New article:
Property owners hate more supply and competition...
even though they pretend to love it.
"Property owners make money from selling and renting property. Yet they claim that land use regulations decrease housing supply and should be removed, despite standing to benefit financially from higher prices and less competition"

Protect the heritage car park! Lol
This is wild. A proposal to put 35 townhouses on a surface parking lot in Bentleigh has been rejected by the local council AND the appeals tribunal because of "unacceptable neighbourhood character outcomes".

Who said Sydney doesn’t cycle? 🚲
I counted 13 people (6 behind me as well). This was just one wave and we weren’t waiting very long.
Location: George St / Cleveland St heading into the city.

Today Labor rammed their housing plan through the House. This is a plan that will see the shortage of social and affordable housing grow, do nothing for renters, and lock in a real cut in housing funding every year. It will see the housing crisis get worse.

You call yourself "Grand Central" yet you're located 30 km from the Melbourne CBD...
ALT Facebook advertisement for "Stockland Grand Central" housing estate, pictures of single family homes surrounded by empty grasslands as far as the eye can see, text reads "30 km to Melbourne CBD".

Total nonsense but kinda funny. Map translates European country names to Chinese, then literally translates them back to English. I like that I was born in Moral-land. Very fitting description of German self-righteousness. Source buff.ly/2FPyEKc

What happens when you ask an AI to generate "Human Evolution."
This is terrifying.
People on the left that are leaving twitter to join another service are not helping our global problem of online echo chambers.
It’s reminiscent of when Trump supporters left and started joining right wing apps.
Is anyone worried about this?

Ok so I wanted to break down why exactly this “1 million homes” announcement is frankly, complete bullshit. 🧵

This is visionary!
Imagine if 2 of the most popular #railtrails in Victoria, if not Australia, were linked. It's only a mere 30kms.
