Its a fine example of Perth grand tradition of sprawl.

Pack you’re bags cockatoos you’re apparently all moving down to Williams.

Wow, those engines look a bit Star Warsy.

Pretty sure my left butt cheek weighs more than that plane.

How’re the cars? The insurance companies must be crappin themselves.

Yeah, lack of viable options due to budgetary constraints is definitely a chunky segment for sure, but by no means doesn’t make the whole.

A couple examples of indicative behaviour are,

Joondalup city having to rip out paved curbs areas that residents laid for extra parking instead keeping or planting foliage.

Or Seville Grove having public trees ripped out by residents of the area the trees were planted in,

Theres just a sizeable segment of our population that don’t appreciate the natural environment in any meaningful way. It does ourselves a disservice to ignore this cohort, because they present a different sort of obstacle to effective climate action at a local level.

Like the article speaks to, the developers are pushing on an open door with their customers/residents when it comes to no trees.

Theres a ‘language?/mode of communication?’ these people are speaking back and forth, from resident to developer, that i don’t hear, or if i do, i’m not understanding. Its irrational, but many are actively opting for housing like this.

I’m so interested to see the results from this QLD election. The Katter-abortion issue i’ve really seen as analogous to the USA’s much talked about ‘October Surprise’.

I think its through Kofi?

I’ve only ever noticed it with international travel, but haven’t done that in a while so things could’ve changed in that situation as well.

Cheers. I’ll have to get stuck in tomorrow night on this now, its too late, time for rest and bed :)

Hi!

Moderator from !perth@aussie.zone here.

Just been playing around using the spoiler tags as makeshift drop down lists in the sidebar for the Perth/WesternAustralia community, and noticed the ‘spoiler’ markdown formatting isn’t recognised in the ‘about’ page on the Sync app. :)

In light of another post on the community, i’m questioning myself.

Am I falling for some populist drivel here, or is this an actual problem being highlighted?

Populist rhetoric for bored politicians who should be concentrating on the pressing issues in their portfolios, not passing inane comment on the collections of the State’s posterity focused institutions.

First thing a WA liberal has come out on in about a decade that i agree with.

Damn right it is. I’m not sure i blame anybody, seems its just a general lack of fucks given, with inspiring and notable exceptions.

A Liberal tack to the climate could be a real vote winner here, but they’ll of course lose mining money so thats no chance.

I went through lastnight and did the whole list on c/Perth/WA to experiment.

• On my browser, firefox, it worked nicely.

On apps, less so.

• Jerboa doesn’t have the labels, just the arrow icon, but otherwise seems to work.
• Sync doesn’t seem to recognise Mark Up in the sidebar/about section, so its a mess.

Be interested to hear what it looks like on other apps/browsers and what peoples general thoughts.

I want to implement something like this on c/environment but if its going to look messy for lots of people, i’ll have another think.

Oh my god, haha, my bad!

Oh, i see! :)
