Answer 2

I think you're extremely cynical in everyone of your answers, so you're honestly never going to be happy.

New Zealand is getting worse compared to what? Compared to 100 years ago? Compared to other countries?

I still feel safe in my own home and in my city, but statistically yes I would say that New Zealand has a higher crime rate than last year and the year before. But that can be the consequence of many factors, i.e. increased ease of migration, increased Maori and Pacific Island population.

I think we're lucky and shouldn't really be complaining about our crime rate.

Remember they only print the bad stuff that goes on in the world or Nationally. .....  How many times do you read 'Happy' stories in the paper or on TV news?

You are moving to Auckland soon - that's where the real crime is.  I would never live there !  Give me Nelson any day.
