Nice idea but it's too late for this. Sydney's geographically spread and density is a historical construct and unless you intend undertaking mass compulsory acquisitions of homes (for which there is zero political will) , there will be little change during our lifetimes.
Under these laws developers can just buy the block next door to you and build a block of units and you can't do nothin.
Given the momentum of the economy that's what's necessary. We have nothing else but grow and hope economics.
Better get used to having rich Chinese next door looking into your backyard.
Of course there's little will from the likes of you. That's why it's being done on the quiet.
Fuck, it took the biggest nimby rusted on liberal hypocrites, those at 2gb, to put it out there. The other media is less hypocritical.

Sounds like you need a shag.
I think I just need to get out of Sydney. I'll come and live next door to you?
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.
show me a country with economics which doesn't involve growth you fuckwit.
I mean it's dependent on mass immigration and building houses you deranged scum.

The $$ will always be benefial to those indivuals who have have made the effort to invest in inner city development. The NIMBYS can rant to their councils but hey when you live in inner city it's going to be high density zoning conditions.
Some freaks are alreading protesting in areas for West & North Perth..piss off.
Newjerk? can you try harder than dig up another person's blog. My first promo was with Billabong and my name in English is modified with a T, am Perth born but also lived in Sydney to make my $$ 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.

The house next door is a terrace on 154sqm that will sell for $1.3m+. It's going to be a pretty funny unit block they build.

They could buy the one next door to that too, and the next one. Knock them down and build one of those slimy apartment blocks.
But yeah you should be ok if you're living in a terrace.

It won't just be inner city, it will be everywhere!

Sydney is such a poorly designed city. For a city of its size (4.5 million) a metropolitan stretching over 60km+ east to west and 60km+ north to south is totally absurd. The ratio of commercial to residential buildings in the CBD is also absurd, and it is one of the key reasons why there is no street life in the city on the weekends, and why it is dead on weeknights after 8pm.
If it is done properly (being mindful of heritage values and public transportation) the inner city could become quite liveable and dense. The cantilever idea to place apartment buildings across the railway lines between Central and Redfern is a prime example of smart planning.
Who needs smart? Just get rid of planning restrictions altogether and start building 30 story apartments everywhere. And f&ck heritage values, bunch of whiny pinko socialist nostalgics. Clear the terrace houses, put up high rises in the inner west.
Transport has been overcrowded and shit for 50 years, Sydneysiders are used to it. Scale up the density 10-20 times in a 15km radius of the CBD. We could fit half the population of Sydney in that area. Baby Boomers can downsize, Hongkies and Mainlanders can buy up apartments for their families. Let the great construction boom/transformation of Sydney begin! We don't need horizons, we need skylines!
Very true.
A lot of Australian cities are like that.
Dead as dodos during the week.
Had some overseas visitors stay with me on their way back from Sydney.
Went out for a Wednesday pint to be greeted by a sea of empty bars and streets.
Property acquisition as a topic was almost a national obsession. You couldn't even call it speculation as the buyers all presumed the price of property could only go up. That’s why we use the word obsession. Ordinary people were buying properties for their young children who had not even left school assuming they would not be able to afford property of their own when they left college- Klaus Regling on Ireland. Sound familiar?
The evidence of nearly 40 cycles in house prices for 17 OECD economies since 1970 shows that real house prices typically give up about 70 per cent of their rise in the subsequent fall, and that these falls occur slowly. Morgan Kelly:On the Likely Extent of Falls in Irish House Prices, 2007

Actually, you don't even have to buy houses. Just buy the green space and start there. There are dozens of small parks in the inner west, as long as they don't have a perpetual covenant on them the State government can sell them to developers who can then put up a nice 6-25 story apartment block (depending on proximity to flight paths). Take something like Camperdown Park, the undeveloped part of which is 28,000 sqm, but under Flight Path 16L/34R. You could build an apartment complex 6 stories high there that could house thousands of people. And that is just one of dozens of parks that could be developed, not least of which is Sydney Park in Alexandria, which could literally house tens of thousands of people.
The incumbent government wouldn't care about voter backlash, because those suburbs are full of champagne socialist pretentious twats who vote Labour/Greens/Independent anyway. Once all of the green space had been redeveloped as residential apartments, the twats will sell up, allowing developers to continue the process on places where existing dwellings sit.
And if the developer has to pay 8 million for 6 terraces houses in Newtown? So what? They are going to build 80 apartments and sell them for 1 million a piece.

Yep. I wish Fatty and Tony would get on with it. I want some "lefty" blood!
Where will the twats go? There's nowhere for them to go! Suck shit!
They might have to go to Brisbane or something.

I think most people who work in the city live at least a half hour away.
Anyway the city has been a cultural wasteland for years.

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.
