Decades of "affordability" fixes in NYC, price controls, rent regulation, blocking automation, and black market workarounds, have done the opposite. The more politicians try to control housing & transit costs, the more expensive both get. Unintended consequences always win ๐Ÿš‡๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Gridlock is a choice. Any metropolitan area grappling with clogged streets now has hard evidence that the benefits of decongestion pricing arrive quickly, and public opinion can shift positively with results. Other metros donโ€™t need to copy NYC exactly. They can learn from its detailed monitoring, robust mitigation, and visible reinvestment of revenue. A smart pricing system works for people who need to drive themselves and transit riders whose buses move faster through downtown. ๐Ÿ‘‡

CoS (2000) should build more apartments, but some perspective is needed in the context of the housing crisis. Syd has built more apartments than Mel over the past 10 and 25 years, and about the same over the last five. The big difference is houses, where Mel has far outpaced Syd.
These two charts are related to each other. National tragedy.

That will be the best result from this casual users /visitors wonโ€™t have to mess around with a Myki and @taipan168 is a very important visitor ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
Only almost seven years later than Sydney, but I'll look forward to finally not having to buy or top up a bloody Myki when I next visit. ๐Ÿฅฐ

The Ballarat Freight Hub is exactly the kind of major project that will boost Victoria into the future. This project will move more freight by rail and help reduce emissions - while bringing great local jobs to Ballarat. It will support the movement of thousands of containers to the Port of Melbourne, and transport 300,000 tonnes of grain annually to George Weston Foodsโ€™ new flour processing facility. Itโ€™s a win for jobs, a win for the economy and a great boost for our regions.

An awful lot of people insist both of these are true: ๐ŸšŒ Distributing wealth to pay for transit infrastructure is communism. ๐Ÿš— Distributing wealth to pay for car infrastructure is capitalism.
