My backstory for anyone interested - when I started supporting more density so more inner city neighbourhoods would be buzzy and interesting like Kings Cross - a detached house in middle Sydney was $350k.

Im an urbanist (aka yimby) but it has to be part of a coordinated approach of supply AND demand measures to result in housing affordability. I became interested in urbanism because I wanted lively neighbourhoods, not because I thought density alone would sufficiently reduce cost

Less people are going to want to switch from T8 to metro at Sydenham when it arrives completely full from Bankstown. Mark my words. It's a different story ATM when the metro is empty from Sydenham.

Wow delay after delay is certainly worth it to retain the 10 parking spaces on Military Rd on a weekend

Bit pissed off at the number of people selling tickets to a concert that sold out instantly. They should be non transferable with names tied to tickets or something... There's got to be a fairer way......

The cynic in me says noone politically connected must live in Elan or Kingsgate/Zenith Residences (the towers behind) a la Highgate and its impact or Barangaroo or One Darling Harbour and its impact on Harbourside.....

What an absolute breath of fresh air in a climate of progressive obfuscation on the cause of rent increases

Do you somehow know more than the chief economist at the RBA? I’d like to hear your logic if so. Because there’s unlikely any person in the country that’s more qualified to talk on the matter than her

Lucky Auburn... Wish my suburb would build a unit block with a Coles. Alas, I live east of Ashfield where you cant build anything convenient and we need a car to do groceries 🙄

You have the same views on immigration as a billionaire zionist landlord.

Absolutely fkn woeful allocation of road space. This isn't even peak crowding either. And a recent 3 metre kerb extension on the left side, the footpath used to be even smaller if you can believe

Please let this finally be the catalyst for reform on using a motor vehicle as a weapon and dangerous driving… since thousands of innocent deaths that came before weren't enough. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

I love hearing from people in $130k pa government WFH jobs with no tangible output about how our economic system oppresses them and how they're hard done by under capitalism

People love to use Scandinavian countries as beacons of high quality of life without digging deeper. Denmark is how you left wing. Strong borders, strong social democracy. Be like Denmark.

What's happening in France is the progressive political agenda at its natural conclusion. When you build a massive welfare state while increasing your population through third-world migration, it isn't long before basic social order collapses.

Interesting insight into the inner Sydney property market. Stunning cottage on the cusp of the nice part of Redfern. Partial renovation by the last owner yet no gain for them over the last 5 years of holding.

Why do I find progressives chuck a hissy fit and block you if you challenge their views? Undemocratic? Intolerant? Childish? And these are people I know... Like at least "conservatives" or the politically disengaged can have a bit of a debate and agree to disagree and move on.

Made a political post to my personal social media re the nationalised supermarket idea and it's unbelievable how many people's political beliefs are just: "Let's make everything free/cheap, or; let's throw unlimited money at XYZ issue and if you disagree you're right wing"
