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.
@pfh007 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
Why do migrants to the west love these ignorant and disrespectful posts?
I can't fathom moving to another country and calling its citizens idiots etc
Unbelievable arrogance most westerners don't have.
@central01000011 See I would have killed for this in my office even if it was a wind tunnel heat sink. Reminds me of my neighbours who have a massive patio they never use
@_colourmeamused It's not me sharing this slop that punches down on working class valid concerns mate... But if people want to share it, I'll address it.
How long until progressives spin this as just bringing international diversity and talent into the business... ?
They're already the useful idiots for corporate interests on most other topics.
'NAB cultivates tech talent in Vietnam, India as Australian jobs axed'
'The cost savings for NAB are immediate. A junior software engineer in Vietnam might cost the bank around $20,000 a year, compared to $80,000 or more to hire an equivalent Australian worker' (20% NAB workforce is already foreign based) 1/2 #ausbiz #NAB
Nothing makes people more anti-democratic as the topic of immigration and population. These hacks can't handle restricting immigration has majority support and would clear a referendum easily.
Can guarantee drunk bogan Aussies in Bali don't lecture Indonesians on their politics either.
Like brb moving to Chile and calling all Chileans racist fascists because of their politics despite being fresh to the country. Major ick.
It's giving the lefts view of the working class. One minute theyre poor battlers struggling on welfare. The next minute theyre racist drunk junkie Centrelink bogans. It really reveals people's true colours.
@taipan168 Why police can't target shit like this instead of fining me for doing a UTurn on a quiet periurban street is beyond me. The aggression was high at Clontarf yesterday as the whole suburb was gridlocked for the Ultra and drivers took it out on innocent pedestrians
