Surrounding parks with highways and unnavigable stroads is a huge L. A great way to limit a cities green space usage.

Density unlocks competition. Sleepy South Caulfield with the glow up.

Set backs still suck though

Have Yarra council considered Coppin St modal filter? I rode past it today and clearly cars don't use it

My main housing, economic, and environmental policy is just "apartment with an Aldi". The absolute peak of urbanism. Any policy that gets us to having these all over Australia is good.

At least it's got a shelter! I want to make a video about this one on Punt Road. Angle doesn't do it justice but the curve in the road means you drive directly at them.

Resurfacing my street without a proper redesign. What a wasted opportunity.

Most of Melbourne is boring because low density sprawl makes interesting things unviable.

These micromanaging planners need to get in the bin.
