Re: News & Discussion: Cycling
The concrete channel seems absolutely required though unfortunately, at peak periods the water flow through there is massive and the drains are part of the infrastructure for preventing potential flooding of the area, have often thought how wonderful it would be if it could be more similar to the T...

Re: The Housing Crisis
The teal 'independents' will never hold government. They were only elected in elite areas as they're backed by big corporate money who stand to financially gain from the policies they advocate. Do you have a better solution? Continuing to allow faceless men to control who is available to be elected...

Re: The Housing Crisis
That's just not realistic. The majors monopolize the media and the overwhelming majority will always vote either red or blue. That's clearly not always true - there were a bunch of "teal independents" elected two years ago. Collectively, we either agree to elect whichever party hack the b...

Re: The Housing Crisis
The issue with immigration/housing at the moment is with housing costs so high, including rent, housing stocks being so low that we are in a deficit, is that with all those issues making it extremely difficult for people already, do we really need to be adding hundreds of thousands more people to t...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
sounds inefficient to me It works for East coast. Regional rail services are the backbone of this. there's 8 million people living on the east coast Are the east coast regional railways only used for passengers? The SAR network was built for freight, with passengers also using it. Most passenger se...

Re: Riverland & Mallee | Developments & News
Running a train up there for events such as the Supercars weekend, would be a good test to see if it's going to be utilized at all. I'm sure some local may decide to jump on the train and head into Adelaide for example that weekend and come back, depending on how often it would be running on those ...

Re: Riverland & Mallee | Developments & News
Run 'event' trains up there for the supercars weekend as a start. There are probably three or four event weekends a year. Is there enough Overland rolling stock available to run event trains from existing equipment or would new trains be needed anyway? Is there a siding at Elwomple? That might be w...

Re: Riverland & Mallee | Developments & News
It's 120 homes across the three developments... The problem with opening the railway station for The Overland is what would make it cost-effective? There must be some cost in just slowing the weight of the train down to stop and getting it going again. There's also the cost that (assuming it's most...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Rather than build new areas in outskirts of Adelaide I think we need to build up and encourage people to live in regional cities instead , for example Murray Bridge and Wallaroo. and how would you encourage people to live in those places? We could encourage people to live in those places by providi...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
Long commutes should be unpleasant enough to encourage better choices, which take time to change. More cross-suburban public transport would help people choose it. People who live in outer areas should work there, or people who work in outer suburbs should live there. Just like new freeways, new ra...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
When living in the suburbs is getting more and more expensive and inaccessible to first-home buyers, the only natural way for things to go is outward. Bowden-style living also isn't suitable for all people, some might want a mid-sized home with a fair backyard to raise a family and will happily sac...
