There's an effort to curb urban sprawl ... solution is so called medium and high density housing.
I have worked on some house blocks a small as 280m2
The average these days is probably 500m2, no room for trees that's for sure.
Problem is as the city spreads and people work in the CBD traffic etc gets bad.
In this day and age I dont know why businesses want to pay such a premium to be in the city when a lot of their services are online, phone etc.
Also dont forget that once you leave the coastal regions it can get a little inhospitable out there. We also dont have a massive population so infrastructure is costly per head.
I love it when working fringe/rural areas and having hordes of room and decent dinki di Aussies who are like I remember them when I was growing up...
... Not this road rage, give you the bird aggro city crap where I have even had azzhole neighbours requesting vaccuming up the saw dust from their gardens ... city people are slowly degrading to some psuedo New Yorker as portrayed in movies by Eddie Murphy. The change here in Brisbane over the last 10 years has been very noticable ... in that period perhaps 750,000 southeners have moved here and the attitude STINKS frankly, they bring their big city SydneyMelbourne attitudes here. They are also more accepting of smaller housing blocks and traffic jams and looking out for themselves.
Oh, hello Mexicans.
Now kindly please return to your home city or calm down and fit in.
