I'm not suggesting a single, or specific, factors. I'm suggesting complex factors.
Immigration could be one. I'm pretty sure potential international migrants get more points towards their residency if they reside outside of Auckland, so the government obviously recognises this and has responded to it. But maybe that just skews the migrants Auckland gets. Maybe there are a lot of national migrants too?
But there's the labour market, material costs, etc., etc. Things both inside and outside of Auckland's sphere of influence.
If because of reasons the government finds a housing problem in any part of NZ, I don't see why its place would be to simply observe and note.
