It's not documented but I'm pretty sure that there are more meth houses in the GC than there were in 2011. It might just be me, but the GC has always been about pipe dreams (ignore the pun associations with meth). It has always been the place where dreams are made and lost; where the trashy con commune; and where randomness isn't too far away.
True true. The Gold Coast isn't the lovely beachside city it was duri g the earlier booms, discounting the last leg up that was just a speculative bubble anyway. This is why I doubt it will ever come back in price. The units are all getting old and losing value and will be worthless by the time this coming depression is past. Add another decade and all the canal estates will be threatened by sea level rise.

I'm waiting for the rise of a similar surf gang on the GC similar to the Bra Boys. It might even exist already.

Yes, the gold coast has always attracted people who were down on their luck. Ultimately their 'luck' was caused by their own choices, and moving to the coast invariably doesn't solve the problems, but now the community ends up with yet another dead shit to deal with.
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.
