    It’s so depressing. Our city in Australia had such a good robust tram network and they ripped it all out because they hired an American urban planner that promoted cars is the future. Now instead we have a long car tunnel named after the Lord Mayor that was responsible for it.

        On a side note: I’m always amused by grand claims that get ever more specific.

        “the largest in the southern hemisphere’s third biggest metropolis that has a giant guitar with at least three strings and a large pineapple”
