Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
To me, the bigger questions are why we would want commuter rail from these extreme outer suburbs and county towns to feed in to Adelaide City. If it's available, the "induced demand" argument will fill these outer suburbs with people intending to commute to Adelaide, then complaining abou...

:lol: people outraged at a proposed pub redevelopment to the point they're in the streets protesting in front of parliament, while there's actual issues like the cost of living crisis, people ending up homeless, kids going hungry, the mental health crisis, while hundreds of millions are thrown at w...

The supports they just happened to surprisingly build strong enough for the tower they absolutely weren't planning from the start.

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
[A WHOLE HEAP OF ASPIRATIONAL STUFF] Looking at the size of the whole Riverlea development and how much as been built so far, it's easy to guess that most of the future homeowners are still at school now. We have the opportunity to help them recognise a "new normal" that is different than...

On another note re this precinct....those gum trees in front of the festival centre!!?? Can anyone imagine large eucalypts in front of the Sydney opera house? Trees in the park that give year round shade? The horror! I'm not opposed to trees in the park. Its just that given the prominence of the Fe...

Re: News & Discussion: Laneway & Streetscape Projects
Yeah, Grenfell Street (and Currie Street) need a massive uplift, but that should be combined with some form of State Govt PT plan.

Up close during the day it still looks pretty bad, but at nighttime quite good.

What sort of min-maxed cheap student housing block is ever going to have money spent on sound proofing? It wouldn't, but that's kind of the point. The problem isn't necessarily any sort of large development on this side of the city, and trying to fight that fight would absolutely be a losing battle...

why don't they just build this on the partially demolished Wright Street Hotel or the partially demolished King's Head hotel instead, since there's nothing else going on there right now. Or build it on the low-rise Wilson's parking next door. Literally anywhere else is better than this. So many der...

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development
Is the Telstra 67-69 Waymouth St telephone exchange being reclad? I notice both the front and western side have small bracket frames attached to large parts of these walls. We had a bit of a discussion about it last year when it was noticed that part of the building had paint stripes and a few pane...

This is definitely not sensational. If anything, it needs to be set back further and retain the existing space for a live music venue. http://wp.indaily.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/1200x800_borg-cube-over-cranker.jpg?resize=1313,876&quality=90 It's a pretty low quality image, not sure wha...

If you want a real laugh read the pathetic heritage impact statement in the planning submission.

Views are a privilege and not a right. if you pay good money for a beachfront property, then the government decides to close the beach, that's the equivalence we're dealing with here Bit more like if you paid good money for a modern 2-storey luxury house just behind a small 1-storey beachfront shac...
