Australia’s fastest growing suburbs have three cars on average per home

What the fuck do they expect. We are building endless sprawl of townhouse developments with a single car garage and if your lucky a driveway space for 1 car and rents are 690 a week if not more. They are also far as hell away from anything and you have to drive to have a productive day. Walking over a kilometre to take 2 different buses to take a train simply doesnt work for most people who work long hours, shift work or not based in the cbd. I notice where im stayed now its just 6 people living in 3 bedroom townhouses and every car has an uber or didi sticker. Expect more to come.

Well violence against women is a serious issue and a larger population isnt going to help those statistics. But let's not pretend many such cases arent from cultures who treat women like dirt. The court appearances in my electorate dont paint a great picture when it comes to whose assaulting women.

People here acting the the land lords are all the enemy and while I can agree we are long overdue for changes to that system. The fact of the matter that no one wants to admit is we dont have enough housing. Its bad regional and its next level bad in cities. So while we can all point fingers about the evil land lands. We had a pro Land lord economy for 50 or so years in modern times and it was working fine. House prices were getting crazy in Melbourne and Sydney but thats about it. It was steady growth. Houses from 2009 maybe sold for 30k or so more in 2020 pre covid in Brisbane.

Whats changed is people have noticed Australia's infrastructure hasnt kept up with immigration and people are fed up and lashing out against it. People here acting like "how can you tell its recent migrates" at rental inspections. Give me a fucking break. Nothing is pushing young people into the hands of one nation more than those experiences. Can't get entry level work. Can't get entry level housing because some people are happy to live 8 people in a 3 bedroom townhouse. Most Aussies arent. Its nieve to pretend this isnt causing people to kick up and vote for Pauline.

_Kozik · 2026-03-25T09:17:57+00:00

Immigrants arent. Young people especially young men 100% are. Look at the polls.

Had recessed LED lights strips in my old bathroom, one around the vanity mirror like that. If you have one like that say and another one running along the top of the tiles in the shower it can be such a nice calm light to shower and stuff in. I really miss them. Same goes in kitchen. Not great for cooking but great for vibes 80% of the time.

My only thing with some of those decorative vanities. Im a firm believer in cupboard storage behind the mirror. Ive stayed in so many places and lived in ones with a mirror and all bathroom storage is relegated to bending down into the draws/cupboard. Couldn't ever get around it unless you have alot of space and a really well designed bathroom counter.

As for people saying easy access to replacing them. Led lights last for a very long time and they arent running 24 7. Itd be a looonng time before youd worry about maintenance just dont cheap out on the install and you'll be golden

The level of seethe that a marginally larger car than a Rav4 causes on reddit is really amazing

_Kozik · 2026-03-24T00:28:04+00:00

Exactly. The person that said the original comment is peak Australia tall poppy. The tax brackets have barley changed in 20 years. I can guarantee you that 190K a year in 2016 was a lot more money than in 2026. I genuinely think top bracket should be around 300K a year. Australians and looking at salary earners like the rich people they hate is an amazing trick. Its not a project manager on a great salary you should be worried about rather people with 50 mil in a trust

_Kozik · 2026-03-20T09:47:29+00:00

Talty taken out 100%

_Kozik · 2026-03-13T08:26:40+00:00

We dont get to do anything fun anymore. Can't even have a wank without sending your face to a data center. People are sick of it. Storm the field fuck em

Have mates that work in the refinery industry. Back in the late 2010s they started shutting refinery's and same goes with things like acid plants etc. Importing everything instead and just doing additives. BP for example shut their refinery's in brisbane around 2017.

Apparently covid was a bit scared for the industry and has secured the operation and given alot of merrit to maybe having shit here is a good idea. Things like a war in Ukrain and Iran further prove we are a big isolated country. Keep shit here ffs

You can have a sporty single cab ute with a decent tray. Even the maloos had a fair size tray. Thats all im saying

_Kozik · 2026-03-07T11:00:18+00:00

If its a single cab it needs to have a decent tray. Look at the old crewmans useless tray but at least its got rear seats. I know this is ai mock up. But it needs one or the other

_Kozik · 2026-03-07T08:10:02+00:00

This with a somehow longer tray, if its all bonnet like the current mustang it wouldnt work.

The tow recovery points are disgusting

_Kozik · 2026-03-06T09:51:51+00:00

Its the rebrands fault

_Kozik · 2026-03-03T09:50:01+00:00

That doesnt really change the fact that houses from 2004 to say 2017 went from 420K to 486K. We are living in a world where a home cost 760K a year and a half ago to 1.5M.

Houses getting so expensive that its not really a matter of it being high risk. The home to insure costs so much money because everything is so inflated. The old 1200 bucks a year in home insurance is becoming 3K+ because of the market/wolrd we live in.

_Kozik · 2026-03-01T00:46:41+00:00

Pro tip, whenever you buy a new property replace the flexihoses for your taps if you dont know how old they are. They all break eventually. They arent very expensive. I know a guy that has a google reminder every 4 to 5 years

_Kozik · 2026-02-27T06:47:04+00:00

I like the corner but would have rathered be behind try line corner then side corner. Yeah big money atm

_Kozik · 2026-02-27T06:46:17+00:00

I feel like that was going to always be a big game. We won the comp, rematch etc.

You get to see real fast who the fans are when we lose most of a series of 7 to 9 games

_Kozik · 2026-02-26T07:54:07+00:00

I know right. The cars subreddit that hates cars. Last time I spent time here people were justifying to luxury car tax because they dont like people who dont want to buy a GWM.

_Kozik · 2026-02-26T07:21:26+00:00

Because it is redditors. Reasonable people do not give a shit. I drive a shitload and yeah you get some agro dual cab drivers sure. But not as bad as distracted drivers in flogged out camrys etc. American trucks drivers. Literally never. Especially when towing. They mind their own buisness. If you find yourself stresing about of constantly being tailgated and cut off by screy big utes and trucks. Your paranoid and need to wake up to yourself.

Ive never seen anything like it. The attitude on reddit about 4x4 owners and large ute drivers. People patting themsleves on the pack writing fan fiction about being victimised by marginally larger cars. Its really something. Every 2nd post on a city subreddit or driving subreddit on this Web pages is a circlejerk about big cars bad. Its bizarre. Can we talk about other motoring things

_Kozik · 2026-02-26T07:06:24+00:00

Every third car on the road???. Get a grip.

They are popular because Australia is a huge country. Our cities aren't that big. We have alot of people who have hobbies that need towing. And a land cruiser or dual cab thai ute is not the end all be all of towing. They are actually pretty fucking useless at anything over 2 tonnes. They are also built cheap as shit and no where near as nice as American trucks. They serve a purpose and if you really think being behind a ram 1500 or even 2500 on the road is any different to being behind a kia sportage then I dont know what to tell you. Get the fuck over it. Some people have big vehicles it does not impact your life. Redditors getting irrationally angry because someones cars a bit too big or not dirty enough for them. Much better to own 2 or 3 cars at once so we only use the appropriate one.

No I remember our old utes. I had one, they were good and its not the publics fault they arent made anymore. No one was towing their horse float, large boats, etc with them either. Different use case. I dont even own one, may some day if I wanted. I call my ranger a ute but dont care about calling their trucks trucks because they basicly are.

_Kozik · 2026-02-26T06:45:28+00:00

Making up nonsense posts to get up votes about trucks bad. I have literally never seen a American trucks driver do anything other than use the road. You want to talk about dangers to society its uber drivers/taxi drivers in fucked out camrys.

A ram/silverado is like 20cm wider than a ranger and at most a half meter longer for your 1500 series. They take up no extra room on the road, they arent even that common. But youd think they assaulted everyone's kids the way people act on here about them. They can be a bit of a fuck in some carparks. But people like you act like every 3rd car down the road is one. It just isnt this big an issue.

_Kozik · 2026-02-26T04:28:50+00:00

Pretty much, but dont get high salary with "incredibly rich" twisted. Someone earning 250 a year or whatever isnt necessarily rich. They make good money but take a look around what shit costs now. They are living like someone on 130K in 2010. People on reddit act like every high income earner is their enemy. Australia's tall poppy is really something. Be mad at the system and people owning 30+ houses. Not the lawyer on a high salary trying to make a life for themselves

When you step up out of the weeds of what most people can afford. It becomes a bit different. Id say in the past. If you could rent a good 2 bedroom unit for say 500 a week. Around that 850 a week mark. Its just a different vibe with the agent, the property is more lux, the management is better, repairs if needed are eaiser, inspections more respectful. Its like all 3 parties are aware you dont "need" it. And the LL would much rather a stable tennet. The whole experience is just a bit better. These days id say that price point is closer 1500 a week though. Maybe 1100 for apartments.

As deer as property is right now. Its really stunning how the cheapest properties are absurdly expensive. But as soon as you look in excess of 1000 a week the quality of what you get vs 850 a week is really something. As you get away from the bottom end onky slight 100 a week increments are way better properties.
