I do find it strange that with all our usable land, we're already at the point of high density, unit styled housing.
We have SO much land, but the value is acknowledged, so it's worth a lot. So we cram it in despite there being tonnes of it.
Australia is the new world. Along with NZ. Like America 100 years ago. I personally feel it doesn't need to be like this yet. But, here we are.
Brisbane is nothing like America, where people can buy houses at 1/4 of the price we do and can buy everything they need at half the price, like furniture appliances and cars. American has 10x more cities than we do.
Brisbane is a shit area and peaked in about 1985-1995 according to my dad. He finished HS just before Expo88 and said it was probably the best time to live in Brisbane. He said that back then you could barely even see one person who was from India or Asia.
Your dad is from where overseas? Russian? Yugoslavia? Polish? South Africa? I'm picking places that aren't Asian or Indian.
To be honest, it sounds like it was shit. How did he get a good curry? Or kick ass dumplings?
This is the new world. Everyone is here. The whole world lives in Australia. That's what makes it great.
