Read a report in a paper today, here are some of the extracts (link below).
Does it sound like Dublin (or maybe Cork, Limerick or Galway)
XXXXXXers complain of daily traffic snarls that can gridlock parts of the city, the high cost of road tolls, routinely late trains, hospitals that struggle to cope with more and more patients, worsening air pollution from cars, a rising cost of city living and lack of affordable housing.
Unreliable public transport and road congestion are the top complaints by XXXXXXXers, with 70 per cent of all trips made in cars. Rail represents just four per cent.
XXXXX today is a collection of dislocated suburban villages connected by transport ribbons which, due to lack of investment in recent decades, have become the city's clogged arteries.
Poor urban planning and the dependence on the car is seeing the walk-to-school routine disappear in XXXXX, with 50 per cent of children driven to school.
Well, its actually Syndey - just goes to show the grass is not always greener (though the sun may be sunnier!).
