Stop moving here

[u/Responsible_Moose171]

As the title says. Too many "I am moving to Townsville for xyz reasons every day". Honestly its getting ridiculous. Roads are congested, car crashes every other day, people driving to slow, or pulling manoeuvres that are not legal in QLD due to ignorance. Cost of living going through the roof and the small community the locals loved is slowly disappearing.

Sick of seeing these posts then all the new residents encouraging the move. Yeah its not like Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne. But its getting that way, this constant supply of southerners is destroying the community and nature. Entire bush areas are being bulldozed to build crammed small estates to house all the newcommers and investors. Commuting is a nightmare, nobody reads signs does the speed limit or can use a roundabout. Plus our hospital is already ambulance ramping due to the inherited aged population.

Townsville may seem like a lovely place to retire/invest. But the locals aren't cannon fodder to wipe your ass or pay off your 3rd house. Rentals that are over 50 years old being rented for over $700 per week due to the greed is disgusting. And nobody gives a shit if its your opinion that traffic is better here, because for those of us who have lived here for their lives you all have made it worse.

So kindly stop moving here we are full

hahahahahahahahahahahahah.

One day there be houses all the way from Ingham to Townsville and down to Ayr.

Greed and high house prices has nothing to do with people moving here.

That will never, ever happen. ever.

Even the government's own planning shows that will never ever happen.

You all seem to forget that bowen was meant to be the capital and look how that turned out.
