Eventually, they'll also wake up that if they want the population to increase 50% in the next 20 years, and retain some greenery, buildings will have to be higher, and demolition control will have to be relaxed aggressively. Wooden Qld'ers weren't designed or built to last 200+ years.
Buying around satellite hubs to pre-empt zoning changes would be a reasonable strategy, over the next 10 years.
