$43.5 million

Someone brought a block of land in the Auckland CBD yesterday for $43.5 million dollars! And we're supposed to be in a recession, if that was cheap I'd not like to see what it would sell for other days. Imagine what could be done with that much money....$40,000 could be given to Briar and I for instance and we could live off it for a year :P. Imagine how many people could be picked off the streets and be supplied with needs like proper nutrition, clothing, hygiene, shelter etc. Or how many family homes could do with some basic fix ups to improve warmth, leaks and other stuff in their houses. If only there was another $43.5 million to go around...
