can1983 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 So I'm putting it out there. Saw the discussion around the Ponds in Western Sydney. If this was my only option in Sydney I'd leave Sydney. If this was my only option in Australia I'd leave Australia. Why would people saddle themselves with a 30 year mortgage to live here 45km from the beach? There's less space than what's afforded to livestock. It makes me so sad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they social housing? If not I wonder how much each of those dwellings cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A million dollars for a house is very cheap by Sydney standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither. That's why I moved to Melbourne, rather than move to Sydney's outer burbs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
