These are the last right hand drive trolleybuses still in active service in the world. So you're wrong there.

Posted in: New Zealand tightens visa rules amid near record migration See in context
NZ’s infrastructure is a shambles.
Sounds more like the problem is the New Zealand government (of all stripes) not spending enough on building urban infrastructure let alone maintaining what exists. Auckland's urban transit system is far too focused on road transport for instance.
But it's far easier to blame immigrants and pander to racists who oppose any immigration. It strokes their bellies and makes the government look like it's doing something.

He also said European drivers typically start racing at a younger age than drivers in Japan. He also added in cultural and linguistic barriers. Both Iwasa and Tsunoda speak English well and do interviews in English.
They also start learning and using English as a second language much earlier and aren't embarrassed to make mistake.

They take up too much space.
They'd also spoil the fun of your neighbourhood busy body with nothing else to do but go through your garbage and then complain to the council about it.
The council would then have to fire a third of their workforce for being too efficient.
