Or does it take longer only when all the little drones attempt to "rush" the city?
Is it not faster to travel into the city 90% of the time?

Yes dickwad it is true. Even out of peak hour there is increased traffic on the roads increasing commute times. There are too many entrys and exits and not enough lanes. It is a simply case of bad planning. Nothing more. Nothing less.
My only hope for my three boys is that they turn out nothing at all like Chris.

And you bought there?
WHAT WOULD EDDIE DO? MAAAATE! Share a cot with Milton?
So what you are saying is that a new road is not better than an old road?
A new 3 lane freeway is not as good as an old drover trail because it increases net commuting times?
Wowee Matey, I thought I'd read it all.

Yes, my missus spends around 35 minutes on the freeway when she needs to go into the city at off peak times. She never spent any time on the Freeway at all before it was built. Just an hour and a bit meandering around the coast road and then another 45 minutes snaking her way up from the Fremantle traffic bridge through Nedlands and so on.
You bloody idiot.

It is faster 100% of the time if you compare it to when the road or improvement wasn't there.
It is slower 100% of the time if you compare it to the day when the new road or improvement was first implemented.
Matey likes to make his comparison with the day the road or improvement was first implemented and rules out the massive gains made up to that point.
Matthew, 30 Jan 2016, 09:21 AM Your simplistic view is so flawed it is not worth debating. The current oversupply will be swallowed in 12 months. By the time dumb shits like you realise this prices will already be rising.

For that to be true your "missus" would need to be averaging 94km per hour on her journey.
77 km per hour to cover 45km in 35 minutes.
Doofus.

I do have to say that general Perth road planning design is crappy, sections of fwy with no emergency lane and some with two piddly lanes.
In peak times some resort to exiting via the emergency lane. Even the redesign, bypass of Tonkin hwy near Perth Airport is terrible in its planning.
Embarrassing really.
Go overseas more people and traffic goes smoothly.. but not Perth's.
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ It's Absolutely Fabulous if it includes brilliant locations, & high calibre tenants..what more does one want? Understand the power of the two "P"" or be financially challenged Even better when there is family who are property mad and one is born in some entitlements.....Understand that beautiful women are the exhibitionists we crave attention, whilst hot blooded men are the voyeurs ... A stunning woman can command and takes pleasure in being noticed. Seems not too many understand what it means to hold and own props and get threatened by those who do. Banks are considered to be law abiding and & rather boring places yeah not true . A bank balance sheet will show capital is dwarfed by their liabilities this means when a portions of loans is falling its problems for the bank.
Hong Kong is a metropolis with a finite amount of devopment land and (according to you), so is Perth.
You have been arguing tooth and nail that Perth has a fixed boundary beyond which land has no development value. You have long laboured the point that the real value is within the centre and that subdivision of centrally located property is the future.
So are you now saying that Perth house prices can't be compared with prices in Hong Kong?
Seems like you are now making a case against your own argument.
Not unusual for you.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
