Disgusting greed no yards.

What has happened to the AUSSIE backyard

swhie :

Trees!! We need trees! Surely they can't be allowed to have zero greenery like this??

garry :

why do Australians not like large rear gardens 🤔

Anj :

what if we just built actual efficient housing aka apartments in tall buildings

user9910443121514 :

this is disgusting why is the government letting this happen. There's a shortage and they build that crap

Lucius :

We need Soviet style urban planning

Troy Garvie :

Developers squeezing every last dollar 💰

Reg Tarpon :

Whatever happened to the rules that you had to leave a significant portion of your block vacant and have at least a metre from the boundary.

dabun78 :

I thought you were going to talk about why those houses are so tightly packed together in a country with such a massive amount of space.

Lo :

The lack of greenery and trees in these newer suburbs around Australia is so disappointing! 😩

Angie Ioannou :

Australian building standards are lower than low.. pop a cheap evaporator cooler on top, with ducted gas heat, fry in summer, freeze in winter while paying huge energy costs

😘😘😘 :

Urban planning at it’s finest.

Stuy 🇭🇲 :

Trust me most of us want bigger yards and more trees but the councils won’t let us have bigger blocks.
