Dear Kev Binge Building

About Binge Building
... Dear Kev


I understnad you 're concerned about binge drinking and yes it is terrible but there are always going to be one too many teens who believe they have a right to "party" unfortunately usually the ones who arent there to clean up the mess.

One possible solution would to be to make them go back and do the cleanup while they still have the hangover however I'm also concerned about solutions for other problems?

Speaking of parties perhaps the group who had their "gangsta" party at that Sydney High should have been made to wipe up all the broken glass before they were arrested?)


However Australia has other problems

Binge Building... this is a terrible plague?

Kev if you read the newspapers and dont just get the office staff to highlight or clip out the best bits you have probably noticed the many writers who claim the solution to the housing crisis is to "release more Crown land"?

Do any of these writers actually live at Camden or Berowra or in some other outer suburb and have to commute to the city? Do they live in the Southern Highlands?

Or Vaucluse? St. Ives? Castlcrag? Glenhaven with a SUV rather than Kellyville waiting for the crowded express bus?

Most of us want to live closer to the city? Apart from the long commute building in the outer suburbs means more farms and market gadrens and orchards converted to housing that people cant afford to pay for anyway and of course the cost of food goes up yet again and the quality downwards.

Kev when was the last time you went into the greengrocers or fruiterers or supermarket and experienced the joy of contemplating the inverse relationship of qualtiy to price of produce ... oh so slightly wilted produce?


Want to create more affordable housing?

Threaten the developers with a tax audit and point out to them if they want tax cuts they'll only get one if they ... say make every tenth unit or house they own and rent available as public or low income housing for students or workers from country areas who need to move to the city and the disabled and elderly who need to be near medical faculties?

Yes I know owners have expenses but keeping rents down so people have more money to spend is good for the whole economy!

Hope you're having a good time on the "Hello World I'm Kev!" Intro Tour!

P.S. Dont forget to watch out for those cameras!
I'm sure Dubya got the joke but clearly other people didn't?

Yours sincerely a Humble Voter
