Once thing central government could do is
LET AUCKLAND RAISE ITS OWN FUNDS VIA TAXATION.
Cos, lets face it, raising rates is gonna piss off the only people who vote.
Building houses is easy, but building the water, power, sewage, comms, roading, stormwater, footpaths and cyclelanes cost a fuckton. And unless I'm wrong, it's the council that pays for _most_ of that, not the house builder.
