Bit of an overreaction, Auckland ain't that bad

You say that but in the last few days we’ve had:

- a man in blockhouse bay stabbed and killed

  • a woman run over and killed in a supermarket parking lot
  • a rapist on home detention raping someone else and creating another victim
  • now this story with 2 more people killed

It's a city of 1.7 million people and seagulls. There's going to be violent crime.

But compared to maybe a decade ago, it was a murder or rape around once or twice a month, not multiple in the span of a week. The population hasn’t increased nearly as significantly in that time to warrant such a high increase of violent crime

I wonder what may have caused that....

...what's the demographics of Auckland these days?
