My dislike for suburbs

[Platypus]

Melbourne has one of the lowest densities in the world in the outer suburbs; there is a massive urban sprawl. Damn 1/4 acre blocks.

Anyway, the suburbs are just for people to live in. That's it. They're like great big apartment blocks, in that people only go there to sleep at night and that's about it.

I personally livge in the inner city, which is actually the nicest place of the city. Well, some parts of the inner city are sh**te, especially the uinner northwest, but the inner south is fantastic. The 'middle suburbs' are very nice, they're the pre-ww2 suburbs, which had a big boom in the 20s especilly to the ast of the city center. They're really nice areas, and they're close enough to everything to make them enjoyable. I've read that Melbourne is the 5th largest city in the world in land area-and with 4 million people, compared to 18 million in cities like Mexico City, that's no small feat.
