This paragraph is dead right! I have been telling people in Auckland that I see living in the city, surrounded by glass and concrete, with the occasional tree struggling to survive along Queen Street, to be getting nearer and nearer to what prisoners in Paremoremo endure. I know this is a negative illustration. For a positive one see any of the TVNZ programmes on rich winegrowers setting up luxury vineyards in the South Island. Otherwise take a trip through the Waikato and assess whether, if your job were in one of those smaller towns, you would get to work more quickly and work in more pleasant surroundings. Now arrange the business world to suit! People are too important to be herded into concrete jungles all day.
