I dunno about NZ. It may be a colony thing. 60 years ago everyone wanted to leave. There was something about suburbia in Australia that many could not bear. It was a major subject in books......the deep ambivalence and sense of inferiority of a colonial society, something felt as soul destroying.
They wanted to go to England. That was another world.
