I like the design of Wellard, the main part at least. Not sure about the new parts. It's all built up so you can walk around to the shops, the train, the pub/wine bar/giant tavern they are building. And it's only a half hour train trip to the city so it's good for city workers. Having said that, anything involving getting on the freeway is hosed.

She lives in the "suburban prison" section. It's a good 15 minute drive to the local shops and it just looks depressing. I don't know what the state government were thinking by allowing it. From what I've seen there's little going on there and the main appeal is that it's cheap. I don't think that's a good basis for any property development and just sets the whole community up for a variety of social blight.

When I used to drive a lot visiting worker's homes in the new western suburbs I was just hosed by the time I got home because the hours were long, but mainly because it was really oppressive out there. E: like you're driving around "Melbourne" with no mobile coverage, there are no people, no services or even basic shopping high streets with a fish and chip shop... Bad.

Australians have a pathological hatred of apartments so severe that they'll literally boil to death in a black-roofed shitbox that can barely fit a piece of paper between it and the neighbours eaves with zero access to public transport or services instead. Our city is currently doing a densification program around our rail corridors (we have a bunch of train stations) and the local MPs are seriously posting pictures of ten-storey apartment blocks that are two minutes walk from the train station and five minutes walk from the loving CBD with a huge, well-maintained, beautiful park going "where will the children play?!" while people shriek about concrete jungles and China. Half the people demanding these tiny-rear end strips of backyard don't do anything with it except mow it. Their kids don't play outside because of skin cancer and paedophiles and their entire existence is shuttling back and forth from pre-planned activities in an air-conditioned SUV, but my little Addyss'n-Annarleigh and Hunn'tyrr Tyllar need a backyard, do you want us to live like Asian sardines  e: oh and I forgot and in response to these people existing other people turn into YIMBYs who advocate for dumb poo poo like removing literally all land use zoning and height limits and letting developers build whatever they want wherever they want Quantum Mechanic fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Jul 6, 2018 |

Coming soon to a Dutton ministry near you: Trump Creates ‘Denaturalization’ Task Force to Pursue Deportation Against Thousands of U.S. Citizens quote:In June, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services quietly announced a new task force that will investigate “bad” naturalization cases, wherein the agency will hire dozens of lawyers and immigration officers “to find U.S. citizens they say should not have been naturalized, to revoke their citizenship, and then eventually deport them,” according to The Takeaway, from WNYC and Public Radio International. Question - when this inevitably comes here, can we get it to apply to Abbott?

The problem I see is the areas higher density makes any loving sense in WA is virulently opposed by the local NIMBY's. And there is no loving solution that will keep everyone happy unless someone makes insane promises to the locals or we can hold our collective breath for 50 years. Like if you want to live near the new children's Hospital coz you work there, good loving luck finding anywhere close because the locals have decided "gently caress off, we're full" is the rule of the day. Few subdivisions, few apartments, the locals have made it clear they do not want any more people. I don't know what the solution is - it's borderline impossible to make them care about other people, the environment and they aren't convinced that maybe it won't be that bad and that maybe that change should be happening closer to the city rather than overburdening the suburbs out the southern growth corridor even more. They don't care about the significant congestion already happening out toward Mandurah, or that maybe from an infrastructure perspective they can tolerate an extra 5,000 extra dwellings better than Cockburn central or wherever the gently caress all these apartment blocks are meant to go up.

Most apartments built these days are absolute dog poo poo in terms of design and quality so I don't necessarily begrudge people not liking them. I just wish they'd not like them for the actual reasons and not bullshit like:Quantum Mechanic posted:"where will the children play?!" Although there is definitely a case to be made for increasing the amount of public open space overall and also for providing a greater range of age/use/accessibility options for recreation in those spaces. Re building height: IMO we don't need anything over 6 storeys, but everything within 400m of a train station or tram stop should be between 4-6 storeys (scaling so that higher stuff is located near the PT).

In Adelaide the state government got tired of the nimby poo poo ACC stifling everything, and unceremoniously stripped the council's development approval committee of powers of approval for anything more expensive than a dunny block, and gave them to a new body established at the state level, leaving the council with the ability to provide non-binding advice. So far every application "rejected" by the council has gone on to be approved in some form by the state body, to the benefit of the metro area and state. Does help that Adelaide is highly centralised though, despite trying to keep up with Perth's sprawl.

So far every application "rejected" by the council has gone on to be approved in some form by the state body, to the benefit of the metro area and state. See, I don't think that's a good thing. People should get a say in what their neighbourhood looks like. The whole "state government saying gently caress you" has happened here in WA, particularly with a development right next to the Subiaco train station and while it ultimately got approved by the state government after an ongoing battle with Subiaco council the owners had lost interest in developing the site, the mining boom had ended and the construction industry had turned, so new developments - even ones near desirable rail corridors - became less appealing (i.e. coz they wouldn't make as much money). Like right now there's a development thats been approved for a ridiculously monstrosity in Scarborough beach, the locals are against it because it's huge, out of place, the local area doesn't have the infrastructure in terms of public transport (from memory they're also against public transport infrastructure, too, lol) and they're right to be concerned because despite all their input they've been ignored. The balancing act is at what point do the rights of the locals get overridden? What about the rights of all the people in the outer suburbs who are expected to just take all this additional development when the inner suburbs refuse to do the same? Is there a solution? I really don't know.

Leaving it to the locals guarantees you'll never get high density housing because NIMBYism locks in hard. Can't have high rises, they'll: block my solar panels, ruin my view, lower my property values! It should be left to urban planners because they have the scope and the stats. It should definitely not be left to property developers.

3 or 4 bedroom apartments are more expensive than getting a 2 bedroom old weatherboard that needs to be rebuilt or 3-4 bedroom house 2 hours out of the CBD.

The ABC has been told the Australian National University (ANU) system was first compromised last year. In a statement, the ANU said it had been working with intelligence agencies for several months to minimise the impact of the threat. "The university has been working in partnership with Australian government agencies for several months to minimise the impact of this threat, and we continue to seek and take advice from Australian government agencies," ANU said. Cyber Security Minister Angus Taylor said the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) would continue to assist the ANU in shutting the hackers out. "The Australian Cyber Security Centre works closely with any affected organisations to reduce the likelihood of threat actors being successful and to help them recover when they are compromised," he said in a statement. The IT breach has been described by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute's executive director Peter Jennings as "amazingly serious" and an "unacceptable situation". "It [ANU] probably should have actually been doing a better job at looking after its computer security and I find it astounding to hear that the hackers are still having access inside the ANU system," he said. "That strikes me as unbelievable." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-06/chinese-hackers-infilitrate-anu-it-systems/9951210
