If you read my post, this is the first point it lists. It's not as if we lack the space to move the people living around the cost elsewhere. When you drop a refrigerator from the sky, the probability to hit someone is basically zero. |

Sure there's a lot of empty space here, but places like Wellington have very little space left for development, and significant suburbs (Lyall Bay, Seatoun, Petone, Eastbourne) will likely need to have significant properties moved elsewhere, which means out of the current urban areas...
Same goes for Christchurch and Auckland...
Where exactly will new areas be created? It's not impossible, but will people want to do that? Already there are many properties on the south coast of Wellington (Owhiro Bay, Moa Point), which regularly have flood risks at least once a year with strong southerlies and high tides, and people stay there...
Given how bad the availability of property is here, I doubt it will be that easy (although that might be a way: subsidised property in a new suburb if you move?)...
