Cottage for sale
This is the coolest auction of the year.
During my walk around Hobson Street I encountered those two little cottages between all those towers, as silent witnesses of a time when St. Matthew’s church was still dominating the skyline of Auckland.

Here’s the good news: nobody gives a damn.
The bad news? Nobody gives a damn.
Let me explain the good news first.
