    I used to be able to afford a simple apartment in an inner suburb. Now I cannot and I’m living in the outer suburbs which is soul destroying. Driving anywhere sucks. There’s no where decent to take a walk. Crime seems to be way up. If I was more settled with a family then maybe I’d have something to focus on, but it’s up 1.5 hours to my old BJJ gym if traffic is shit, fuel costs a fortune now, cycling around here is suicidal, most of the food is shithouse due to lack of competition. The people I meet on dog walks seem to be specialists at rorting the welfare system - eg, one guy is on a pension for drug abuse and still abusing drugs, there’s a bunch of government houses in the area that they’ve given to miscreants who trash the property they’re given and invite a bunch of shifty criminal friends to hang out at who proceed to commit more crime in the area.
