Just today we were talking about the Bays Precinct Development at our PARK(ing) Day stand... http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/controversy-over-highrise-vision-for-western-harbour-20140914-10gihm.html

A push for 20-storey towers across a prime stretch of Sydney Harbour, from Barangaroo to Glebe Island, has sparked alarm, ahead of high-profile business talks on the redevelopment of the area.

AFFORDABLE housing in Sydney ??????????
http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/nsw-government-criticised-for-secrecy-over-public-housing-proceeds-20140918-10ikc2.html

The NSW government has refused to tell taxpayers how it will spend hundreds of millions of dollars reaped from the Millers Point public housing sell off, despite a parliamentary inquiry expressing concern over the cloak of secrecy.
