Your Simpsons character
Mr. Burns
The Scoot Foundation’s bio says it "advocates for whatever its dark money donors demand," echoing Mr. Burns’s habit of pushing policies that serve his own interests. Their tweet about learning "that Earth has had several naturally occurring nuclear fission reactors" mirrors Burns’s obsession with nuclear power. The cynical comment "Very funny to build a $3.8bn road to serve an airport with a market valuation of $1.4bn" reflects Burns’s disdain for wasteful public spending while seeking profit. Finally, the complaint that "the biggest problem… isn’t finding people to lend us money, it’s figuring how to pay them back" shows a corporate‑focused mindset typical of Burns’s financial scheming.

ESTJ
The account shows extraverted energy by constantly engaging the public, e.g., “This week, @metroabundance & @cayimby are hosting a delegation of American State Senators… Come along!” and noting “Nearly at 200 people in the scoot foundation discord.” It focuses on concrete, observable data, such as the “Map of 400 m catchment to the top 3 deciles of frequent bus route by residential land value” and the observation that “people want to live close to the city centre, people want to live close to the sea.” Decision‑making is driven by logical analysis and cost‑benefit reasoning, evident in statements like “Transport investment is probably the clearest case… where government investment has overstimulated the sector and been highly inflationary” and “The biggest problem that we have in NZ infrastructure isn’t finding people to lend us money, it’s figuring how to pay them back.” Finally, the user prefers structure and closure, as shown by the “Good set of appointments to the IHP… iron out the kinks in PC120” and the praise for the new Planning Act bill being “readable without constantly jumping around…”.
Some pickup lines for you
- Are you a PC120 upzone? Because you just boosted the demand for a spot in my heart's catchment area.
- If we were an autonomous bus, I'd let you drive the feeder service straight to my feelings.
- Let's skip the RMA review and draft our own master plan: coffee at Glass Goose, followed by a walk through Maungawhau.
- Your love for green city vibes makes my heart want to plant a date in every Auckland park.
- Just like StatsNZ keeps revising GDP, my affection for you keeps getting upgraded—no need for a new release.

Your signature cocktail
Dark Money Skyline
The Dark Money Skyline is a layered, bittersweet fizz that captures the Scoot Foundation’s blend of sharp policy insight and New Zealand’s vibrant urban spirit. The dark coffee liqueur at the base mirrors the 'dark money donors' line in their bio and the deep, sometimes murky data they dissect, like when they ask, 'It seems quite bad that every StatsNZ GDP release includes significant revisions for previous quarters. I don’t think it used to be this way? What is happening at StatsNZ?'. A splash of Fernet Branca adds a bitter complexity, reflecting the 'iron out the kinks in PC120' drive and their advocacy for bold infrastructure, as they tweet, 'Good set of appointments to the IHP. Hopefully they can iron out the kinks in PC120 to produce a plan that produces a generation of Total Auckland Cultural Victory'. The bright lime juice and Manuka honey give a fresh, green, Kiwi note that nods to their 'Green city' pride and love for Auckland’s parks, echoed in 'Green city' and 'Maungawhau, Domain, Western Park, Victoria Park. Many great green spaces in and around the Auckland City Centre'. Finally, the fizz of sparkling water lifts the drink like a busway’s rush hour, evoking their excitement for 'The Northwestern Express bus is going absolutely gangbusters' and the promise of autonomous feeder buses, as they say, 'I'm hopeful that small autonomous buses can become efficient feeder services for suburban rapid transit stops'.
Your Hogwarts House
Slytherin
The account demonstrates clear ambition and strategic manipulation, traits typical of Slytherin. They tweet 'Great news for aspiring Housing and Transport Czars like myself', highlighting personal ambition for power. Their bio admits they 'advocate for whatever its dark money donors demand', indicating a willingness to use influence for gain. They also propose cunning policy moves like 'Putting all the mayors onto a panel with a date of expiry seems like an effective way of getting amalgamation without central govt explicitly directing it'. These ambitious, resourceful, and pragmatic behaviors align best with Slytherin.
Your movie
Your song
Money - Pink Floyd
The Scoot Foundation constantly discusses financing and the influence of money in infrastructure planning, as shown by their tweet that "the biggest problem that we have in NZ infrastructure isn’t finding people to lend us money, its figuring how to pay them back". Their bio even admits they "advocate for whatever its dark money donors demand", which mirrors the cynical view of money in Pink Floyd’s lyric "Money, it's a gas". They also lament contradictory policy decisions, e.g., "We’re in this odd situation where we seem to have bipartisan consensus … but now our draft infra plan says we shouldn’t spend more on water", echoing the song’s critique of how money drives policy. Their frequent references to funding, donor influence and "money" make Pink Floyd’s "Money" a fitting anthem. The song’s iconic cash‑register sounds also symbolize the constant chatter about budgets and financing in their feed.
