@StryderNotavi which raises the obvious question, what were all the other Councillors doing instead of attending the previous Council meeting?

@samhkennedy @ajsadauskas @fuck_cars surely it's because of the cycle lanes?

@ajsadauskas @ppossej @SituationCake @Seagoon_ I want to know why their systems can't determine how many avocados I'm buying

@kudra @ajsadauskas @wscholermann @Seagoon_ someone told me that it's partly to do with the interaction between the prevailing wind from the west and the Dandenong range to the east. also all the evil london plane trees

@Meron35 also, the parks around the ground are used as car parking for AFL games, just not for Tay Tay
"...Australia is heading in the wrong direction. In Melbourne, for instance, the amount of space devoted to private parking has increased by 156% over the last 20 years. The MCG’s green oasis is very much the exception."

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars yes but the idea of using individual cars as mass transit is just incredibly innovative. City Nerd's review is worth a watch to understand the true genius involved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfVdge8DhB4

@RogerBW @thepixelfox @Zagorath @pineapplelover @dgriffith @ajsadauskas the school my parents sent me off to, which was not at all egalitarian, had a whole second-hand uniform resale process which seemed to work well

@ajsadauskas @RM_Transit @fuck_cars totally agree. there is no excuse for work not to start immediately on upgrading the tracks between Campbelltown and Mittagong. That will have significant benefits for freight and passenger services to both Canberra and Melbourne
