I write regarding the letter on Woy Woy high-rise housing (Andrew Lewis, CCN435) – this is a band-aid approach.
The root cause of traffic congestion, lack of aged care, immigration and lack of housing is overpopulation – and yet no-one, not politicians or even the media mentions this at all.
They just talk about the consequences of it and what band-aid they can stick on it.
Even predictions of Australia’s population are wrong.
It is now more than 27 million and they said that wouldn’t happen for another 18 years.
That’s a real blow-out, and who is doing anything about it?
Population growth is exponential but politicians don’t seem to know this or if they do they don’t care.
The root cause of every problem we face is overpopulation and it seems the Central Coast is copping the brunt of it.
As most people say, we are a suburb of Sydney.

So True,
The root cause of all our problems.
I’d strongly doubt we’re bearing the brunt of it considering Western Sydney. In saying that, I don’t understand how no other politicians raise the fact that a huge bite of the state budget goes to infrastructure there rather than elsewhere that has also had significant growth like the Central Coast.
