Apartments are popping up in the most random, bullshit places.

Across the road from Yale Primary in Thornlie, Corner of Olga Rd & Attfield Rd in Maddington. Literally next to Beckenham train station. Cannington is nothing but new apartments lately.

today's apartments are tomorrows ghettos

unless we change our legal framework regarding residential leases and strata laws

 

[JackOutback]

To be fair, apartment complexes opposite train stations make sense. The Beckenham ones are just extended townhouses, two storeys. The genuine high rises in Canno seem odd now, but proximity to train station and shops make sense.

The apartments, Carousel getting a huge makeover, the traffic around Albany hwy and the big new Bunnings, I can see Cannington falling badly after the initial rise.

That might explain the widening of Sevenoaks Street that is taking place. Seemed a pretty quiet road to make four lanes but it is a pretty handy Cannington bypass.

I'm noticing a lot of nail pop on my ceiling in almost every room. And some ripples when I turn on the lights at night. Is this a cosmetic thing or will my ceiling fall at some point.

You mean your house hasn't completely collapsed yet with all these problems with it?

I said almost every room. The ones that have collapsed I obviously dont count those.

our strata laws currently favour the tenant, be it the renter or the owner occupier.

You only need one "dick head" disturbing the "quiet enjoyment of others" and suddenly good tenants move out. The incoming is a roulette game of good tenants or further bad.

Then like cancer the one bad tenant becomes two, three and four. Then comes the damage to common property which either increases holding costs or more likely owners give up on maintaining the property. A tired poorly maintained property reduces the rents and then the property becomes a "market for lemons" attracting even more dick heads.

This is how apartments are tomorrow's ghettos.

Then add the extra spice of this happening by design. As this is a strategy used to acquire 100% control of apartments or villas for redevelopment. One Italian redeveloper in Adelaide would move in Aborigines who could no longer secure government housing. The process above is repeated except on steroids until they acquired all the properties. They'd then move the aborigines out to the "new target" property and then redevelop their conquered property.

oh and the solution is in providing power to the body of owners where even a home owner could face eviction subject to kangaroo court controls.

100%

I'm a socialist when it comes to property and wished government or government JV'd with private enterprise to build quality apartments around these "social infrastructures".

They should have European quality plumbing so you don't hear neighbours toilets flushing, with quality insulation and quality fittings. This would have all been possible if the investment was in the building and not inflated land prices.


The other important concept is whole areas aren't rezoned pushing up prices. Where they are rezoned the rates and taxes should go through the roof forcing redevelopment which increases supply further capping prices.

Sadly though our rezoning has been poorly managed and instead of being a social benefit, it has been for the benefit of the wealthy. This is one of the biggest wealth redistributions we have seen being from the youth to the established.

That's owned by Glory owner Tony Sage, I have learned.

Edit: also thanks power raid

Surprised he hasn't run it into the ground.

most of the properties built by Sage are done in partnership with Barry Baltimas. Barry's an architect by trade and comes up with some great work.

his best though would be his fiancée Rebecca Frost........whoah!

ep2006 must live next to Chris Masten, he is known for always training the house down so maybe it has spread to ep's house.

I'm really surprised at the number of kids I see on bikes not wearing helmets these days. Pretty sure it is still law and back when I was a kid and the law first came in even schools were part of the enforcement group.

 

[perthblue]

I don't cycle because helmets look so uncool

 

[Beerfish]

I don't cycle because helmets look so uncool

I remember when helmets first came in kids would just ride to school with them hanging on the handlebars because it was 'uncool' but now there's not even a helmet in sight. I wonder how long it will be before some kid is squashed by a car and this all blows up in the news and the finger pointing starts. The way people drive these days it seems more important than ever that kids are made to wear helmets. I mean they even look pretty cool these days especially compared to what was going around when I was a kid. This was pretty much all there was.

 

[quotemokc]

Its hard enough forcing kids to do anything let alone wear ugly bike helmets.

Why not market a lightweight enclosed motorcycle helmet for kids to wear?

They would be safer since they are enclosed and kids wouldn't get embarrassed since their face is hidden anyway.

 

[Off The Couch]

Ffs, it’s their to help save your life not win a beauty contest. I can tell you that you’re going to look a darn sight worse when you come off it when you aren’t wearing it.

Either wear the protective gear or don’t ride and that applies to all the hipsters with their “beach” bikes as well.

Can’t underdtand why the police aren’t actively policing this

I think there would probably be blind spot issues with the first one. It seems a bit overkill for a bike on the road. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the second one though. I would have happily worn that as a kid.

 

[Beerfish]

Forward Press you're a teacher aren't you? Have you noticed this in school and if so do schools actually involve themselves at all nowadays?

So make a helmet with less blindspots, like I said make a lightweight kid version that doesn't look stupid and they will be more likely to wear it.
