Melbourne must be made ‘liveable again’: Victorian Shadow Housing Minister

[@rapscallion9333]

'Townhouse' is just a euphemism for cheaply built, overpriced dogboxes.

[@akie64]

Used to love Melbourne, even flew over from Auckland to get engaged their, on the Yarra. What a sad state of affairs, extreme left woke policies has destroyed the place, full of nutters, a place to stay away from.

Get rid of Liebor.

[@davidriddiford7385]

How about admitting the the level of immigration to Victoria over the last 20 years that has increased the population of Melbourne by 50% is making the place unliveable and that the infrastructure required to support the population growth has contributed to sending the place broke!

Hello.👋:) Going back to your prevoious comment, from my point of view, some recent ranking sites think that both Melbourne and Sydney are in the top 10 along with a few international hotspots. And someone may disagree with that to a certain extent.

The best way to make Melbourne liveable again is to reduce socialism and let the economy thrive.

[@ZELJKO472]

GOVERNING is how it got into a mess.

[@matthewflinders1978]

@@ZELJKO472 Yes, exactly, oversized/intrusive government is a feature of socialism.👍🏼

[@jonathanparle8429]

They would never vote for that in Melbourne. Melbourne is done for - for at least the next two or three generations. Sadly, regional Victoria (which is abut as anti socialist as you could ever find in this country) suffers as a result.

[@aaronbaines7698]

Reduce socialism? Anti-socialist? I'm sure they're just too busy for chatter or you'd upset them. And I wouldn't say 'done for' if it's in a healing process because it had too much going on. Other states are about to become strict, push many people around and drain their wallets dry. Don't let it be you if you're in Oz.

[@philiprachtman1217]

The problem for Melbourne is the council changed the off street parking time. It used to be free after 8.30 so you could still park at 6.30 pay for 2 hours and go for a meal/ movie /pub. But now it is 10.00. So you cannot come in easily and park for a night out.

[@jonathanparle8429]

As an example of lack of competence on the part of the Victorian Government, they bought a large block of land down the street from me. The previous private owner had tried to submit plans for townhouses and after two years through the court system they got knocked back. It got knocked back because of the overlooking rules and also because the surrounding infrastructure is setup for medium sized blocks with free standing homes - so there were going to be privacy, egress, entry, parking problems, etc. So the Victorian Government buys the land and then tries to do more or less the exact same thing. Of course that failed as well and the Government sold the land at a loss - they had bought it when prices peaked and sold it after the pandemic price slump.

Honestly how could have Victorian voters destroyed there state so badly, stop blaming the governments it’s the voters who are so easily manipulated as soon as the word free is announced

[@jonathanparle8429]

Well it is specifically Melbourne voters. Outside of Melbourne exist the most conservative voting cohorts in the entire country. It's something approaching 70% percent against Labor and even higher again in certain areas.

@@mkf628 It was good when I moved over 20 years back. People are far less rude than people in Sydney. I was in Sydney last year, so rude. Melbourne was good except for the cold and rainy in winter and Perth was good too but everything is spread out. Brisbane used to have cheap clothing outlets, could find cheap food. I miss the fruit vendors selling fruit and ice cold can drinks.
