I do find it strange that with all our usable land, we're already at the point of high density, unit styled housing.
We have SO much land, but the value is acknowledged, so it's worth a lot. So we cram it in despite there being tonnes of it.
Australia is the new world. Along with NZ. Like America 100 years ago. I personally feel it doesn't need to be like this yet. But, here we are.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Zag's reply summed it up pretty well, but yeah, building lots of car-centric sprawl and bringing the socio-economic and environmental issues that come with it is a bad idea
