The sinister playbook of the sociopath!

The sinister playbook of the sociopath!
Not a fan of the ADU as a wholesale densification strategy in general. There have been a couple of different tranches/policies here in Sydney. Yes it has some merit, but for such an inept density it results in the significant removal of tree canopy (notably straddling the rear of residential lots).

7/6 over clocking the count!
How recent initiatives by NSW Planning (early to mid 2025) are unlikely to move the dial for much needed housing diversity in Sydney’s middle ring suburbs.

The NSW Low to Mid-rise reforms (LMR) have been referred to as the most ambitious planning reforms in NSW in decades. But does the policy reflect the ambition? And, do the more recent and compliment...

Just travelled to Milan. Impressive for a whole range of reasons but in relation to housing, the whole city seems to be made up of plans across time that are similar in cross section (no more than 2 rooms deep). I continue to be astonished that we can’t get close to this in Australia.

Yes, I wonder who? 🤔
Extraordinary how myopic we are to the way the system works, and accordingly the means to fixing it.

This does not mean there are not still bad housing policy ideas out there that should be challenged. But getting better housing policy is not as simple as overturning a particular ‘dominant view’ - if anything, it’s more about educating and compromising.

My understanding based on some informal tax advice was; in a retail context ‘yes’ full fees should be quoted, but in a B2B context; quote as ‘$ for service + GST’ is fine. Not sure where you might go to confirm that position. ATO website?

Shocking arrangement.
Buildings absolutely too deep.
Courtyard - better described here as a light well - of little benefit beyond a token window to some shockingly dark apartment with no outlook, beyond the opposite - most likely - living room window of another terrible apartment.

This is bonkers. I moved to Vienna from the UK in January to a district that is entirely new-build. Within a 5 minute walk of my front door there are 4 supermarkets, a chemist, a doctor, 6 playgrounds, a park, a tram stop and at least 3 schools. Why is it so outlandish to expect the same in Britain?
