“We’re solving the housing crisis, the traffic crisis is a you problem,” says NSW government announcing 8,500 new homes but zero new lanes or roads

BOTTLENECK BAY: The NSW government is continuing its bold strategy of solving one crisis while aggressively ignoring another.

The Premier today unveiled a plan to build 8,500 new homes at the newly named Bays West in the heart of Sydney, with no additional road infrastructure.

“After paying $2 million for a one-bedroom apartment in the new development, buyers won’t be able to afford petrol anyway,” says the Premier.

The project will include a new metro station.

But drivers don’t buy it.

“As if I’m ever going to use public transport,” said one eastern suburbs man.

“Anzac Bridge is already such a punish. I’ve been stationary near the Rozelle interchange since 5.14pm.

“During peak hour this entire area is basically a parking lot, just without the convenience of being near anything.”
