I completely understand the dream of this couple and I would love to do it myself, but it's wholly unsustainable to allow people to set up home anywhere.

If I hit a cop, I can be killed. If a cop hits me, I can sue. And they get no consequences.
"It is my experience that many illegal drugs that are extensively used on the street result in people becoming extremely unpredictable, irrational and violent" says unpredictable, irrational and violent copper.
Dehumanising much?

The Parra metro station construction site has been a bit of a dead zone for a while. Finally filling it will make a massive difference to its CBD.
While there's a case for more offices, if you're going to go with apartments, you may as well go big:
"Four towers of up to 43 storeys will be built above or next to the new Parramatta railway station following the planned opening of the 24-kilometre Metro West line between Sydney CBD and Westmead in 2032.
"The over-station development just north of Parramatta Square will feature 470 apartments – up from 111 outlined in concept plans – and 500 units for student accommodation. It will feature pedestrian laneways and a landscaped park that will form part of a civic link connecting the station to the new Powerhouse Museum and Parramatta River foreshore.
"A 43-storey tower comprising the 470 build-to-rent apartments will be five storeys higher than originally outlined in the concept plans. Subject to planning approval, a 29-storey office building, a 24-level tower for student accommodation and an eight-storey hotel will also be built on the site."

NSW's native forests are worth more standing than shredded into woodchips. They protect wildlife, store carbon, safeguard water catchments and belong to future generations, not logging companies.
Premier Minns promised better. Time to end industrial native forest logging and protect what little remains. Add your voice.#nswpol #forests #koalas #climate

People, mostly from working class suburbs, lost a record $9.3 billion on the pokies in the past year.
That's in New South Wales alone!
"Punters lost a record $9.3 billion on NSW poker machines last year – a surge of 8 per cent on the previous 12 months – as a sophisticated lobbying effort by the gambling industry stalls progress on political pledges to reduce harm in suburbs across Sydney.
"Newly released figures reveal $785 million was lost in the Canterbury-Bankstown area alone, as well as $720 million in Fairfield, $535 million in the Cumberland local government area, $420 million in central Sydney and $355 million on the Central Coast.
...
"The losses represent about $179 million each week – or $1.1 million per hour – with most of the damage occurring in some of Sydney’s most disadvantaged suburbs, according to the Liquor and Gaming NSW report.
"The state government’s independent panel on gambling reform produced a series of harm minimisation recommendations in December 2024 which were savaged by the pubs and clubs industry as going too far, and by reform advocates as not doing enough."

"The national snitches network have been spewing the narrative that they are “revolutionaries” and will not cooperate with the state.
The evidence would suggest otherwise.
Amongst the ranks of their organisation are the relatives of police officers, cop callers, statement givers and informants.
Thomas “Soup Can Shitler” Sewell is on record from a neo nazi livestream admitting he provided information on fellow inmates whilst incarcerated.
In summary: Nazis do talk to cops."
