I kinda dislike the low density bit, yes I agree we are different to the Netherlands and that impacts how we would build this infrastructure, but it shouldn’t be a full excuse.

The thing I see is we are more than capable of putting out large scale infrastructure like the rollout of fibre broadband and the completed highways works connecting Auckland to Hamilton and beyond

Your right, Its probably an economics of scale problem, building roads already has momentum and the equipment, while with rail we would need to commit to bigger + more projects that would take longer than a election term and risk the population thinking it’s a waste of their tax
