      I’m Australian, and the photo clearly showing that you can park a car and get two cars past one another tells me that these “narrow streets” are substantially wider than all the normal streets in my vicinity.

      I suspect this is more of a stroad (and planning) problem than an actual narrow street problem.

    Wow, that’s some terminal right-wing privatization going on there. Government not only completely shirking its responsibility to build a public street, but even abdicating its authority to ensure that the developers it delegated the job to did it properly.

    “However, council cannot force landowners to develop their property.”

    Asked if council could force developers to build two sides of a street, the spokesman said it could not.

    Motherfucker, what part of “eminent domain” do you not understand?! Building a public street is exactly what that power is for!


    That said, everyone involved also deserves a bitch-slap for their failure to comprehend the concept of one-way traffic circulation.
