You could still build smaller homes but there’s so much space in Australia and a lot of it is barren. We could use fertile land for farming and start building in less fertile areas but no one wants to live in semi arid environments.

Slap on a nice fine then send her back to MAGAland

Gonna sit back in mein kampfy chair and give it a watch and review

We do it’s just more “boutique”

There are still people making clothes but they usually only do small orders. There are still people making doors and windows, greengrocers and butchers still exist. It is a little more pricey but if we all shifted to locally made and owned then a lot of necessary manufacturing would move back to Australia.

They can continue making the garbage I don’t need and don’t buy overseas.

If we invested in better city connections (bullet trains, express country trains) and invested in industry moving away from large population centers then more land would open up in regional areas.

The only reasons I live so close to Melbourne is because there’s no viable way for me to travel here and I make better money working here.

If I could make similar money or travel quickly to the city as tradesperson in some dusty regional town I’d be there in a heartbeat

Could you imagine if these people did just one thing for other people?
