My partner and I are looking to move back to NZ and settle down in around 3 years and I found it quite depressing that we need to now consider climate change impact on the city (near and far future) when we decide where to settle down.
What's more, the areas that will fare best for precipitation and temperature rise are also the areas that tend to be sparsely populated and have cheap(er) housing. Though those sandflies in the South Island can be vicious.
