The Gold Coast's population has increased dramatically in recent times & many people work in Brisbane, yet there is still only really one road connecting the two (the M1), which is grossly inadequate. Every city seems to suffer from this ridiculous lack of foresight. That one road is MASSIVE improvement to what was there 10 years ago and has been planned for some growth. And in comparison to Sydney, it is positively light years ahead. Brisband has dedicated busways which are minimally impacted by freeway traffic. Sydney has nothing like that. Agree with BradS that while it is dreamworthy to say medium to high dense accommodation should be encouraged in cities, Sydney would need some serious infrastructure work (including reclaimation of existing properties) and the government simply does not have the money (or foresight) to go through with something like that. PS_Sirocco7 I believe building a house with 5+ bathrooms because your kids MIGHT stay at home as adults is just greedy and stupid. Yes, we get your point. But calling people greedy and stupid ain't going help and was/is unnecessary. A simple "I don't agree with large houses" without the insults would have been sufficient. 2010, June : Land bought (1700sqm, battleaxe block). That's it so far! We're in the design phase ....
