I get that these ruins with roofs need to be demolished. And then redeveloped as parks and gardens! To improve the quality of inner city living!

And because we can both chew gum and walk, crack on with the building of rapid rail! And with that in mind the resumption of the requisite corridor!

Which given we would see this amenity self-fund? Would need to be 16 kilometres wide. And given we did just that in rural areas, later rezoning from rural to urban, pay for the build and roll-out of new nation-building, rapid rail!

With the urban section, an underground system to avoid resuming very much urban land!

Particularly when essentially condemned structures/cottages on 8002M can be sold at auction for a ridiculous 2 million.

How much would it have been sold for if it were rezoned as future public green space? And then allow sanity to prevail rather than unmitigated greed?

This approach could also bring down the cost of rezoning of an essential transit corridor! Albeit, accompanied by the, wounded bull, howls of the white shoe brigade!

Sorry but this is just more Cultural & e-CON-omic Marxism.

Leftist globalisation & de-industrialisation of the west is what this is combined with leftist corruption.
