Any additions to existing properties within the North Sydney Council area which adds more "beds" is a worthwhile offset to the multistory monstrosities that have destroyed the village nature of Crows Nest and the rest of North Sydney (Neutral Bay is next). Such developments offset the state government's (sponsored by building industry moguls) mandated increase in housing availability for a further15,000 residents.
A country with a population density of 3.3 people per square km. doesn't need any more Crows Nest style 'Packer Peckers' to house its people. Next thing they'll be wanting to fill Lavender Bay for a new Star Casino and an expanded Looney Park (Ooops! Luna Park).
