Yet like Hasbeen my taxes, which have been as high as 68 cents in the dollar paid for all those overcrowded city roads, but bugger all out here! City centrics couldn't rip up the rail lines quick enough, so that B doubles could add to the congestion!
And resist common sense planning like long overdue decentralization, which would end the congestion and return housing affordability!
Of course there is an element for whom housing affordability would mean ruin, or a profit graph going down; or, going going gone sold to the lady from China!
And you can hear them scream no all the way to the black stump! Or accuse those who believe the next generation should also get the fair go afforded to their parents by sensible forward planning of being green? Better to be green than a feckless imbecile!?
