Ah, so it's the 'current legal system's' fault that some middle aged men are bald, fat and smelly ;)

So now it's the fault of women if middle aged men get bald, fat and smelly? I suppose you could argue the bald part can be blamed on a woman (i.e. the mother) considering balding is hereditary through the mother's bloodline. But the fat and smelly part is all on you, buddy.

We all live in different cities so we're all talking about different situations. It depends on the area and also the nature of the infrastructure. The parts of Melbourne I'm talking about do have the demand for infrastructure. Melbourne's growth corridor in the west is exploding in...

Actually, there is no link between suburban living and obesity. There is a link between lower socio economic areas in English-speaking countries and obesity. It just so happens that our outer suburbs tend to be lower on the socio economic scale. In New York or any other high density...

The thing about Melbourne is, the outer suburbs in growth corridors are mostly in the west and to a lesser extent the north which has always been neglected development-wise. Thus, many the new outer suburbs in the west or even the north are only as far out as the middle ring suburbs in the east...

Yes, I corrected that. Perhaps the SA government is more efficient?

I'm not talking about 10 people to a hectare living in the sticks, I'm talking about very built up estates within 30kms on the city which have more than enough demand to justify supply. Also, nice dig at me for not being 'environmentally conscious' because I'm apparently pro-urban sprawl...

South Morang station in Melbourne was first promised during 1999 election. It was completed in 2012. It cost $498 million to add the station and the track, though that included revamping one or two of the pre-existing stations. How much would a whole line blow out to?

It doesn't really cost more to build a school or a hospital 30kms from the city than 5kms. In fact, it's cheaper as the land is cheaper.

Our forefathers would not have sold off crown land to short sighted developers if they didn't believe infrastructure could keep up with population increases. A lot of the public transport links went out to what was then considered 'the sticks' back in the day, you know? During...

Yes, all the major infrastructure projects are being built in the outer suburbs, but they take forever to complete and cost an absolute fortune. A single train station addition can take years and hundreds of millions of dollars, let alone adding a whole new line. Our forefathers would...

I spent most of my life living in inner city 'dog boxes'. I hated it. For some people, the lifestyle is great. For others, it's entirely unsuitable. We're pet-orientated homebodies who like our personal space. When we bought our home, the most important thing was that it be a detached...
