Sure, it happens, but not all antisocial people are homeless, and not all homeless people are antisocial. They are not equivalent. One train fare per day is pretty cheap rent to have somewhere warm and dry in winter/cool and shady in summer for people who might otherwise be living in a car or under...

Excellent :) This is a really important project for Adelaide and SA. If this and the Tower 2 are built, it will change the look and the perception of Adelaide. Good luck :) and I look forward to seeing the final building layout and visualisations on the SCAP agenda :) Indeed, these buildings should...

You have a false equivalence of homeless and antisocial. Besides that, what stops homeless people (or railfans) getting on the first train in the morning (paying one fare if applicable) and staying there all day? Is there more than just a lack of onboard toilets and food services? the paying part t...

I don't love it and it is very in your face. It will dull with time though.

You don't have to love it. You only have to think it's no worse than a blank concrete wall with saltdamp stains on it.

you wouldn't look at the wall if it weren't highlighted by this 'mural'

I can see where they're coming from. They want to look at the sea and not be distracted by the wall which looks like trash piled up with this mural on it. Cooked comment. As if you would say that it looks trash. Plus the wall is there to protect the community during storms, unless you are an advoca...

as I said before, you'll get homeless people riding around on it all day and night just like public libraries where they're allowed to sleep in all day and throw their food & trash all over the floor... no matter about hygiene...that's all gone out the window for 'social justice' You have a fal...

Not this again. "Free" PT isn't actually Free, is it, because somebody (the taxpayer) still has to pay for it. While it's a pretty blunt stick to use, charging for PT use is one of the few levers available to balance supply and demand, especially during peak periods where there's a limit ...

so vagrants can sleep on trains

this will only accelerate our decline

I hope the platform at the new Port Dock Station is long enough to cater for NRM events

Mali wouldn't want to upset the foamer lobby

In 1836, a port was essential for a remote new colony. The river was barely navigable all year round before the barrages were installed. Having said that, Governor Hindmarsh preferred Victor Harbor. That would have sufficed till it ran out of space and water, by which time rail technology would hav...

it goes to the old main street of Port Adelaide where almost nothing happens. Do you assume that will still be the case 50 years from now? I acknowledge that the revitalisation of the Port has always been a bit of a non-starter but in the current climate of housing shortages (which you openly ackno...

In my opinion Port Adelaide arguably represents one of the state's best opportunities in the near-term for both a commercial hub outside of the CBD and a location for medium-high density housing. Providing the necessary infrastructure now will save time and money doing it retrospectively when the p...

Fine. On the one hand there is apparently extensive modelling and evidence from crashes to support the change. On the other hand there are those complaining that a drive through this section will take an extra 30 seconds under ideal conditions with this change. On the other other hand there are tho...
