I left Invercargill and spent 7 years in London and surrounding areas...I came home to having a mortgage free, warm, well insulated house, ten minute drive to work with free parking close by...ten minute drive to a beautiful beach, 2 hours to Queenstown, less time to Te Anau...I recall being on a UK motorway and traving 8 miles in 5 hours through sheer volume of traffic, something I experienced during a recent road trip to Auckland...almost 3 hours from Papakura to the North Shore...if there's a gang problem here, its not overly visible...and certainly not as bad as other areas...As for the weather, my first British winter nearly sent me home...bitterly cold... Southland weather can be challenging, but July is the worst month. Take a look at recent events up north, flooding in Auckland on Anniversary day...total disaster, lives lost, property destroyed...then came Cyclone Gabrielle, huge damage everywhere...Southland gets wet, cold and occasionally really unpleasant, but there are upsides... People up north may criticise the South, but Im wondering if those affected by flooding etc in the Esk Valley were critical of the large group of Southland farmers who loaded a convoy of trucks with fencing gear and headed up there and got stuck in repairing farm fences...??
Invercargill is depressing, but the districts outside of Invercargill are paradise. The Catlins. Fiordland national park. Takatimus. Beautiful southland countryside. You can't beat that genuine lifestyle.
I love visiting Invercargill, but that’s probably because I’m from LA and enjoy that life is just way calmer here comparatively. I visited in winter 2022 and summer 2024 and feel that the city centre has improved dramatically.
I stayed there for 1 year. It's really boring, the weather really sucks, and the town tries to attract people, but it's rural population have such a narrow and conservative view about only being local, and supporting locals only, that it puts most newcomers off. Also, it's super conservative and people hate change too unless it fills their pockets.
Seriously, they didn't pick a good range of people to talk to. Virtually no one over 35. I moved from the Bay of Islands to Invercargill in 2010 and don't feel the weather is a down grade at all. A bit colder but we don't suffer from the humidity here and it's definitely warmer than the 12 winters I lived in the Waikato where the frosts and damp were horrid. Invercargill has heaps of events on here. There are always shortages of accommodation for visitors as there is a lot going on here with such as annual events like the Tour of Southland, Oyster Festival and Burt Munro to name a few. I agree that there is not a lot of night life here for young people though. One of the best things is hardly any traffic. You can drive anywhere in the city most times in no more than 15mins
I mean it gets damp, everywhere in NZ gets "humid" but I know what you mean. We don;t get the "warm" damp that the upper north island gets which is pretty gross and gloomy.
Im from Invercargill, lived overseas for years. Bumped into a fellow Kiwi, asked where he was from then he asked me where I came from,I said Invercargill and without a pause he said "Oh well, never mind" . Oddlyi followed that up with had he ever visited Invercargill, his answer was no. Lol
OMG! Im planning to study there and live my whole life in Invercargill. I am in the Philippines and there's a mall everywhere. Id rather be in a place where its still in a developing stage. I cant wait to start my new life in NZ :)
My travels around New Zealand have made me think that one island and it's cities are ruled by gangs and a general loser culture pervades with little space for the homeless to sleep at night because there are so many of them Also this island and it's towns' buildings are heavily draped in graffitti The other island has much less crime Has beautiful architecture and parks that have lovely EXOTIC trees The general vibe in this island is much more peaceful and the scenery is magnificent

@@last_samurai6690 I wouldn't say there is a major problems with gangs. There is a mm pad half an hour outside of invercargill in mataura but the crime rate doesn't seem as bad as other big nz towns and cities although it is slightly on the up as with everywhere else. I'm planning on leaving simply because I'm bored and prefer not knowing a whole lot of people in town everytime I go to the supermarket 😂 it's still big enough to have anonymity but you still see plenty of familiar faces most days, well I do because I'm relatively social but really it's not my jam if u know what I mean? Some people like that sort of thing though.
Invercargill has some competition for being one of the crappiest cities and towns. If you ever visited the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the City of Corner Brook is also the same way. Like Invercargill, Corner Brook is also a natural resource intense town as its home to the only Pulp and Paper Mill left in that Canadian province. The city also doesn't have much shopping and employment opportunities due to its poor business climate, limited shopping and recreation opportunities, poor public transit service, and lack of jobs for young people. Corner Brook is also dealing with a "grey tsunami" of its own as nearly 1/2 the city's population are seniors and low income earners, which makes it difficult for aspiring entrepreneurs to set up shop. Winters are also bad as they get snow almost everyday, mostly "sea effect snow" from the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
I just looked around Corner Brook with google Earth. Not totally depressing, it has quite a few hilly views and looks like not a bad bay. The imagery of the central area was from late 2019, so might have been a few changes since.
@@grgmetube I agree that Corner Brook has some nice highland views, much like most of Western Newfoundland. At the same time, Corner Brook faces an uncertain future as their main employer, Kruger owned Corner Brook Pulp and Paper, is struggling as newsprint demand dwindles, leading to worries that the mill will shut down for good. Saltwire Network and "The Chronicle Herald", Halifax based privately newspaper media companies owned by the Dennis and Lever families, recently filed for bankruptcy, which will further hurt demand for newsprint. The good news is that Kruger are planning to diversify Corner Brook Pulp and Paper's product line away from newsprint, and focusing on cellulose fibre for biofuels, textiles, concrete, and wood pellets. They also plan to sell their logs to other mills, and also excess electricity to NL Hydro to meet the province's power demands. Corner Brook is now facing numerous challenges, including a large senior and low income resident population, which makes it difficult for growing local businesses as they will typically go to big box chain stores for their groceries and essentials In addition, the city's services are not very good as their public transit system operates on weekdays only, and persons with disabilities have no day programs.
@@HalifaxHerculesSounds to a certain extent like Invercargill. There is a growing senior population here and the paper mill at Mataura closed a long time ago. A lot of government service industries moved out of provincial areas during the 1990's. The island harbor at Bluff brcame largely redundant with its meat loader machines. That was built in late 1950's early 60's era. I think it was most paid for by Southland but I'm not certain if it was superceded with the port Chalmers container port before there was money payback for the investment. There is now talk of hydrogen production as the Tiwai smelter was going to close but it may not close now because the government reduced its electricity cost. I don't know if hydrogen as a fuel will ever be considered economic. There is talk of a computer server data centre at Makarewa. I have not seen any sign of construction yet. Something like a data centre could attract a lot of technical people that would spawn other computer related jobs. It would use quite a bit of the electricity that was going to be surplus, from Manapouri if the smelter was closing. The smelter closing might have been a good thing if it caused many more technical industries to spawn. The government may not see any need now. I do think towns/cities need to attract people that are in the future industries and jobs otherwise they may die.
Huntly is a good spot. Hamilton and Auckland at their doorstep. Invercargill is at the ass end with nothing going on. Then again, sometimes isolation is a bonus. Depends on the age/interests of the person asking
How does a newsreader/journalist get to use the F word, and hold himself to standards of dignity and integrity, and take himself seriously. I pity this country. That's why I'm leaving for good. It's becoming way too cringe and embarrassing for me to stay.
UK here...saw a NZ police programme over here a few years back. STILL remember that a group of drunken lads were dressed like it was 1970 in a car that had escaped from 1974.The cop who stopped them asked "where are you lads from?".The time honoured reply was the poetic..."INVER-FAKUN-CARGILL MATE!".When ever i hear that name, THAT is the image i SEE.
I've been living in Invercargill for the last 15 years. It's an okay town but the weather is shit. Job options down here are career limiting with little to no opportunities. But you're lucky enough to work for a bigger organisation the culture usually consists of the boys club so you're buggered either way. I have found Invercargill people to be a little unfriendly and negative while having old school beliefs. But there's lots of opportunities to get out of town with ease of access to other centres.
Bro, you need to get out more. There are worst towns in the north island, unless you think Taumaranui or Kawarau are better? Kaitaia, Waiouru, what about Greymouth? You don't know shite bro. Invers is way better than most Kiwi towns unless you don't know better.
It really isn't that bad and I've lived in some of the major cities in the world..Sydney, London and New York for a short stint. It's boring more than anything. There isn't much going on entertainment wise but if you're into nature and hiking and being able to access places people pay thousands to visit every year I.e Queenstown then it isn't so bad. It has everything you need there. Also getting around to and from work doesn't take hours or cost the earth in travel. House prices are still affordable as well. I lived in Wellington for a few years and that to me is shit 😂 just hills and scrub
@@russellturner1909 She looked like she could scrub up quite nicely if she made an effort. She had a great smile and nice eyes and bone structure to her face.

It’s badly named, unbelievably difficult to reach by any transport, under an enormous Māori curse, and hugely underdeveloped. It’s the place that time forgot. It is the shittiest town on planet Earth.

My kids went to a brilliant (and big) primary school, the sports clubs were friendly and we made lovely friends. We lived on a farm right on the town boundary. The supermarket was really decent and facilities like doctors were awesome. It might have looked a bit sad driving through it but was really a good place to live
@@catherinezenovich5483 I have been wrong in my lifetime. I’m only going on reputation. Glad to hear your time in Tokoroa was good and it’s not what its reputation is. I grew up in Upper Hutt, which is a hole, but which is also nowhere nearly as bad as people in Wellington might have you believe.
It's not the shityest town because it's so cold the shit frezzes and we can send it away in post bags before it thaws to the north island for shit burger toppings.and beating the cold is no problem my mum leaves the fridge door open to keep the house from freezing 😊😊😊

You'll find most western areas of NZ have bad weather, including Auckland sometimes. Invers can get cold snaps during summer, but other than that the climate isn't terrible.
NZ needs a fashion make-over. No offense to my kiwi buddies but some of you need to work on your self improvement, invest more time in your appearance and learning to speak with your mouths open so you can pronounce words properly. You're like the only people that struggle with English - despite it being your only language.
@@danieleyre8913 Most people in Invercargill aren't badly attired either. This guy went out and picked the most fashion backward people he could find to interview! People here buy their clothes from exactly the same chain stores as every other city in the country
Cannot change the weather unless climate change with green house gases warms it up but then other northern places would get too hot. Everyone would want to come. It would be a metropolis with hardly anything to provide enough food or money for everyone. It would not just be Invercargill that would force attract people. It would be south of South America. Northern Canada. Siberia, Scandinavia. Maybe also parts of Antarctic. Would that be sustainable for 8 billion or more people? All the different nationalities and races crowded together. Imagine it.

@@danieleyre8913 Most people in Invercargill aren't badly attired either. This guy went out and picked the most fashion backward people he could find to interview! People here buy their clothes from exactly the same chain stores as every other city in the country

Cannot change the weather unless climate change with green house gases warms it up but then other northern places would get too hot. Everyone would want to come. It would be a metropolis with hardly anything to provide enough food or money for everyone. It would not just be Invercargill that would force attract people. It would be south of South America. Northern Canada. Siberia, Scandinavia. Maybe also parts of Antarctic. Would that be sustainable for 8 billion or more people? All the different nationalities and races crowded together. Imagine it.
