Re: News & Developments: Bowden TOD

Rode my bike over to bowden to have a look around the markets today. You know for a development centered around active forms of transport, it's one of the more egregious displays of car park chaos I've seen in some time. I was also taken back by the sheer volume of car parking provided and only a sm...

[COM] Re: Adelaide Oval Hotel

I actually really like the idea of a hotel built into a stadium, but they're talking pure and unadulterated bullshit if they're claiming this wont affect the amenity of the eastern grandstand. In fact the whole "oh you wont even notice it's there" angle is pretty suspect, although not surp...

Re: News & Discussion: Cycling

Linear park underpass for south road was finally reopened today - some two months late AND they hardly did anything during the extended closure, given 2/3rds of it is still built from the 'rustic' timber which is well past its used-by date, but whatever. On the approach to the underpass, heading ea...

Didn't ACC defund their share bike scheme on the back of Ofo's initial success?

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide City Council

Wow, Haese is on fire in the past 24 hours. Big thumbs up to Bryan who pipes up and complains that single occupant vehicles arent adequately catered for in the CBD: https://www.facebook.com/278632829004386/photos/a.279665325567803.1073741828.278632829004386/819739034893760/?type=3&theater Then a...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

Where's our new Premier? Over the weekend he was on Facebook saying something about Labor's sense of entitlement and promising to "take the fight" to them, which are confusing statements from someone with a 25 seat majority. Guess after so long in opposition it takes a while to change mod...

Re: 2018 South Australian State Election

Hopefully they were right. I don't think so and am worried what is going to happen the next few years, but in my mind the best possible outcome is if 4 years from now I am considering working to re-elect Marshall due to the growth of SA so I will hope he does a great job. Sure you have to give them...

Re: 2018 South Australian State Election

It’s interesting how relaxed and not really concerned they are that they lost(those Labor members who didn’t get back in) I guess when you’re on a pension for life that’s well above average wages, you don’t have much to worry about, especially considering god knows what brick and mortar assets they...

Re: News & Discussion: Trams

All going to what I predicted. If the Liberals get in the right-turn issue will be "investigated" with the conclusion that the whole thing is a mess and needs to be rethought, with tram extensions put on hold indefinitely. Their plan doesn't make any sense anyway. What are they going to d...

Re: 2018 South Australian State Election

"and the crypto people" :lol: "Whatamigonnado!" I like the idea of an innovation hub there but the lack of supporting narrative from the Libs makes it all sound a bit shallow. "We're getting slaughtered in the young demographic, announce something bitcoin related".. bu...

Except the majority of Galley and Altitude are cheap hotel rooms and large swathes of both buildings are unoccupied at any given time. Oaks have also secured a chunk of West Franklin, although I understand much smaller. Hopefully WF can bring a better sense of residency and community to the area wi...
