Nightmare of a place to live and work out of. Choked with traffic, crime and socialist propaganda at every turn. A
million people have turned up in the last
5 years and no change to infrastructure whatsoever. Half the time you’re stuck behind a tram if you think you'll be clever and try to to avoid the tolls. Worse thing is the landslide victory in the elections basically saying “
we love this give us more”. How can a city this big not have a high speed train city to the airport in 2019, honestly. The current trains are broken half the time anyway. In the city you wonder when the next extremist is going to have a crack at getting front page news while the police run around in circles trying to catch them meanwhile locals chime in with trolleys and other "deterrents". Its a dead set circus.
At the airport the ATIS changes 3-5 times from setup to pushback and just about every 3rd pushback involves a runway change. On arrival it’s ARBEY, LIZZI and WAREN times over and over no matter what time of day or night. Runway and taxiway works that have been going for at least a decade. After 4 long sectors, 12 hours on the clocks you’re at max weight onto a wet Runway 27 quartering gusty crosswind tailwind. Meanwhile the carpark clears a million bucks a day while the airlines scratch their heads on where to find more revenue. Over in the that backwater Brisbane they've had an airport train for more than a decade and shortly two big parallel runways.
Seriously, the coffee and food just isn’t that good but if you’ve been outside of Australia.
Please flame me I want to hear "if you don't like it leave" as its quite original and well thought out. Was a great city, its been left behind and taken off on a tangent in the last 10 years particularly the last 5. Via Sunshine? Awesome, a few ICE fuelled bashings to get the kiddies up to speed sound like a great idea.
If you've been away this is todays Melbourne
