Yeah. I think there are cultural/societal issues in NZ that are not small.

All the same, I'd consider it for sure. But I like scenery.

NZ is depressed, the population is declining, and they're moving to Australia in droves. Y'all are romanticizing the country.

I have a friend considering the same move—straight, multiracial family. Do, just out of curiosity I’ve been on a lot of Reddit threads about Christchurch. It’s more conservative than most of NZ, but is still considered pretty tolerant. It seems like a great place to live. Some very good job opportunities. Personally, I’d do it. You can always move back. The fact is, it gets harder to uproot when the kids (and your parents, and you) are older.

Watch the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern documentary.

It's a good movie. You might find it relatable.

It also clearly shows there are MAGAs there (Trump fans). And other types you'd like to be quit of.

I would have in that situation. It's not irrevocable if it doesn't work out.

Now, I'd still love to, but with a kid about to enter college, and aging parents, I wouldn't. But I'd wish that I could.

We have a 2.5 and 6 month old. I am a SAHM. My wife just got a job offer in Christchurch. Pay is twice what she makes here but COL is a bit more in NZ.

It’s a big move. No family near by but we do have friends in a Sydney.

We are a queer couple and do worry about the political climate here.
