I found the article on homelessness both very insightful and deeply concerning. The government, to the extent that it pays attention, all too readily looks for simplistic answers to what is a complex problem. Those on the streets are part of a wider problem. How many are barely managing to get by, with some small mishap all that is needed for them to find themselves on the street? How many are sleeping in cars? How many are resorting to crime in order to survive?

Increasing densification of our cities will only increase the heat effect by removing trees and other vegetation due to lack of space. It will do nothing to reduce the demand by an increasing population for all those basic resources required for modern day living – food, water, electricity etc. Australia’s population is located mainly around the coastline – why? Is it because water supply is more available? What about water supply in rural farming areas? Will this increase or decrease? Will food supply increase or decrease?
