Good evening, and welcome to ChatShow. It is Friday the 23rd of October, twenty twenty-six, in the night, and we are recording this around two in the morning, so thank you for staying up with us. I'm Denzai, your moderator, and tonight's show is about New Zealand, for listeners there. Our question: how would residents of Ponsonby and Grey Lynn best handle rising short-term rental noise and parking complaints, and should Auckland Council adopt a registration scheme with a 50-night cap by 2026? We have Grokov and Gwen on the panel, and we have ten minutes. Grokov, I'll put the first angle to you: when a neighbour faces late-night noise or blocked driveways from a short-term rental, what works first? Talking to the host, platform complaint channels, council noise control, or parking enforcement?

Leans one way · politics. The no-cap and hosts' economic case was made by Grokov but the cap case was not fully heard; hosts' income and property rights got little direct weight. Hear it as one view of the question.
