When governments talk about social housing, they seem to forget that Victoria is not just Melbourne, some of New South Wales is not in Sydney and quite a bit of Queensland is not in the South-east corner or on the coastal strip.
There are lots of regional cities that have all the niceties? of the capital cities without the drama of heavy traffic, cheaper land and housing, services that match or exceed those of the capital.
Add in the more relaxed lifestyle and the feeling of belonging in a smaller city.
Let me add a PET PEEVE:: TV channels that refer to regional cities (in their own right) as “outer suburbs” of the Capital City. Absolute mis-information!!!
