FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Consequently the local New South Wales government faces an “ongoing
catastrophe” over its wasted investment of almost $2 billion (£1.34 billion)
on the new Homebush Bay suburb.
The former Sydney City Councillor said the area, about 10 miles west of the
city centre, was now a “ghost town”, with the main train line to the city
operating “four times a day, off-peak, and not on weekends” and a lack of
any sense of vibrancy.
“Legacy depends far more on front-end strategy, connectivity decisions;
location, urban fabric, transport,” she wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald
newspaper on Thursday, in an article titled “Where
the Brits have us beaten”.
“It is not rocket science. Cities have always lived and died by connectivity.
So it should be obvious that any Olympic legacy is only as good as its
connectivity.
“Yet Sydney, already tyrannised by distance, did everything possible to deny
such connectivity, forever. It never made sense. Despite our best efforts,
the place is a ghost town.”

In comparison London planners identified a “rust-pocket that was accessible
but seedy, needing help” early on and created excellent transport links,
such as the Docklands rail systems, close to the 560 acre Olympic Park.
London also correctly decided to host events at city locations such as Hyde
Park, Greenwich and the Mall so the “Queen can watch cycling from a
Buckingham Palace balcony and the plebs can watch beach volleyball in Horse
Guards Parade”.
Problems were evident as early as 1990, three years before Sydney won its
Games bid and a decade before it hosted the Olympics, as senior bureaucrats
dismissed arguments to build the precinct in a centrally located area, such
as Darling Harbour.
But officials also had an “amazing” lack of plan to deal with toxic waste at
”one of the most contaminated sites in the world”, no understanding of its
location and link to the rest of the city while they also created “idiotic”
transport proposals.
The London
Legacy Development Corporation will revamp “Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park”, in Stratford, east London, into a regenerated district with 8,000 new
homes, schools, nurseries and health centre.
It will also have new visitor attractions while the Olympics facilities will
continue to be used for sporting events.
