I do for sure, humans are going to keep populating more and more with even thinking to try and curb their numbers ? how is that going to end ? with no environment is how.

Same applies to save the animals PT.  Help the people out of poverty and the animals benefit.  Poor people look after their animals as well as they can but if your poor and you don't like animals the poor things suffer big time.  But if the animal is no longer a threat to your well being then you will look at it differently.  Even realise they have a place on this world also.  Poverty is the crime of the centuries.

Look at house prices in Australia.  THere is no way they make sense.  We are crippling out own childrens future having them so high when wages haven't kept pace with them.  We aren't like Singapore or HK with small amounts of space yet we continue to push up prices on what is essential for every family whether they rent or buy.  THe higher the cost of the home the more a renter has to pay also.  To a point where they can't affort to rent either.

The Australia I knew has changed dramatically in the last 40 years and not for the good of it's own people.  Except maybe the top tier.

Look around at the mansions being built.  We don't need that sort of space to have a happy home.  Look at the developments around ROuse Hill.  There are no back yards and small blocks but where is the land put aside for green space - essential in our climate.  Where are the eves to help keep the sun off the house at the height of the day.  Or the verandahs to keep the sun off for further into the afternoon and just a good thing to have in our climate.

Everyone seem to build big and then they need to run aircons all day to keep cool or warm.  That is a crime of no education about what we need to do to live our best lives and keep Australia liveable.  Not raising a dam (when that could weaken an essential item which could really wreak havoc if it even did go) to put more people on the flood plains.  

They do know about the Nepean which flows through Camden/Narellan and floods without help from the dam even before water is coming out of the dam.  That same river ends up in the Hawksbury and will still cause some flooding even when the dam doesn't overflow.

And what is it with high rises and there cracks and bad foundations.  Build it right the first time to cater for wet seasons and dry seasons and all the havoc that does with the ground.  We obviously get both!

So inspectors found taking bribes should perhaps have to live in one of those inspected flats.  Put their hard earned illegal cash into something which could crumble away beneath them also.  And even after bankruptsy builders have to be held responsible.  Or councils who gave permission to build with flooded houses. 

And stop with the killing off animals which aren't native.  The way people move around hardly any of us are native to an area anymore.  They try to kill the wild horses in the USA and that's actually where horses originated.  They died out but came back with the new settlers and the spanish.  

Australia has changed from even when the first aborigines set foot of the soil.  I don't think any of us know exactly what the next changes will look like but we have to move with them.  Stop teaching your children that they matter more than anyone else.  Because no one does.  We are in this strange world together and who know where the next genius will be.  The poorest child in a slum in India or Prince George for all I know.  But with limited resources we have to learn to live with the conditions around us not try and impose ourselves on the soil.

Ask any farmer about land management.  They can't take and take.  It's a give and take.  Well folks we have to learn to give a little and live a little gentler on the planet.  It will make for a better life all round.

Will you need a smaller house to accommodate a verandah.  Yes you will.  But you wont have so big an energy bill trying to live through the summer and winter.

 good post, Furious.

  McMansions are energy guzzlers. Do we all really need that much space when family sizes are diminishing?

One would hope they have good sound proofing.

I had six kids in a four bed house TJ.  Plenty of room when they were growing up.  Not so good for adults who need more space having acquired more through the years.  So you are 1/2 right.  But even as teenagers we made it work.  Having some outside space helped!

growing up, I lived in a three bedroom home...with only one bathroom, but a separate toilet...with eleven other people. Seven kids, Mum and Dad, Nanna, and two cousins whose parents had died. 

 You learned to hold your bladder...

 Four of us girls topped and tailed in single beds. It taught me how to sleep without much room or wriggling. To this day, I still sleep on the edge of my double bed...with one foot out.   Old habits die hard. 

 Unhappy

The real threat of 15-minute cities

The Guardian’s Oliver Wainwright recently discussed a new “international socialist conspiracy” that has taken the world by storm. “Fringe forces of the far left,” he noted, “are plotting to take away our freedom to be stuck in traffic jams, to crawl along clogged ring roads and trawl the streets in search of a parking spot.” The name of this “chilling global movement?” he asked, sarcastically and somewhat contemptuously: The “15-minute city.” Wainwright believes these cities are simply part of a “mundane planning theory.” He’s wrong.

A few days after Wainwright’s piece was published, three academics called 15-minute cities (FMCs) “the hottest conspiracy theory of 2023.” In a truly elitist manner, they poked fun at those who dared to question the motive behind FMCs.

One needn’t be a card-carrying QAnon member to have fears over these Trojan-like creations. Before going any further, it’s important to get our definitions in order. As the political scientist Kelly M. Greenhill has noted, not all conspiracy theories are wacky, and not all conspiracy theories are wrong. Take the Watergate conspiracy theory, for instance, or the fact that Edith Wilson made most of the executive decisions after her husband, President Woodrow Wilson, suffered a stroke. Quite often conspiracy theories turn out to be accurate.

Also known as smart cities, FMCs are places where everything imaginable, from your place of work to your favorite pizzeria, is accessible either by foot or bike (not by car, though; they will be verboten) in 15 minutes or less. What’s so bad about this?

On first inspection, very little. We are, after all, creatures of comfort. We live in a world where the mantra “Too Long, Didn’t Read (TL;DR)” now reigns supreme. We crave convenience; we crave expediency. However, expediency isn’t always a good thing; sometimes it’s downright dangerous. This is especially true when people, either consciously or otherwise, trade their freedom for ease of access to certain services. FMCs may make it easier for citizens to get from A to B, but these creations will also make it easier for those in power to spy on us, to harvest our data, and enable Big Brother to become Bigger Brother.

As I write this, FMCs are being actively championed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), the group behind the “Great Reset” and the idea of owning nothing, having absolutely no privacy, and being very happy. This fact alone should concern all readers.

Want to discuss the WEF?

To many, I’m sure FMCs sound incredibly cool. But don’t be fooled by the name. FMCs are actually “smart cities.” As I have noted elsewhere, the word “smart” is really just a synonym for surveillance. These ultra-modern, tech-saturated monstrosities use hundreds of thousands of sensors to vacuum up copious amounts of personal data.

FMC policies are currently being rolled out in cities such as Barcelona, Bogotá, MelbourneParis, and the dystopian wasteland known as Portland. What do these cities have in common? Surveillance technology. Between now and 2040, cities right across the United States (and beyond) are predicted to spend trillions of dollars on the installation of additional cameras and biometric sensors. Sure, surveillance is bad now. But, as Randy Bachman famously hollered, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

By 2050, more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in closely surveilled urban centers, like glorified rats in cramped cages. Contrary to popular belief, we no longer live in a panoptic society. When Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher and social theorist, put forward the idea of this prison system, there was no internet. In truth, there weren’t even cars. We now live in a post-panoptic world—a digital panopticon, if you will—with huge social media platforms collecting personal user data before selling it to the highest bidder.

The companies running these platforms often work closely with government officials, identifying supposed sinners and punishing them in the swiftest of manners. As the writer Kylie Lynch has noted, these companies know absolutely everything about you; they have instant access to your browser history, your activity online, and now, rather worryingly, even your biometrics. Not surprisingly, these Big Tech companies will have a big impact on the FMCs of the future, by providing the underlying digital infrastructure needed to monitor us and ensure mass compliance.

FMC are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Don’t believe the countless stories telling you otherwise. It has become common for elitist, mainstream outlets to poke fun at those who dare to question the “we have your best interests at heart” narratives. We have been burned too many times before.

sorry but that article is pure dross. When ever I see the words "great reset" I cringe immediately. Want to talk about big brother, ok that's a real topic its everywhere not just in cities, and cities becoming convenient to get around has been going on for ages in Europe, it's due to more people moving into them for work. Even if you live in the countryside and you want to take a plane or a taxi or a boat anywhere you are on camera period, if you want to blame something for increased BB security and CC awareness, blame 911. Security worldwide exploded ever since that attack. Conspiracy theories are pathetic they really are, dime a dozen these-days since social media took off, every kook with a phone line has some bollocks to spread using pseudo scientific bull-dust, they always come back to oh some are true like Watergate..give me a break.
