The same applies to most other places. This governments, "development plan", has led to homelessness, the destruction of central Hobart which is now a concrete nightmare and massive increases in prices for everything.
Tasmanian's are now rapidly being priced out the market for everything as cashed up "mainlanders" buy up the real estate to escape the climate nightmare, and the developers are having a bloody field day.
This state used to be a real paradise. Its now royally F'ed up. Don't waste your time or money coming here.  |
I've visited four times this year including trip to Bruny. Never found it like that and liked it so much I'm planning to move there as soon as I can finish working. We always have a chuckle at the GPS navigation that announces "traffic is light as usual". You should try living in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane to get a benchmark for expensive property and awful traffic.
