Yeah I’d love shit like you see in that Spanish city with those dense blocks of a few story high buildings everywhere, looks nice.

Although if we want people to build up we need to crack down on the standards of apartments, because I don’t know about Sydney but they’re fucking atrocious down here.

I think you mean Barcelona, right?

Yep, equally as fucked up here. Nobody's gonna buy a place that has borderline non-existent soundproofing and insulation, shit amenities nearby, and a not insignificant chance of becoming uninhabitable due to structural issues. And you'd still probably be looking at around a million for that.

As much as I hate the sprawl, people don't really have much or a choice with the state of things.
