@Baku woah that’s an interesting backstory thanks. I was thinking like “me=unstable parents, him=military parents” level of detail lol.
I was asking coz I’ve noticed that I (child of hippies, always movin’) have a lot in common with children of military folks (always posted elsewhere, always movin’), and wondered if you’d hit a parallel dynamic.

Yeah… I’m a100% YIMBY, but the issue I’m seeing for Straya is our status quo of large property developers calling the planning shots can’t lead to any of the good outcomes some parts have Europe have seen (e.g. Vienna) and instead seem to point towards entrenching the growing divide between those who can afford a house and those who can’t.

@Duenan @RustyRaven I went thru a “half a shot of decent espresso plus a bit of decaf instant powder so it doesn’t taste too weak” phase when tapering
