MeganGorrey Size does matter...but building high rise units that don't crack, sink down or get clad with flammable materials is a more pressing and basic issue..Fix those, and size will matter.

Coalition reveals plan to decongest cities | Sky News AustraliaPopulation Minister Alan Tudge has revealed Australia’s new strategy to tackle capital city congestion by pushing skilled migrants to regional centres.\n\nInspired by Canada’s migration model, the move would help with the distribution of population growth.\n\nThe Morrison Government has already dropped the annual migration cap to 160,000, with 23,000 places falling under regional skilled visas which will require applicants to live in non-capital cities for three years. \n\n“I think we’ll be overwhelmed by people applying this,” Mr Tudge said.\n\n“The evidence does show once you've been there for a few years, you put your roots down and that’s what we’re expecting here.” Good luck with all that. They have destroyed our cities through mass immigration, don't let them now destroy our iconic regional centres. It's all a con to turn our right wing regional centres into left wing socialist voting hell holes. Who have no water!
