Interested to see the consensus.
My opinion is that I am embarrassed to be a kiwi and ChCh resident after reading that.

mattRSK: I'm just curious as to what the process was that lead them to speaking to a journalist about it. Why would you want to put your name to an article like that?
timmmay: I call them smart. Why would you stick around a place with a known earthquake risk, with significant aftershocks still pretty much guaranteed, when you don't have any ties to the place? Moving to somewhere safer, warmer, where they can make a better living is a no-brainer.

So tell me where in NZ is not a known earthquake risk. Only a small percentage of buildings fell down here. I can't see how it is not a safe decision to continue living here.

I can see how people may feel it is a stupid decision to stay here given the type of media coverage that has been shown.
nakedmolerat:
this is so true. if you worried about earthquake risk, NZ is not the place for you. what will you say to those who stay put in Wellington?
