The aerial photo of Miranda in the Leader (April 7) shows environment- friendly family homes with private yards, trees, solar electricity, water tank options, off-street parking. Miranda Public School is adjacent.
All these homes will be destroyed by profit-motivated developers building high-rise, energy-gulping, wind- focusing, shadow-casting units.
State government and council planning laws are forcingthe overdevelopment.
Edde (Your View, April 9) refers to huge apartment buildings nearing completion at Gymea.
The Kingsway is spawning units like stacked high-rise mushrooms. Children in these cells will never hear a cicada or see real mushrooms in backyards.
Readers can now see all the (over)development high-rise units under construction along the Kingsway, Miranda to Kirrawee.
Visualise the growing traffic clog.
Recently elected MPs should reverse government ongoing pressure to increase population density here.
