https://i.redd.it/q9lxsw6de8wc1.pngThis is The Ponds - a new suburb in western Sydney. Built and developed by Indians for Indians. Destroying our way of life and the vibrant city we used to call home. Every tree uprooted and unbearably hot in summer. Why councils allow this sort of destruction of our suburbs is deplorable. But whilst Labor keeps bringing them in in their millions it will continue.
Reminiscent of the cherished terrace houses of inner Sydney, pity they wasted space and materials by not terracing.From Wikipedia,
