One of the things I love about Wellington

is that (in the central city at least) there's relatively little socio-economic divide across the suburbs. I like how you can't really tell how well-off somebody is based on where they live. It seems like something you can do relatively easily in places like Auckland.

Last night I realised that this is one of the few places in the world where I could be at a friend's party in a student flat, ten metres across the road from the Prime Minister's official residence.

Every one is pretty wealthy, because of Government. Wellington has the highest per capita income of all regions in New Zealand.
