I'm not sure when... quite a few were locked up in insurance wrangles for a few years but I think all but one of those were eventually demolished. There are still a large number of parking lots in the central city but new buildings seem to be appearing each time I go in.

Re: PESO: Foundations
I just realised what you meant by the unfortunate weather. That was pretty much confined to the mountains. It caused a little trouble with a washed-out bridge but it certainly wasn't any kind of disaster. If they get that kind of rain around the Kaikoura region it might be a bit worse as there is a lot of land that's still loose since the big quake two years ago.

Re: PESO: Foundations
Yes, there used to be underground car parking there so it's just filled up with rain water. The weather's all over the place at the moment but that's just spring doing its thing.
