If there aren't enough houses in Auckland for the number of people in Auckland that means one of two entities shoulders most of the blame:
1. the construction industry for not building houses fast enough
2. council for not freeing up land/relaxing zoning laws to allow the construction industry to build houses
Note: NEITHER OF THESE ENTITIES IS THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT

Is the population in Auckland growing because Aucklanders are having a lot of babies? Or perhaps there is some other factor at play here? Factors that aren't to do with decisions made in Auckland? Nah, couldn't be!
