You remember the BP spill in the gulf and how years later they were still showing horrible misshaped shell fish, but at the same time people were still eating it?

Just because people grow vegetables in a heavy metal pollution area doesn't mean they're safe to eat. It just means eating them won't kill you instantly.

If you moved from the largest city in Australia to somewhere else like Adelaide, Darwin or Hobart you probably could own your house. Housing in San Fran, New York and other major American cities would be just as expensive

read- massively more expensive

Picture yourself when your trees are ready for harvest and you get paid less than a week's wage for your forty trees that you've been paying property taxes on for 60 years.

if you are saying that people trying to find new constructive beneficial sustainable use for destroyed land should get tax breaks and incentives from the state then I agree

also once the trees are established the maintenance is extremely low, they're just trees

Are you saying major American cities are massively more expensive than Sydney? Because they aren't.

Sydney has some high rents but if you honestly compare downtown SF or manhatten they are not only higher but higher over a much larger geographic area
