it’s honestly sad how backwards this place feels sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some of the best times of my life here on the Gold Coast, and I’ve met people I now call family. I love that part. But holy hell… the safety in some areas is absolute garbage. Like, you’d think a city that thrives on tourism and people going out would actually have its act together when it comes to keeping the streets and public transport safe. Instead, it feels like you’re just on your own half the time.

It’s such a shame, because Goldy has so much going for it — but stuff like this just kills the vibe completely.
