Would you move into central Christchurch? Why or why not?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Three quarters of Christchurch residents are positive about their central city, but many are put off by begging and anti-social behaviour.

A new city council survey reveals a jump in pride in the central city, but not in the numbers wanting to live there.

About a quarter of those surveyed said they would consider to moving to the central city at some stage, with the biggest proportion preferring to wait until the rebuild is finished.

The main factors for those considering whether to move to the central city were lifestyle factors, the type of housing available, having parking available, finding value-for-money housing in the central city periphery, noise, cost of living, and traffic.
