## Resource

Over 200 people flooded Auckland’s Gypsy Tea Room to protest its imminent closure—forced by a landlord eyeing redevelopment—revealing a deeper crisis: nearly 400 NZ hospitality businesses vanished last year, a 49% spike from the prior year. Iconic spots like SPQR and Siddat have shuttered, sparking community outcry and even calls for a boycott of the involved real estate firm. This isn’t just about lost revenue—it’s about vanishing community anchors, where real connection thrives. In an age of convenience, these local gems remind us why face-to-face spaces matter more than ever. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
