    Redfern update

    Redfern update

    love the website! I first read about gulmarg in an aussie ski mage (think it was powderhound) in the mid 90's. I was in high school, getting my snow fix by camping at jindabyne and hitching up the hill. There was a great story of a guy who wnet there on a rumour, it was partially open (it...

    Redfern update

    thanks ajax, agree the rocks was a good outcome, and some blend of old and new can be historically valuable + trendy. Agree the poets corner towers are an eyesore, but there will be fireworks there as well as the block of course - interesting to see how he goes. Unfortunately many tenants...

    dyu mean the 3 big (8 or so storeys) brown towers known as "poets corner" on young st or some of the 3 storey walk up buildings?

    Redfern update

    I guess it goes all the way to societal models. I think the the best societal model out there is a truly benevolent dicatorship - someone who knows whats best for the people and can do it with good intentions and no red tape. I guess there have been some nations throughout history that may...

    Redfern update

    Also p147 "The only resident who have something to fear are those who are dishonest and/or bludging off the system." or perhaps the 70 yr olds who have been in the same unit for 40yrs, have been gardening in the local community garded for the last 10yrs and may be forced out to a new...

    Redfern update

    Thanks Peter 147 I know that there are also other (here and overseas) examples of revamps that have worked. I was not implying that any revamp is a bad thing. What concerns me is that the current bill before legislation will give sartor wide ranging powers to make all kinds of planning...
