  1. I think they missed a perfect design to trap the bad in one area by blocking off the exit If you been to sport staydems how hard are they to get out of quickly Yeah I'm Adelaiden we are heaps different every state in Australia are not one is alike here we are more conservative and try to retain as much as our history and heritage Where's place's like Melbourne and bigger city's not so much as they tend to put more emphasis on population growth and compete to be the largest for investors Where's we are interested in investors but not at any cost so it's harder to deal with our government in Adelaide why other states call us large country town feel or the state is backwaters or backwards but we enjoy live more as it's cheaper here and family friendly to live not hussel and Busselton like the bigger city's We don't have toll roads all our museums art galleries and other stuff all free as well food's cheaper because their are less corporations involved but it's sadly changing Like most of our stores are not open on weekends as that was common in Australian it was the day for the lord even if like myself none religious it's a big shock for tourist but if you go into the burbs the smaller retailers are allowed to be open why theirs a big controversy going on as this gives the little mums and dad a chance against corporations Also if someone has to work on a weekend their are penalties rates which makes it unaffordable for corporations on Sundays while mums and dads run theirs without staff normally otherwise have to pay penalties as well

  2. Also if you look how we are designed in Adelaide our town centre is in square grid system and we have alot of parks around and throw our the city centre The newer burbs now being built with Calder sacks or dead ends because investors can get a extra house where the road would've connected in a square grid as the other states struggled for room they built like this very early on This is how you will tell your in a newer area in Adelaide as older one have connecting streets if you turn left or right 4x you end up back where you came from it's much safer for emergency services as other design having to go along way around to get to the as dead end street's I believe you'd like Adelaide alot we have outback beaches winery's cliffs mountains and a quieter layer back country feel with the minimum amount of city luxuries almost all within half hour to hour around cityscape cheers keep enjoying 😉
