Is the South Island better than the North Island?

The South Island is better than the North Island

There are positive and negative aspects about a place. Maybe one place has a bad school but great cafe's, whereas another place has a great school but bad cafe's. Everyone has differents points of views and different opinions. Is someone's opinion enough to say that "The South Island is better than the North Island"? I will cover a few - out of many - points to decide whether this statement is true or not.

In the North Island they have many iconic places, statues, etc. For example they have Krispy Kreme which everyone adores, whereas the South Island have a line of big teeth in Invercargill on the beach. In addition, we could compare two peoples opinions. Two of them are artists, while the other has a huge obsession for sweets. The two artists prefers the South Island because they love how creative and unique our monuments are, but does that make the South Island better? Their priority is art, not food.

We've all seen those traffic cams on the news, and we've all seen the ones in Auckland. Auckland gets  absolutely ridiculous traffic jams, whereas Christchurch traffic isn't as horrific. That immediately gives a point towards our statement right? Wrong. Auckland is just one out of many cities in the North Island. Moreover, to be able to judge a place off of one city would be extremely idiotic.

Furthermore, schools. There are many schools in Christchurch; Hornby, Cashmere, St bedes, Papanui, etc. Maybe you enrol your kid to go to school such as Hornby and they're bullied. Then you move up North and enrol your kid into a new school and they make loads of friends. Why say the North Island is better just because one school turned out to be better than the other.

You can't judge a person, thing, or place by summing up all of the negatives or all of the positives. For example, it's like saying "His shoes are odd, he's probably a creep.", or "HHS is a good school so Hornby should be a great suburb.". Everyone has different priorities to judge. The North and South Island both have strong attributes that are better than the other, but we can not say that one is better than the other.
