When someone's example does not prove your point it is cherry picking is it?
The example I provided was to point out (in conjunction with my earlier posts) that what info is being force-fed to the community about 'not economic' and 'need to increase density' and 'affordable housing requires high rise rezonings' etc etc - do not stand up to examination.
I talked about the two suburbs adjacent to me - as I know them well and have witnessed the State Govt and RCC as well as the Greater Sydney Commission blatantly lying to the Parliament and wider community.
Just as much about the NBN does not match reality (and never will) - the point is the claim that we need greater density is normally followed by requests from the normal donor developers to rezone areas that are already high density by all but China/HK/Singaporean standards.
You chose to pick apart the comparison with London but what about the other major cities I previously mentioned like Munich, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin, Paris etc etc.
They have significantly LOWER density than London or Kingsford or Kensington.
Why did you choose to cherry pick vs London and not San Francisco or Paris?
Why indeed?
What about Germany as a whole then? Significantly higher population but spread out in many cities. Add 5 largest German and 5 largest Australian cities and Australian cities make 5 of 6 largest.
