Archive link if anyone is having the same insane issues I have with The Post: https://archive.ph/AzNFf
I seem to recall working out what this issue was once upon a time but I can't remember now. All I know is that if I access the site on Firefox desktop, even using a mobile user agent, the site doesn't work and complains about network settings. If I visit on mobile, using the same network, it works without complaint.
Anyway, to the article: at least these guys have a real garden and compost bin, instead of a vege pod and a hungry bin, which I think are a better indicator of bourgeois affluence.
Part of me is screaming that having enough yard space for a proper garden and compost bin is the better indicator :-)
I think that may be more an indication of location. I know Aucklanders with a 2 million dollar house and not enough room for a blade of grass, and I know people with a $400k property and a quarter acre section.
Arguably not having space is a good sign you're bourgeoisie.
Yeah its 100% location.
We moved Wellington -> Hawkes Bay 7 years ago. Got a larger house, larger garage & doubled the usable section^1^ but spent (slightly) less to buy than what we had just sold.
84m2 2 bed house, 404m2 section, single garage -> 100m2 3 bed house, 640m2 section, double garage.
