    and are generally classified as shit areas as a result.

    But that’s subjective yeah ? I’m hear visiting my 83yr old mother on the Sunshine Coast over Christmas, this place is to me a literal “shit hole”. It’s mostly a sprawling mess of hot terrible housing with acres of concrete and asphalt with a car needed to do anything and zero redeeming qualities. For a few days prior I visited my sister in Brisbane, another sprawling mess of hot terrible housing with zero redeeming features.

    I used to live in an apartment I owned on the 10th floor with an ocean view on the Gold Coast, cool beezes, a walk to swimmable broadwater and a tram and train were some compensation.

    The tiny rural town in Tasmania I now live in to me is comparative nirvana. There are basic houses near me for sale starting with a 3 and quite nice ones starting with a 4. We have a little van, as for sure u need a car occasionally but we mostly walk or cycke. I filled it up in August and it’s still on 1/2 a tank.
