Aluminium refinery. So 5 million people pay high electricity prices to subsidise 700 jobs.
Yes the background music in this video is SO loud that it comes close to drowning out the speaking. Why people insist on doing that, I don't know. They're obviously being "taught" to do it somewhere, and then they never listen back to their video afterwards before making it live online.
DOUZZZ THE NOIZZZZ. Irtitatingly diff w the diff accent in partic 🇫🇮
The music is way too loud and makes it slightly annoying to listen to you. Sorry
THE MUSIC IS BAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your music is so loud it difficult to understand what you are saying.
No. 1 Reason: It's absolutely full of New Zealanders.
Please get rid of that awful background music 🙏
I cannot hear what the background noise. It us annoying
1 yes NZ is very expensive and the wages are very low
2 NZ dental care is extremely expensive for the decent hard working families , dental care is paid by taxpayers until early teens is not free , but 5 years in jail will assure you a beautiful set of teeth , they take very good care of the dental health of crims in prison , why? I don't know
3 NZ don't have Amazon why? kiwis can't afford it
4 NZ have The Warehouse instead of Ikea, where the average bloke can buy all sorts of things , cheap and really nasty , clothes, shoes , ''furniture'' and so on
5 NZ food is expensive , 2013 bought 1kg of tomatoes in WW Johnsonville Wellington $18 dollar a kilo , hourly rate at the time $18 dollars per hour , for meat , sometimes I bit my tongue
6 NZ , across the Pacific is a country with far more earthquakes than NZ and well prepared for it and above NZ is another country as prepared as the first , Chile and Japan
7 NZ the city of Christchurch still look like a disaster zone after 13 years of a medium size earthquake , the 21 billion dollars invested for the city in 2011/12/13 are still no show
8 NZ houses are of poor quality , cold and dump sometimes full of mold , you can see your breath inside the house in a winter Autumn early spring in the morning of the south island , energy , power is very expensive and fireplaces are not allowed in mayor cities
9 NZ ,yes NZ is pretty and have a lots of sights to see , is a paradise for tourist and kiwis public servants who can enjoy the beauty of the country but not for the average family that can hardly make end meets
10 NZ more than 500 thousand + kiwis have left the ''clean and green'' NZ for ''greener pasture''
Thanks for your feedback. I love The Warehouse and has everything I need.
I prefer to live in Malaysia as a UK expat
Miss chocolate? With Whittaker's we have he best chocolate in the world. When I have Swiss guests they stock up on Whittaker's to take home. Good video. Good on you.
Thank you for watching the chocolate topic is up for debate in our house!
I gave up because of the intrusive music.
Can’t hear you over the music.
I love the video, but you need to turn down (or even mute) the background music. I struggle to hear you over the music,. The music isn't adding anything. It reminds me of pirated videos, trying to avoid a copyright strike. Just horrible and loud music. Kudos on transcribing it.
Thanks for your feedback. I was undecided about the music and had been playing with it and couldn’t decide! Thanks.
I agree, loose the music.
All the kiwi's are in Australia
Music is louder than voice :(
I wish the music volume were lower.
Remove the noise.
I 100 percent agree. I have lived in New Zealand for 90 percent of my life and honestly cannot wait to leave forever. Everything is so damn expensive, the education system is horrible and the public schools are just awful, theres been a housing crisis for over 20 years with no sign of improvement and theres barely anything fun to do outside home.
Goodbye and please turn off the light before you leave. BTW, what's keeping you here in the place was so awful? Nothing can be more awful than the UK.
@@janececelia7448 probably true. And because I cant afford to leave YET
@@EuropezonUruguayo1 It will be interesting to gauge how you feel about beautiful Aotearoa after you've left.
It sounds like you've had little experience living elsewhere, so making comparisons now is doing NZ a disservice.
Best of luck on your travels. You're welcome to return any time. No hard feelings.
@@janececelia7448 Ive been to many other countries. New Zealand is full of economic problems and hardships. No wonder 1 million kiwis live abroad.

That will have a huge bearing on what YOU perceive to be expensive.

I'd like to venture an opinion about the quality of construction work: might it not be because of the likeliness of a house being damaged by earthquakes and volcanoes makes it more likely that houses will have to be rebuilt or repaired at times? I've guessed that this is the case in the tornado alley in the US, but I don't know. I just noticed that often after natural disasters, only their brick chimneys remain standing afterwards
We in NZ aren't as idiotic as folk from USA who build matchstick houses in tornado belts. There are all too many South African engineers here so they can't have been too fussed. The majority of NZ houses are well built for natural "disasters". You just need to use your head and eyes. If you choose a dud building in a bad place you only have your own stupidity to blame. Ordinary wooden houses actually stand up to earthquakes very well. Earthquakes are generally rare except in a few spots. As for volcanos, it's thousands of years between eruptions and where I live the last one was 11 million years ago, so I think there's more chance of dying from a lion escaping from a zoo than being affected by a volcano.
@@stephenking4170I'm not an engineer, but a wooden structure dealing well with earthquakes makes absolute sense to me.
In 1969 there was a 6.3 Mw earthquake not too far from where I stay, and both my parents were affected by it. Only the tree in front of my fathers childhood home was left standing. We also had two minor tremors two years ago just off the coast here in Cape Town, but it was only 2.5Mw and we weren't around at the time. Table Mountain burns quite badly about once a year, which is good for the fynbos, but pretty scary if you live close. The Cape flats flood quite badly when we have heavy rain, and we had about a billion Rands worth of damage recently because of heavy storms.
Maybe it's more dangerous living where I do than under your volcanoes...
