lol if town houses worth over $500k+ minimum is a slum Id love to hear what you think of Sunhine...Kesington banks is fine-lots of well off people. Dont know how it would turn into a slum? QUOTE]
Slums of tomorrow mate, due to shoddy building practices. I've lived in and around that area for 13 years and saw many of those places go up.
BIL lived in one in Youlden street where the walls used to leak right down two stories (unless thousands have been spent, I would almost guarantee the place leaked like a sieve with the weekend's rain). Hubby is a plumber-handyman who does plenty of repairs in the area due to the shoddy standards.
High rises as on the Smithfield Road end, overlooking the racecourse - dark all day on the wrong side of the building, I'm told, and with fixtures and fittings falling apart even though the building is only about five years old. Hubby is regularly replacing blinds, taps, door handles and light fittings.
Oh, and FWIW, I think Sunshine is a great spot in the making. I'd take one of those 1970s brick veneer jobbies over a shoddily built piece of high-rise rubbish any day. But each to their own. You have a good day now.
