North v South sniping goes to parliament

Interesting.

On a related note, mate of mine just purchased a house in Chisholm. Nothing unusual about that but he was a deadset fan of buying Northside, considered it more trendy and the better location.

Anyway, he had a look around, a few things influenced his decision, like price, block size, crime rate and types of crime etc and he bought southside. While speaking to his real estate agent about his previous desire to live up North the agent commented that he had made the right decision,

…..”Northside is going downhill, people are moving out in droves, some people are moving before they even sell up, they just want to get out!”

This from a real estate agent!

Has anyone heard of this phenomenon?

PS: Yes, I’m back…..but much nicer now. =-)

Yet to see a collapse in property values on the Northside. Will keep watching. Thanks for the intel, Captain….

Yeah, probably from an agent who sells exclusively on the southside! Hahahaha!

Where’s the biff?

I can’t say I’ve seen lots of people fleeing the inner north recently. Was this real estate agent the one selling your friend a house on the southside? I wouldn’t take what he says as gospel if there was money involved.

Oh come on we can do better than that. How about the east/west of Northbourne social divide?

We don’t like to mention the inhabitants of Ainslie over here in O’Connor. I’m sure some of them are quite nice though, and doing as well for themselves as is to be expected. Watson is another matter, of course…

I grew up in downer Downer and we were ostracised by the inhabitants of upper Downer. Many years later I lived for a year in middle Downer and we weren’t really accepted by either side.

whether you prefer the spotted or plain Sumatran Sloth.

Definitely the spotted, the plain is so, well, plain.

Frankly I’d go for the Northern Spotted Sumatran Sloth.

Yes, you’ll get more performance out of your Northern, but they’re not as robust as the Southern or Central.

Am I the only one who finds this north v south ‘rivalry’ a little…retarded? People get so fired up about it. Who cares?

Read the thread. You are not.

Agreed. Canberrans should stop arguing about which side of the lake is better and focus on the real enemy – Queanbeyan.

Exactly. We Queanbeyanites yearn for the day when Canberrans are smart enough and have the natural charm needed to compete on an equal footing.
