So the Greens oppose new housing, but then complain about the lack of housing. Greens city councillor Jonathan Sridoesn’t care about housing.
It’s naked, raw, self-serving politics. Meanwhile, Cr Sri wants to permanently close roads at risk of flooding.
It would mean more time in traffic for everyone, from mum-and-dad motorists, police and ambulance personnel to buses and cyclists.
Cr Sri said recently: “If what you’re staring down the barrel of having to spend millions of dollars on resurfacing roads that are just going to crack up again the next time there’s a big flood, maybe you have to start thinking seriously and talking to your transport planners about modelling whether some of those low-volume roads are better off being removed from the network and just converted to active transport.”
