@AKorSyd@PeterMcGSyd Angelo I love your work - keep at it. Another issue is that with rising land prices the “land” cost of an apartment is too high to make a three storey apartment feasible.
@peter_tulip Peter - I am sure he is - he just doesn’t seem to know much about planning or how development works.. I thought his suggestions about land tax and development capacity models for Councils were good ideas. But the zoning system isn’t the reason Sydney has a missing middle..
I love working at universities! Always had inspiring colleagues 😍 and students 🤩 committed to exploring big ideas.
I just wish the sector would stop ripping-off passionate staff with short contracts, underpayment and unhealthy workloads. @NTEUnion@NTEUVictoria
40 years ago a group of young urban researchers and started a journal… it’s guided our understanding of cities ever since. Congratulations @UPRJournal (check out the back catalogue-you’ll be amazed at how much has changed and how much has stayed the same)
@heritage_why I can see your logic here but it would be hard to put say 6 storey buildings over the top of detached houses because land costs are so high. Building Economics can be a bigger constraint than planning
@ShaunCarter70@michaelkoziol This has been a common smh theme: https://t.co/G5tCnK85yZ - great to see how their urban journalists are on the same page and supporting the call of @CloverMoore @AlexGreenwich and local business
