This was not previously the case It was a while ago when I visited Melbourne but driving to my then-gf's family's home I was astonished by the urban sprawl. I think it was in the North Melbourne suburbs. Guessing it is a situation very similar to the USA where there is just a shitload of available land and people understandably want a house to themselves for their family or whatever, but it seems to remove any possibility of any local community. This is coming from London where there is the opposite problem, pretty high density population and good local amenities pretty much everywhere, but the buildings are almost all >100 years old and built without luxuries like foundations or any insulation, then partitioned up so a family home is now 5 flats containing 10+ people. UK builders and developers are also total bastards and having lived temporarily in a brand new terrible house in Oxfordshire I would be extremely reluctant to get anything new I didn't build myself.
