read this while sipping my coffee and honestly, what a joke. how can they claim 'economic growth' while people sleep on the streets?

mate i see them every night under the bridge near my flat. they're there. open your eyes.
yeah nah the construction boom isn't trickling down to the people who need it. all these new apartments and they're $600/week. who can afford that?

48 new faces in one month? that's insane. what's being done about it? oh right nothing, just another headline.
