I'm sure that forcing children to be raised in stacked, "ticky tacky" tiny boxes will be good for their mental and physical health. Houses are only for the deserving "Progressives" on the public coin; who won't buy battery hen eggs.

What is this crazy love affair all these planners have with Copenhagen, could it be they like the entertainment to be had there?

Strange, when we are living longer & healthier lives than ever before anywhere, the AMA start bleating this stuff. Pardon me if I start believe there is a quid in it somewhere for them.

NO! Cramming more and more folk into ever more compact cities is a recipe for pro rata increased crime rates and far poorer mental health outcomes!

The NBN, teleconferencing and rapid rail would likely serve improved health outcomes far better, as would affordable housing, sustainable economic growth and truly affordable health care!

I think Hasbeen is on to something here? 1, 4 u, 2, 4 me?

Years ago I read the results of a laboratory experiment on overcrowding.

They started adding numbers of lab rats to a number of enclosures, over different periods of time. The rats continued to have plenty of food, & were well looked after, just their numbers were steadily increased.

It did not matter how quickly or slowly the numbers were increased, once a certain level of crowding was reached the rats turned on each other, & started killing each other.

A quick glance at the behaviour in Kings Cross, the Valley or other entertainment precincts on weekends indicates that perhaps we have already exceeded our level of tolerable overcrowding.

Is it possible that the objective of our elite planners is to make us turn on each other? It is hard to believe that this could be the case, but then, it is hard to even imagine any other reason for this type of stupidity by planners & elite medicos.
