I never understood why the internet praised the MCG so much when it's literally next to the monstrosity that is Punt Rd

@Meron35 also, the parks around the ground are used as car parking for AFL games, just not for Tay Tay

I actually went past the MCG on a train while reading this...
It's interesting that CBD traffic has dropped as the government had closed roads, removed parking, and jacked the price of existing parking to be unfeasible.
They're pushing for more parking, but it's in suburban homes and train stations. Most homes out my way have a 2 car garage, 3 cars, and the garage is always full of shit so the streetscape is barely navigable from all the dumped cars.
The suburbs are becoming problematic with traffic. Everyone is unbelievably lazy, and refuse to walk anywhere. I would see people leave their driveway by car in the morning and see them 5 minutes later on the train platform. I would get off the train in the evening and would be the only pedestrian that walks past the car park. Yes, I own a car. It spends less time outdoors than I do.
