How to fix South Australia

[moses]

For any South Aussies (or those interested), an interesting article from Alexander Downer on strategies to fix SA. What are people thoughts? There are some valid points, particularly on the conservative nature of decisions in this state.

The Adelaide newspapers are easily the biggest rags Ive ever read. Start with burning them down.

Don't let old bank buildings remain unoccupied.

Actually fresh water to drink will make a change from consuming mud.

Look, its a struggle to find anything to talk about when it comes to South Australia. That parts that aren't desert are:

1. Vineyards
2. Radioactive Desert
3. Adelaide
4. Shark infested.

The least you could have done is liked my post. Bah.

wow, don't let ignorance get in the way of a poor post.

We all know how this thread will turn out. South Australia is a cesspool, it's a dump, feral, bogan, third-world etc. etc. etc.

Coming from someone who grew up in Adelaide, I didn't think there was a problem with the water....

until I moved to Melbourne -

Whenever I am back in Adelaide I can't stand the tap water...

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

I can tell the difference for sure. But that's not why I was being saracstic. It's been done to death and it is boring as batshit. Every city has their pros and cons. End thread.

It's not that I don't know. It's that I don't care that I don't know.

Should we close thread? it's not fixable is it?

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Neither are Melbourne's numerous problems.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Kill everybody over 40.

And if Alexander Downer can't be bothered to write real paragraphs I can't be bothered reading.

yet you still continue to post.

a mod not only derailing a thread but actively trolling it.

good to see Moderators keep some form of conduct up

SA is a great place to live despite the popular misconception on the Eastern Seaboard.

 

[Ghostwriter]

As a South Australian who doesn't live in Adelaide my concern is that it's leaders are obsessed with trying to match it with other big cities in Australia and the world, the city of Adelaide should have a max population of around 700,000 with the regional cities taking up more size, we will always be a small state, get used to it, the expansion of the Greater Adelaide has been North - South which has created logistical problems with South rd which is not big enough to carry all the traffic. The entrance into Adelaide via Glen Osmond rd is a disgrace, if a city like Bakersfield can afford to elevate freeways why can't Adelaide, take the Freeway from the tollgate up over the top and down to Greenhill rd and be done with it, but you know what? it won't happen because the latte sippers from the eastern suburbs won't allow it.
The major tourist attraction Adelaide has is the climate, do they sell it?
Just did a speed read of Downers column, what piffle, this bloke has no idea, build 5 star accomodation, pretty much admits that SA is racist too, but what the heck all of Australia is anyway, tourists won't come here, big populations shouldn't be here, the car industry should be moved offshore, smaller is better for SA.

Adelaide is a decent Truckstop to be honest.

South Australian desert is ****ing spectacular, do mushrooms in the middle of the Simpson Desert and you will never look at the world the same way again.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Wikipedia says Adelaide already has around 1,200,000 people.

How exactly do you foresee 500,000 people (and their jerbs) up and moving to vastly smaller places?
