Went yesterday to view a "Home Open". It's a new townhouse, one of 5. I hated it, small windows looking over the neighbours' blank walls, steep staircase, low ceilings and tiny rooms. All this for only $890K . But what really got me, was the proportion of courtyard to the car spaces. The courtryard was tiny, 1 x 2 m with a postage stamp of grass and a sickly looking sapling of some bush. The garage, driveway, parking and turning spaces, all black asphalt, were HUGE in comparison, 40% of the plot. We, as a comunity, must be crazy to give 50 times more space to our cars than to grass and plants in our houses!!!
